Getting closer, ready to do the decals.

Great trade with Leica007 (Lei Cannon) Thanks Lei !

This was the first kit I ever bought! Paid $1.50 for it at a little hobby shop.

A little more done. Keep getting pulled away from the bench.

Dealer wanted over 600 bucks to diagnose and replace a front hub on our Dodge Journey. Was 100 bucks just to diagnose it if I would have let them do it. Already had a good idea what the issue was, hub or sensor but with both the traction control and anti lock lights on the bet was on sensor ring on the hub. Took it to a little shop here in the small farm town we live in and he hooked it up and it showed the ring on the hub was bad. 239 parts and labor is what he said it will cost! He didn't charge for the scan and even said if I wanted to fix it myself it was still no charge!!! So I am letting them do the work! First time ever for us to let a shop do something other than an oil change or tire repair!

30 minute drive to town after fasting for an ultrasound of my liver. Think she was trying to push it all the way through me. Got back home eating breakfast, finally and she calls and says they need to do it over because they lost the images somehow. Car is in the shop tomorrow so have to go back Wed. Morning.

Like to have the Skelly decals rather than the kit supplied Shell decals. Going to use them on a White 3000 conversion. Worked part time one summer in High School at the Skelly Truck Stop south of town.

This thing is nerveracking!!! But finally got the frame in place best that I could. CA is your friend at moments like this!

My guess would be they are saying, "no way" to getting back in that piece of soon to be space junk! LoL

Haven't ridden since the labor day weekend 1980 at the request of my wife. On a New Harley when I met this nice old lady in a 68 Rambler Ambassador. Spent 4 days in the hospital not knowing if I was going to ever get out of bed again. Had little to no feeling in my arms and none lower as a result of cord shock. Everything came back fine after that. The bike was totalled, and my insurance agent said he never got my message and so it wasn't covered. She had no insurance.

Moving along slow but getting there. Paint cure times seem to keep getting slower and slower.

This just came today. FedEx left my package on a porch across the alley with the same apt. Number, again. Everything still sealed in their bags. The decals do look iffy. May have to try and find another set or have some new ones made.

Anything that keeps the mind working to solve problems. We got my late mother-in-law away from the television and working word search, crosswords and jigsaw puzzles along with exercise, walking and saw fhe progression slow.

Going to put 5 spoke Dayton wheels on the AMT Tanker and need one center cap like the one shown.

Just had a great trade with Rocketman 455! Thanks Chuck!

The edges of almost every piece has to be cleaned up. Horrible alignment of the dyes make it impossible to completely clean up the parting lines completely and nothing lines up. And I thought the original release was bad! LOL

My sister is in a nursing home, her bank account was frozen because they saw suspicious activity. She tried to order something from the store on her debit and it would not go through. She called the bank and they had froze it the night before. Said it was a porn site attempting to set up a recurring subscription. Now she has to wait 3 to 5 days for a new card.

I am quickly remembering why the first one I tried building in the late 1970s never got finished!!! I'm determined to finish it this time!

Spending a wonderful day with my Bride of 54 years as of today!

But it is always a great feeling to be home, ain't it! I remember always needing a vacation from my vacation!

One I built decades ago and my son had it. He decided to mold the flares in but soon lost interest in model building. Appears to be testers putty that he used. I redid the interior and painted yje underwood area in Grabber Green. Paint can leaked and had to toss it. I just don't have the coordination nor the eyes for the finish work. What ya got to trade? Ve

Just finished the trailer. Put it off for a long time fearing putting the decals on something so bumpy! LOL Jerry's decals were great only used testers decals set with them and they settled in good with a little work.

Really sharp build! Gold is a hard color to do!

Wow!!! Love that color ! Great looking build Carl ! Was that the kit that came with a non stock rear panel and you had to source a stock one from somewhere?

This old kit was lurking around a long time so decided to get it built. Decided not to do a WIP as it is just an out of box build.
