My Little Camry has been well cared for. I am the Third Owner. My Grandmother bought it new in 1987. She gave it to my mom in 2015. My mom gave it to me last year. It is indeed a creampuff! The CV joints are just starting to make that loose bearing rattle, but only on tight turns. So, I will probably take Ace's advice and not worry about them just yet. 30 years ago, I replaced Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda Axles all the time. But, I no longer have access to either a shop or a hoist, and I'm not going to try doing the job on my back in a driveway. I may to try to price some axles though. I may not be able to get them once the car is 40 years old. Thanks to all who gave useful advice. I've read and noted all of it.

I'm driving an '87 Toyota Camry, 109 Thousand miles. It sounds like it might be needing to have the CV joints replaced. Do I dare trust the local Toyota dealer to fix it, or should I find a local shop. The Shop I used to trust has been sold and the none of the Old Techs are there. Not sure if I can still trust the place anymore. And speaking of parts, I figure that genuine Toyota Axles are the only way to attempt to get Quality parts, but you never know now days.

I don't know about the Kit, but my next door neighbor has exactly that truck. Teal, Stepside Bed, Extra cab. His has Cragar's on it. -
And those Big, Fake Exhaust Zoomies on each side.

Mercedes Benz SSK
stavanzer replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Pierre, your work is just so "real'. It never looks like a Model. More Like a Wingrove Miniature! Fantastic, Jaw Dropping Craftsmanship. Good Show. -
Fantastic Build, Terry. I really think it looks like a Street Rod would have looked back then. Good Show.

1961 Ford Galaxie Club Victoria (AMT - 1/25th scale)
stavanzer replied to bh1701's topic in Model Cars
Great Build. It is so nice to see a car built in the style you would have seen on the Streets when it was new. Very Sharp Car. Good Show. -
Awesome to see this kit built! Since Round2 just released another version of the Dodge, I wish they could find the few Unique "Smokey" parts and add them back to the kit.

Great Build! I like the little Japanese sedans. Good Show.

Revell 1965 Chevy Suburban
stavanzer replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Awesome Quality Build. It looks real. Good Show. -
I think the 3D printers will fill this Void. I suspect that Some of the big 3D folks will jump on this kit in a big way. It will be a money maker for them, as I suspect in one form or another it will be in the Revell Catalogue for some time. Thus many 3D parts to sell for it. By June/July you'll probably have your choice of Grilles and Wheels, and other parts.

Revell: Stranger Things; Billy´s Chevy Camaro
stavanzer replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
This Revellogram kit has been issued so many times with the T-Top body, that getting a T-Top car, is just one eBay purchase away for anybody who wants one. For me, I'm happier to have the rood solid, as my attempt to use the clear tops and make a solid roof car, still sits on the Shelf 'O' Doom.
