They're multiplying. So last month I picked up a silver K1500. And now, this one has come home. Not sure what I'll do with this. 1991 GMC K1500 SLE. Low km, mechanically in excellent shape. Interior needs cleaning but is dead mint. Body is pretty much gone. Both rockers, inner & outer cab corners, front fenders, pass box side, rear bumper.

Is that $27 per can?! Holy moly.

Thanks guys. Haven't had much bench time over the past week or so. Fingers crossed, more pics tonight.

Last night we watched Uppity. Documentary about Willy T Ribbs. Really well done, and kind of shocking the amount of BS he had to put up with. If you liek auto racing, I recommend this one for sure.

Although I'm not interested in this one, I am excited that a company is doing a brand new tooling of something...anything. Personally, more modern subject matter would make me happier. Would love to see a video or something on the entire process of creating a kit. From choosing the subject matter, to scanning, to molds, packaging, everything. All the behind the scenes stuff, including meetings.

As a previous owner of a 2018 Power Wagon, I approve. $180 CDN though.

Decals on #18 must have been a challenge! Awesome collection. I have a handful of the Alfa 155s to build, been looking for reasonably priced examples of the others!

Wow, that is some amazing work!

Well, if this is becoming a gear thread... Here are my triplets. The one in the middle I bought new in 1989. Now quite modified, but still plays like a dream. The one of the left is a mint condish, bone stock case queen I found about 4 years ago. The one on the right I found on Kijiji a year or so ago. It was rough, but I got it for a steal. Over the past few weeks I've been getting it back to fighting form. Repaired/replaced most of the electronics, rebuilt and blocked the bridge, installed a new nut, and reglued the fretboard, and gave it a good cleaning and setup. I've only ever seen three of these in the wild. And they're all mine! Must find more...

The BTCC is my absolute favourite racing to watch. Although I miss not seeing Plato in there, mixing it up...being Plato. As far as F1, I still like how competitive the mid-pack is now. And it's bizarre how many struggles Ferrari is having this year. Not being able to get out of Q2, being passed by a Williams, the Alfas, and the AlphaTauris?! It's weird. Would like to see another tire supplier arrive, and I think the 2022 changes and spending caps will go a long way to improving the sport. Although, other than Mercedes, it's pretty competitive across the board now.

Although I wasn't a huge fan of the Black Panther movie itself, his performance was really, really good. In fact, I think he was one of the best Avengers in terms of acting skill and presentation. If you haven't seen 42, you really need to. His performance in that movie is amazing. Such a talent. Makes you wonder how much better his performances would have been if he hadn't been fighting cancer while filming them.

My view is not quite as majestic. Was a little damp last night. But there was a rainbow.

Slow progress, as usual. Got some paint on the body last night. GM's Pewter Metallic. Thought this would go well with the interior colour. Also got a layer of flocking down. It's almost the look I was going for. Just need to touch it up a bit.

Please see link posted above. Also, please acquaint yourself with the purpose of this section.

Wifey thinks a prancing moose is stupid, but she can't be bothered to peel it off. lolz ?

I totally want this to display along with my VW Camper and Mini Cooper. Very cool kit!

Yeah, lots of cool stuff there, but not for a 2006.

Here's the decal sheet, can get to scanning the instructions in a bit if you still need them.

I wish there was more that could be done to tweak the 2.5T 5-cylinder. Wifey has an XC90, and there is really nothing to tune it with. No performance upgrades, no really suspension upgrades to speak of. I can't leave things stock, so this thing bugs me.

Exactly! Those are fantastic.

I heard this over the weekend. Kind of wish I hadn't. I love his voice, but just don't like this rendition at all. Now, his version of Led Zeppelin;s Thank You, or Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U....now those are great!

I had an X Series Rhoads that was awesome. Silver with black bevels, hardtail. Had horrible tuners though, and never stayed in tune. Should have just upgraded and kept it.

Not sure what my post or presence has to do with anything. ? If I had any issues at all or saw any issues with the term "ricer" or "rice rocket" then I would have sent this into oblivion long ago. Carry on...

If anyone is wondering, the rear bumper sticker seems to be celebrating the retirement of 73 year old Johor Bahru from the municipal council. Well that's nice.

Is that a Jackson Warrior hiding there behind the Explorer? i'm typically a Superstrat guy, and not big on pointy guitars, but those have always been on my list.
