Man, I really miss the Comic Strip, "Shoe"! One of my favorites!

Thanks for posting Photos of both the Wheels, and Engines! I have a better Idea what to look for now. I'll be installing that FE 427 in one of my '34 Builds now. Thank You!

About the correct ratio!

I am so sorry for you. This kind of thing is extremely hurtful.Sometimes you do need to take break, and re-evaluate the whole situation and relationship. Even with family, sometimes it can be fixed, and other times No-Contact is the best thing for you to do. Good Luck.

What? It looks fine.

Excellent Work. You have captured the Soul of the Original Truck! Good Show.

I'd say option B as well. Our Oil Patch Trucks in Kern County are not as big as yours, but some of them are pretty stout.

I agree 100% on the restoring the stock wheels/tires in this kit.

Outstanding Build! Good Show.

Wow, what a great start!

Great Looking Truck! Sure Captured the Zeitgeist of the Full Size Rig.

I've got to get better at reading. I read "Rust-Oleum Satin Warm Camel" on the first Pass. It sounded like a real colour to me.......

Some Great Techniques shown here. I'll remember them.

What a Fantastic Job, Nathan! Your conversion is excellent. Good Show.

That is the Best, most realistic build of this kit I have ever seen! Just a great finish.

Good Luck on Your Build! This is still a pretty decent kit. Not the Best, but still builds very nicely.

Excellent Build of a rare kit. Superb Workmanship.

Neat Pic of the Contents. Thank You! Was the Chrome Tree that stripped down in the original?

Thanks for Commenting Dave. I knew you would know about it. Is that the 427 Ford from the '32 Vicki/Phaeton kit? If it is, it would be an easy Kitbash.

The side of the box says "Haulin' Hemi" I've never heard of this kit before, even with the detailed history of it published in Scale Auto Enthusiast back when the '34 P/U turned up in a Lindberg Box. Sure would like to know more about it.

As it says. I need a couple of the Gauge Cluster / Instrument Panel decals from this kit. The Decal sheet shows 4 options for the gauges, so I'm hoping somebody has a couple that they can spare. My recently purchased Mod Stocker Hauler Kit has great decals, but no gauges. That's what I need them for. Thanks, Alan Alexis

I'd say let's wait about 6 more months before panicking about Tariffs. Every other Day there is a story about the President, threatening More Tariffs, Reducing Tariffs, Putting Tariffs on Pause, or some Other Tariffs story. He's been President for less than 5o days at this point. Let's not go off about this until we actually see prices steadily rising. I think the markets are waiting for things to settle down. Then they will see exactly what the Tariff percentages are, and price accordingly. So, for now, just set back and give this whole thing some time to shake out.

SuperDan. Those were some Super Cars your family had! I really like the AMC, and the Comet Cyclone.

I can report seeing this kit in the Wild at Hobby Lobby. There were 4 on Tuesday, none on Wednesday. So even out here in the sticks, the Blazer is a hot commodity.

I stick to the real deal. I've had the Off Brand blades rust and go dull very quickly.
