Oh, mine has hidden in my garage since 2000. 25 years later it still looks new.

I have this MAC Gatornationals Toolbox as a souvenir from wrenching professionally from 1988-1996. Still full of tools too. Mostly Snap-On, Matco, & Craftsman oddly enough.

Central Valley in California. Supposed to be 106 this afternoon, with 108 on tap tomorrow. Not sure how accurate the forecast is though, was only 101 yesterday. Predicted was 104. Temps just seem to be 3 or 4 degrees behind the forecast. Which is nice.

Those are the optional steelies, pictured on both box tops. The Stock wheels shown below are not in any Ranger Kit I am aware of. I am looking for the slightly more stylish rims as as seen on the kit boxes. Both kits also a have a Styled "Mag" rim on the chrome tree, as well.

I am looking for the factory Steel Wheels and Tires from this Kit. Or This kit. I have lots to trade. Regards, Alan

Yeah, that stool is not rated for my Gross Tonnage...LOL

Randy, did you ever get and build the Ford Ranger?

That Chair. If I sat on it, it would collapse like deflated beach ball.

Washing Machine in the Kitchen? Makes sense from a plumbing standpoint, but it odd to American Eyes. We would have a dishwasher in that slot, here. Good Luck on the move. I hope it works well for you. The View is sure nice.

Had a Good day. Physio-Therapy went well, Got some bad news about a Job Training program that has been stripped of Federal Funding by the Trump One Big Beautiful Bill, but I've been trying to get accepted since January so while I am bummed I'm not surprised. Went to Hobby Lobby, and bought nothing. Wish Round2 and HL would rotate the stock more often. So,all-in-all a pretty good day.

That is exactly what happened according to a story I read online. But, instead of standing out, they lost their distinct identity amongst the others, IMHO.

I'm ready to read it when you write it, Sir! Your Knowledge of this historic car is breathtaking.

Here is a 3D printed 1960's AMC. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267277025317?itmmeta=01JZHEBE4GFS1N90QQEKSHWV9T&hash=item3e3af3c025:g:wqkAAeSw-ltoQJjr

Mike, I'd look for the Recent Round2/MPC Streaker Vette for the parts. I linked to the Nightstalker/Streaker Vette & Cosma Ray instructions so you can compare parts. Looks like the Chassis and Engine share many parts. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/1-sort/mpc-nightstalker-67/?view=roll https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/show-rods/mpc-cosma-ray-505-200/?view=roll#1

Wootini!

Roy. This may explain why there is no engine in the kit. This is the 2.7l engine. No way to render this in styrene so that it would satisfy today's Ultra-Picky Modelers. Better to let some Aftermarket 3D printer take a shot at it.

That looks Awesome! There are not enough stock Effies built. Good Show.

One of the reasons I like this kit. Both of those are in the kit! Charles, a really great build of the Honcho! The details are well done. Where did you find the wheels? They really upgrade the kit. Good Show.

I had to buy the '65 Comet AFX Kit, just to get the Twin Nostril Hood for my Street Machine Comet, so if the '64 Comes with the same style unit, it saves me buying the extra kit.

Great Choice!

You are So correct!

I really like the Chicken Coop! Too Bad you are so far away from Cali.

Are there any other Revell kits that have been molded with out Chrome Parts? Or is it just these two kits? If it is just these two kits, I'm not worried that this is a trend. Let's wait and see if any others are sold with out Chrome before it becomes too big a Thing.

Fireworks. After Midnight here in California. Loud Booms still going on. Watched one Illegal Operation shoot Mortars for over 3.5 Hours!. About 11, the guy next door set off 45 minutes of Booms so loud that they set off car alarms for 20 minutes..... I'm sick of Fireworks, Sick of the Idiots who Blow them Up, and Sick of our Useless Fire Department, who makes nasty threats about "Really Cracking Down on Illegal Fireworks this year" , and once again, not following through.

I watched it when it came out. My opinion? Too Much Money, not enough Brains. "Just Because you can pay to have it done, does not mean you should do it." He was what I'm beginning to call "Boomer Stupid". Guys with the financial means to make their Wildest Teenage Hotrod Fantasies come true, but not enough brains to learn how to drive, use and take care of their new Fantasy Come True Rides..... There seem to be more out there every day, and many show off on YouTube to document how ***** they really are.
