Wow! It sure looks nice! I like the Maroon Paint. Flawless and Sharp. Good Show.

Sarc.... Well, Revell can change out Grilles and Stock Wheels to depict different years. The 5 small, round lenses that are already on the Glass Tree indicate that a Light Bar or Brush Guard with Lights has already been planned for. (and given what we now know about Revell tooling, those parts have already been tooled, and are just waiting for release sometime in the far future) I can see the Blazer going into a couple of different variations. The Real Thing used this sheet metal 1981-1991. Full Tilt Off Road Warrior, Base Model, Maybe other LEO uses. Even just a nice, Weekend 4x4, with a Gas Can and Brush Guard. Or Pair it with a trailer and some Jet Skis, or an ATV.

Did AMT ever tool up a Kenworth W900 Aerodyne? If so, I'd rather have that back, rather than the Cabover truck.

Monty, you are so correct! You do not know the half of it. Most High School Grads now are functionally illiterate. They seldom read any thing but computer or cellphone screens, and many cannot write or spell. Of course, not all are like this but many are. High School now is Day Care for Gang Bangers, with some free meals and education for the few who want to learn something thrown in as an afterthought.

Sounds Highly Plausible, given how kit tools were Mixed & Matched to yield new product to sell, back in the day. After all, it was just tooling for Kid's Toys, so what did it matter if parts of the tooling were misplaced or lost while setting up for a new run. Of course those things mattered, but having to kits to sell was the gaol at the end of the day. We have seen this exact sort of situation with other tooling from other kits. I'm not saying that is what happened to this kit. Just that Craig's Theory makes sense.

Man, what a Stunning Project. You are really a Master at Detailing! What is a rigsaver?

I thank Everyone for the Tips, as well. I have run into this myself, and been stumped on how to fix. No More Purple Pond.... Thank You.

Very Sharp Builds! I really like the wheels on the Ford, and the paint is perfect on both. Good Show.

I just saw it. It is a Great Build! Neat little Drag Racer!

For a Snapper, you did a fantastic job! That looks great, especially in that Colour!

The newest Revell '39 Chevy has the Beer Barrels from the Beer Wagon.

1979 was the last Year for the Straight Six.

Well, Now We know. Flat Hood, No T-Tops, otherwise it's the old 1/24 Monogram Camaro. But, that's a Pretty good Kit, so I'm pleased.

As far as , I know, there was never a pan for the Tranny. Just the shape.

Hakan, I find the site I linked, to be interesting, but some of his other videos have been less than accurate. I think he copies what some other folks have said on the internet, and may not do as much research as he might need to do. But, he is fun and Cheerful, and digs up some neat pics.

I think all of the AMT Chevy Vans have those wipers! and, IMHO that has to be one of the weakest looking of any of the 3 or 4 Custom Vans that AMT offered. Side Pipes, Mags, Wide Tires, and some really poor graphics even by the standards of the day. Oh, and a Porthole..... But, we were talking about Old Kits, we'd like to see. On the Subject of Ford Vans, I am surprised no one has mentioned what I think of as the Crown Jewel of all van conversions. And, Its a Ford! Scalemates says it came out in 1978, which seems about right to me. It is on the downswing of the Van Era, but still a nice kit. Give It some other options from other kits, Mix & Match style and you could have a whole new kit. I say the Matilda Van would be my Parts donor. That Hemisphere Moon Roof, and the Round Headlight Grille and those wheels would make a nice conversion. WE know the Ford Van tooling is in use, last seen in Surf and Coke liveries. Why not offer the 6-by in 1975 Trim, Give us the Matilda Roooof / Parts, and throw in the Surf Boards and Motor Scooter and you'd have a Great Kit! Matilda Van

Neat. Glad to see it back on the Bench.

I like it! The Tu-Tone Green works well. Good Show.

That looks Great, Stu! My Dad had a '61, and that's how his looked about 20 years ago. You really got it right. Good Show.

Ts42 Light Gunmetal, and TS17 Aluminum are the Two I was referring to. Thank You, Matt. I'll order the TS17. https://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/tam-ts17.htm

That is a great GTO, Carl! The Purple is a very good choice for the car. Your Build is clean and sharp. Very Nice Build. Good Show.

Fabulous Build! I love T-Buckets and yours is one of the best. The Olds Rocket powerplant is an inspired choice. Good Show.

What a great Trio of Model A Builds. The Coupe/Pickup kit Bash really works well, but all are Fantastic Builds. Good Show.

Wow! I'd forgotten about that car. Great Build! Good Show.
