Great Build. NIce to see a Stutz Touring Car.

Looks Great. Colours are perfect.

Mod Rod, has a Model B Banger engine with an overhead cam head, and Twin carbs. the O.H.C. Unit is very very 1920s. All versions of the '27 T kit have the O.H.C. Option parts, even the Police Car. Sadly the Fruitwagon is based on the AMT '25 T kit, and has only stock engine parts. You did a 5 star job on your hopped up engine.

Of Course, I should have known!

Nice Jeep. I had a '79 CJ5 with the 304 V-8 and a 3 speed. I still miss it.

Great Build, Pete. Has a 2 cylinder Porsche engine in it, right?

Wow, Tim, I had not ever heard that. Larry Greenberg first pointed it out. Once Seen, you cannot Un-See it, as folks around here like to say. I substituted an AMT 2 Carb intake on mine.

Looks like it might have the Mini-Lite Wheels.

That Entex kit is a real Dog's Breakfast. You did a great job saving it. The wheels look very nice.

Very Sharp Build! Looks great!

I had one of these. 1980 Pinto Pony. 13" wheels and totally stripped. Radio Delete, and only Heater / Defroster. Nothing extra, Uncle Sugar bought these things bare bones as they could be built. Ran like garbage, and eventually failed the California Smog Test. It cost too much to repair, so I paid a junkyard to take it. (You had to pay junkyards to take Pintos back in the day. Completely worthless cars)

Neat Information! That is why I like to read here. Ford Parts on a Pontiac. Would've guessed!

The so called 'Hop Up" parts in this kit are a joke. The Valve Cover is nice, but the 2 carb into one intake manifold, that bolts onto the original intake is a sad joke. Revell could put this out again, as it is otherwise a great little kit.

Can we get the Mojave Mule and the Blazer back, please? The Mule is a favorite. Buddy down the street got one for his 11th birthday. I wanted one so badly. So 6 months later on my birthday, what did I get? The GMC Pickup.... I should have been happy with with, but you know how kids think. I wouldn't even open the kit for a month I was so bummed. However, I DID eventually open and build it. It was good kit. Best part, my buddy liked the GMC better than the Mule. He wound up with it in a trade, and I got a Red Baron showrod kit. (if you notice a Monogram theme, it is because the local toy store carried more Monogram kits than Revell. We hated Revell kits anyhow. Fiddly, Fragile & very hard to build, for us anyway. The Monogram kits went together in an hour or so. The Revell, sometimes never went together at all. And Many Revell at that time had awful 2 piece tires. At that age we played with the kits as much as built them. so the sturdy Monogram kits were clear winners.)

Brad, You are correct about the trucks having the 402. I forgot about that engine.

We call that "Making Wounded Moose" noises in my family, Painted Black. I've not done it in about 5 years.....

The 400 IS a small block. I had one in a '72 Station Wagon. Miserable Engine. 2 Barrel Carb only and totally gutless on the topend. But It had gobs of torque. Smoke most Factory 350's off the line, then ran out of steam, about 5 seconds later. The 350 would beat me to the next stoplight every time. https://itstillruns.com/small-block-chevy-400-specs-7350617.html

Dennis, that looks Great. I can see a need for Resin Copies of those Revell Front Tires, real soon. There are going to be a lot of those front Halibrands in spares boxes, wanting them.

Indeed! A Happy Thanksgiving to everybody on the board!

When I go to the Hot Rod Reunion at Famoso, I notice that many of the 'modern' rebuilds of older Dragsters, have a much more Chrome or Highly Polished parts, than they did 'back in the day'. Not Sure why. Since many of them are just Cacklefest Showpieces, that might be the reason. So, don't feel bad, Jim. You did nothing wrong.

Thanks, Chris, your timing is perfect.

Gas Dryer. About 15 years old No changes to my laundry routines. Screen has been washed several times. I've not put anything on the screen. Even after washing, the lint still sticks. I have not tried Dawn. I will. Thanks!

The lint now sticks to my screen, and won't peel off cleanly. Any thoughts? PAM and WD-40 seem messy and flammable.

Thanks Tony. He had a big bath today. He really enjoys them. It is the last one he'll get for sometime. It is getting too cold to let him have more. Wet Parrots look absolutely miserable, poor things. He's drying off now and having peanuts.
