Awesome Build! You nailed the weathering!

My wife wants to move to Dog River, (aka Rouleau) Sask. She likes the show so much that we now have a Copy of the Ruby sign in our Great Room. WE even started started watching the CFL Grey Cup games. So, the family is trending North.

Update II The temporary Election Job with County that I started Jan 30 is done. We finished the phone bank on Tuesday March 19, when the Special Election for California's 20th Congressional District was held. This was only a short term job, paying minimum wage ($16.00 per hr) only until the election was held. I learned more about elections and ballots than I ever wanted to know. Fascinating stuff, however. I suspect, that if you call the Elections Division of your local county, you can sign up to be an observer. It is worth the trouble to watch the actual process of an election working. There are many,many more moving parts than most folks imagine, and more activity than you can believe. It is worth it to learn and watch. Got hired to start a new, permanent job, April First. (not a joke). Industrial Concrete Company, doing Concrete Cutting for Cal-Trans, Fed-Gov and BNSF Railroad.

I think You are correct. It is an odd mix of Custom Parts.

Great Build! The Colour Combo of Woodgrain and Yellow pops. Did you start with the MPC Woody/Pickup Kit?

Lei, PM sent. Thanks!

Thanks, Ace. Plenty of reading there, for fixing Chrome Head;ight. I'll be busy later.

I'd Use the OHC-6 Myself, factory stock or not. It would look Killer, and you would have the only one! But, that is just me.

I need one set of South Carolina Decals. Want to know which decal sheets I should be on the look out for. Thanks!

I plan on using one from either the Fuzz Duster Plymouth or the Turtle Wax Van.

Again, Thank You, Tim! I'd be using the Grille and bumpers in the box. I rather fancy their looks, really. But, I'm working on a pair of the New Round2 60/63 Ford Pickups, and my Baja Beast Long Bed Dodge 4x4 race truck, so any Merc projects will have to wait a while. I really like the colours HPI Guy chose for his build too. And that Over Size Parachute Pack will make a great load for a trailer or pickup bed when suitably painted.

Tim B. Thanks for the info. If I ever Build the kit, it would be OOB with the Kit tires, so It would be as close to stock as the box contents are. It is nice to have the stock wheel covers back, though.

And, That Big Boxy looking thing he asked about? That is the last remaing bit of the "Put On" overscale parts from the 1970 version. It is a parachute pack.

Great Build of Pappy's Bent Wing Bird.

Nice Find.

So, Nobody has any idea about this Air Cleaner?

Would the Fireball Modelwerks Resin tube bumpers for the First Gen Ford Bronco Fit? Or could they be made to fit, without too much work? I'd guess the dimensions are close.

Amen, Mark! You said it much better than I could. Thank You!

So what would you call him?????

Yeah, Revell is getting a whole lot of mileage out of that set of Wheel Tooling. I don't really care for those wheels and think that they look dated now, even though they are not really that old. But, it is easy enough to find other wheels.

The Late Bob Paeth told me that he and Mr. Keeler worked on several kits together. I don't remember which ones. But, Mr. Keeler was most certainly involved with some well known 1960's Revell Kits.

Good Luck on your Build. There is a fairly nice 289 in the '66 Mustang Fastback kit, and the AMT Shelby Cobra. Those are my Go-to kits for 289 engines.

Maybe so. If that is what it is supposed to be in is not up to MPC's usual standards of Engraving and Tooling......

I want this one back! I hope Round2 is planning on brining it back someday.
