Can-Con

Steve, I also recommend STS. I had them do up some Porsche 911 rocker stripes with the lettering a few months ago and they came out great. Didn't cost near what I thought it would either.

Speaking of the decals in the original kit, the "Warlock" tail gate decal was too big to fit the panel on the gate. I don't know if that's true with the original decals or just the recreated sheet I got from Gooche but I had actually made the panel larger to fit the decal on mine. It was still a touch big but close enough for me to live with. Hopefully, if it was like that on the original decals , round2 would check to make sure they're not too big this time.

No, it said on the sheet "bonus hood decal" or something like that. Big hood decals were the hot ticket at the time and the custom MPC one very much looked like it could have been the real thing.

If they did a '67/'68 it would be a custom, pretty cool though. GM didn't start selling Blazers until '69.

RK-2 Sunrise Orange according to the list of available colors on the brochure.

Not at all the same. The Midnight Express was very similar to the LRT but with a hi output 400 instead of the 360,IIRC and there were only about 200 made. The Warlock was a much more common package available with any engine including the slant 6 and in 2WD and 4X4 drivetrain and in more colors.

Unfortunately, no. The stock '53 engine is a flat head.

Carl, they did. In '77 they came in black metallic, green metallic and bright red. In '78 they added citron green metallic and sunrise orange. I think the '78 black was a solid, not metallic like '77 but I'm not sure.

No, but as I've already built one, I doubt I'll be building another. But I am glad to see it for everyone else who would want one.

Thank you Peter. That's a perfectly reasonable explanation. If the Admin had of put it that way instead of ,what looked to me as blaming me. for the problem that would have been much clearer. ?

Gee Michael, that kinda sounds like you're blaming me specifically for the problems, the same ones that have been experienced by many other members for weeks now. ["When in fact it could be that you are entirely at fault and clueless as to how to fix it"] , , BTW, I changes absolutely nothing on my computer in months, it was working fine on this site up until Friday. If I had responded like that to you I bet you would have awarded me a special point for it. ? Did I not say it was as much our problem as it is on your side? ["the problems are as much on your end as ours"] But, hey, you have a great day. I'm gonna go and work on a model car now. ?

That's exactly the response I was expecting. Seems I've hit a nerve. My point is, the problems are as much on your end as ours, you as much as admit that in that post. " It is looking like we may need to do a major software update, that will add, remove, relocate many functions and will probably change the overall look of the forum. How happy is everyone going to be when that happens?" ,, well, if the board is then working properly for everyone then I would expect everyone using it would be quite happy.

I'd normally just give that a "like" Steve but I no longer can so I'll just say,, ???

Exactly the same a happened to me. I did try clearing my cache but it didn't help, in fact, after doing that I had the pleasure of having to sign back in to everything I ever joined, including this forum and redoing settings on pages that needed it originally. A huge pain in the but for nothing. Funny that all our computers work normally on every other site we go to but it's our computers that have a problem, not this site.?

Here's the pic they used,, and a link to the web page they took it from,, https://www.classic.com/veh/1967-chevrolet-c10-pickup-ce147a126447-4VREPd4/

This is the one I expected when Steve G. said there would be a kit not seen since the late '70s. I wonder if they're going to run with the chrome wheels or do them separate, molded in gold plastic like the original? , , And I do hope they do the decals in metallic gold with the custom hood decal that was in the original. But, of course, I don't need another myself.

If you mean the red truck in the pic above, that's a short bed, David. A '67 [no side markers] with a custom front bumper and a custom seat, wheels, shaved emblems and scripts and probably more. Probably just a place holder pic for the show.

Don't know what you did but I can only open the first page of "unread content" now. Always worked fine before.

Yea, it's quite old. One thing I think would be of use would be in scale carbon fiber print dip. That would be so much easier then cutting and fitting separate pieces of decal on complicated shapes for the carbon fiber look.

Seems to me this is exactly what the OP was asking about, Peter. From the original post, , "Is anyone familiar with a process called "hydrodipping" (maybe "hydro dipping")? I've seen a (very) few videos where people have used a film that lies on top of water, dipped whatever item they plan to color slowly though the film that is floating - and the pattern of the film is transferred to the object. Seems there might be some application for our hobby, but I've not actually seen this in person - so I don't know how think the film is, etc. "

, , , and fix the roof. There's just something wrong with the side windows but I just can't put my finger on it. Looks like the door windows dip down too far at the back and the opera windows look too narrow maybe???

No, they stopped at '69. A '70 kit would need a whole new body as the sheetmetal is completely different from the doors back from a '66-'69 as well as the back window.

Sounds like your doing everything right. This happens to me all the time too. You have to be careful not to get anything between the paper and the paint your polishing. Or sometimes a bit of grit from the paper comes free and makes scratches. Also, are you sanding in a different direction with each grit? that helps. When it happens to me I just start over with the finest grit that will get rid of the scratches and continue on.

That's what I was thinking.

Not the same. I just checked those 3 kits. , kinda, I have the '72 cvt which I assume has the same wheels as the '71 hardtop. Anyway, the AMT wheels are deepest , '82 are shallowest and the '72's are in between.
