Man, I'd like to find the Ford F-250/350 "Star Truk" that cheap!

YouTube Box openings are how I determine whether or not I spend my now (very) limited modeling budget on a certain kit. Seeing what's inside and looking at decals are very important to me. And it is nice to see different opinions from various channels.

Enjoy the Snow, Ace.

Wonderful Backstory, and great build! You usual High Quality weathering too. Good Show.

I worked as an Acura Mechanic from 1988 to 1993. One thing the the older guys taught me early was 'never' adjust the seat controls unless you had to take a 'long' (over 5 miles)highway test drive. Otherwise just leave it alone. I moved cars driven by some midgets, but I managed to make it work. Only once did I have to ask the 5'6" service writer to put a car on the rack for. Little old Asian lady, about 4'6". Seat was so close to the wheel, my fat thighs would not even fit. Other than that one time, I seldom moved seats. It just wasn't done.

I still have that kit molded in exactly that shade of Brown. I think it's plastic.

So, the Warren Tope Kit, and the Mach Won together should get me 85% of the way to a stock '70 Mustang?

For the Builders complaining about the stripes and the chrome, Remember this tooling is meant to portray one very specific car. And only that car. What other builders do with the kit is really of no importance to Revell Marketing. Remember that almost all TV/Movie tie in kits are boxed to only build as that vehicle, and no other. That said, I would not be surprised to see this newly revised kit released in a year or two with Chrome parts and the Strip decals. Revell went to the trouble of filling the (not very well liked) T-Tops, and tooling a flat, Base Model hood, so a 3'n'1 kit is probably already on the new release list in a year or two.

Want!

Note that the Grille and hat are a small , separate sprue together, and look to be easily swapped for a different grille, at a future date. Also, the 5 small round Driving Light/Fog Light/ Auxiliary Light lenses on the Clear tree. Good things will be coming from the tooling for years.

Thanks, Mike! But, I'll bet it is Toxic to Parrots, and my Amazon Parrot would not appreciate my bring this home. But, a great idea after he leaves.

If you have S.A.D: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder subset in which people who typically have normal mental health throughout most of the year exhibit depressive symptoms at the same time each year.It is commonly, but not always, associated with the reductions or increases in total daily sunlight hours that occur during the winter or summer. This is a great thing, to have the sun come out. My Father had S.A.D., and it got worse as he got older. I have it too, but live in Central California, so there are fewer days when it is overcast and ugly. That helps me to avoid the symptoms. Enjoy Your Sunshine!

Here is HPI Guy's video.

I had not thought of that. But, then why go to the trouble of all new tooling if you have a limited time to sell/numbers to sell?

And, the Atlantis '57 Bel-Aire will get you the Blower for a Gasser build. The engine are from similar tooling, and the parts swap is easy.

Out of Production Already!?! WT....?

Awesome Build. You have absolutely Nailed the Look! Good Show.

Or, to finally get it, but realize that your building skills are not advanced enough to do justice to the kit, so it sits, waiting for you to tackle it, "Someday"......

Hmmm.... Thanks, Mark. I've been using bar soap for 50 years. Maybe it is time for a change. Tub is a One Piece Shower/Tub insert in Fibreglass. It was installed new when the house was built in 1986. It is pretty badly used. (the house was a rental for about 5 years before we bought it as a Bank Owned Repo), so it is worn, but not yet worn out. And there is no money right for a replacement. So, I need to at least try to take better care of it. Thanks for all the advice.

My Wife has one of these, as a Christmas Decoration. It's in my Closet as we speak.

I see more and more of this too. I am surprised by how many older Modelers seem to have no clue what the part they are holding is! I get not being all that well versed on Cars but, Some folks seem to be just aware enough to know the Body from the Chassis. Oddly some of them build very nice Models, but don't know much about the subject. But, You can always learn new techniques, at least. And this seem also not to be nearly as big a problem with Armor, Naval and Aircraft Modelers. Due to level of interest in the Subject, perhaps. That said, I hear one more guy on YouTube call Horizontal Stabilators and Elevators on a Plane the "Tail Wings", I'll scream. 😂

Due to a torn Rotator Cuff, Laziness, and Fugue, I have let the Bathtub in my Bathroom get really grody. (Ugh) Now I'd like to ask for some advice on what Cleaner, I need to use on it. I can get down and scrub it, but only for 10-15 minutes at a time. It is mostly just grease and body oils, no real dirt. I'm thinking of using something like Citrisolve to cur the grease, but has anybody else got other products they'd recommend? I know this is TMI, but I need to get it done, and start getting back into my old cleaning routines. Thanks!

I've always said, "We're Grateful, They're Dead" I'm the right age to be a Fan, but I never liked them.

Cool Build, and a Great Save! Good Show.
