    I saw that title and thought we were in for an incredibly wild Jeep XJ build! Still, I can get behind any XJ project. I still miss my old 93 Sport.

    I use Tamiya's Rubber Black. It's available in both jars and as a spray. Looks pretty good to me.

    I prefer an engine, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. I'll buy curbsides and full details. Once it's built, I almost never go under the hood or look at the chassis, so it doesn't really bother me if there isn't much to look at.

    Porsche did something similar on the 968. The tail lights appeared all red, but the turn signals flashed orange and the reverse lights were mostly clear. Coloured bulbs? Or German magic? Hmmm...

    I've actually converted a few of my Jeeps to the Euro-style lights over the years. Amber turns just made more sense to me. Maybe it's just what I was used to, as I worked with VW and Porsche for many years, right out of high school. And the amber turn signals were just what I was used to. 93 Cherokee - amber turns in the tail lights, and side markers in the front fender. Did my 05 TJ Sport as well, but I'll be darned if I can find any pics of it. Weird.

    Man, I need to get back to my build.

    Stunning work!

    Are you looking at making wheels and offering them for sale? Or are you making files for 3d printing? Anyway, there are two I'm on the hunt for right now. First are the factory hubcaps for an AMC Matador. Second are the wheels for a new Ford F150 Lightning.

    Found this one cheap, cheap at a garage sale. Complete, still bagged, decals look brand new, not yellowed or faded at all.

    Excellent work so far!

    Welcome aboard, from the province next door! Looking forward to seeing you build that one. The type of truck I'm very familiar with on the roads around here.

    This intersection has its own YouTube channel. So many red light runners. https://www.youtube.com/@friantroulette

    Not enough. I might get in an hour a couple of times a week.

    Right, because it's the cops damaging all of these cars. Never has anything to do with the people who decide to run and cause accidents with the police cars. Or the twits who think it's cool to vandalize police cars. And these cars live a hard life. Powertrain failures don't surprise me at all. I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often. But no, let's blame the policemen themselves. They obviously think it's great fun to destroy the cars. ?

    Brand doesn't matter to me. The subject is far more important. But I do like how easily a Tamiya kit goes together.

    That's on my list too! I have a 1999 Tahoe LT that is now officially off the road and is my official project. When I start removing the front clip to repair some damage, I'll be doing hinge pins too. On a related note, If you want to trade the passenger side front fender for a pile of model kits, let me know. ? lolz That's the right colour I need, and I'm having a bugger of a time finding a fender that isn't rusted right out.

    This is excellent! I have a hard enough time finding room for 1/24 scale trucks, let alone a 1/8 scale! And now I want one.

    Actually...last October. I was in England for a few weeks and went to the MG 100th anniversary show at the Beaulieu Motor Museum and there was one there. If I recall, it was green. I'm sure I have a pic of it on the computer at home.
  19. iamsuperdan
    Yeah, we drive down every year for the show. And there are always cars that weren't there the previous year. Keeps it different, which I like. And when was the last time you saw two Countach together? I'm not sure I have!
  20. iamsuperdan
    Then they always have a section for tuner and "other" vehicles.

    Every July the Calgary Vintage European Car Club (or whatever the official name is) hosts their annual show. Weather is always hot and sunny. Lots of beautiful things to see. Arguable, the rarest and coolest car there. And he didn't clean it. And because the normal Mini is just too darn big...
  24. iamsuperdan
    That orange Road Runner would do me just fine.

    I really like this. Long time VW owner/fan, and have wanted a Mk2 Scirocco for ages. If you do decide to sell the files for printing, I'd be interested.
