Well, Kurt, I've got Beer Tastes and a Kool-aid Budget, so I can't help. Where I work we have drilling rigs waiting for the State of California to issue permits. Some permits were approved last August. Rigs are still waiting for the approved permit, to be issued. (Approving & Issuing, are two separate processes here) No work can start until the permit is issued. It is one gigantic furball of fubar.

1/25 MPC '33 Willys Panel Van - Paddy Wagon
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I'm sorry Patrick. I fat thumbed the year. I meant '50 Merc, but you are correct. A '51 Would Be Great! -
Here is HPI Guy's build. And Chris shows the extremely Lame, Pseudo- 2'n'1 Version that Revell foisted on the public. Not Chris's fault. He does a good job with what he was given.

History of Monogram's Squarebody GM Pickups

Well, it Will Be nice to have the Blazer back. I can see the Kit Bashing possibilities already. -
Ah, Thanks.

Odd. I never found him funny, Just offensive. Still, may he RIP.

I notice that all the Lancia Rallye cars have those Aero Discs on the Front Wheels. I saw them first on the Iltaleri Lancias. What are they for? Some Kind of Brake Cooling Fan?

Racers wedge WIP
stavanzer replied to Blue Ox Model Shop's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Just a guess. AMT tooled it that way because: 1. They were just taking shortcuts to use an already existing kit, and they chose not use Dual Rims. 2. Somebody thought is looked 'cooler' and 'Coolness' was a 'Thing' back then in the marketing of kits. 3. Got me! I can't think of any other reasons. -
Try looking over at the "Modeling Madness" website. Scott Van Aken who runs it, is in St Louis. He might know. https://modelingmadness.com/index.htm

Yeah, John, a Jimmy is certainly possible given the interchangeability of both 1/1 and Monogram Squarebody trucks. I may need to acquire one of those '76 Stepsides my self.

What irks me? Noisy & Needy Amazon Parrots. The minute I get up, he starts calling for me.

John Shoe, that is a great I idea. But, use the recent '76 Stepside kit in order to get the proper stock engine, rather than the '57 Fuelie Intake that is on the GMC Snowplow truck. That will get you the stock suspension and hood, plus some stock Chevy wheels. That will get you the closest to a stock Blazer, although it will still be topless.

Stacey David's Rat Roaster by : REVELL

Looks like the SBC, with new Valve Covers, from where I sit. -
Tom, my wife uses those glasses. Can I give you a tip? If you are not a regular Glasses Wearer, go back and buy Ten Bucks worth, and just hold onto them. You will find yourself misplacing them and sometimes stepping on them. If you have a few put away, there will be no Drama when something happens late Sunday Night when the stores are closed. (ask me how I know) Cheers, and Good Luck. Nice to see that the Print has gotten bigger, isn'y it? Alan

I'll never own another American branded car. Toyota, Honda, Hyundai or Kia are my go to cars. Realistically, though, I may never purchase another car. My 2014 Toyota Sienna is probably the last car I'll ever own.

1973 Audi 100 4 door sedan. I bought it in 1981 from a good friend of my Dad's. (Some Friend.) He moved 2 weeks after selling me this turkey, and at 18, I had no idea how to work on this Germanic Back Birth. It had inboard Disc Brakes mounted next to the front transaxle. You could barely see them, let alone reach them to change the pads. When it ran, it handle well enough, and it was my first experience with FWD, but keeping it running was a PITA. Being German, and part VW, it had the same Horsehair stuffed seats that VW's had and the same damp, rotting smell that old VW's get. I paid $500.00 for it, drove it (when it ran) for about 6 months, and paid the Junk Yard $200.00 to haul it off. Worst Car by Far, in a lifetime of so-so cars. (The 383 powered '65 New Yorker, was a close second)

Wow! What a nifty little race car. You really did it justice, and nailed the period vibe on this car. -
AMT/Model King 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente
stavanzer replied to Stevearado's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks, Steve. For those that want this kit, the new version will be great. It would be great is Round2 would toss in a sprue from on of the newly tooled Garage kits as a Bonus, since this kit is a curbside, but that may very well be a bridge too far. As it is, it will be a nice kit. -
