Doing a great job on this so far! I think my one beef with this kit (not your build, but the kit in general) is that the tires seem too big. Every build I've seen has the car sitting really high. When I get to mine, I'll be changing the rubber for something a little lower profile. Even if it's not 100% accurate, it will maker it look better in my eyes.

Another Dan from Edmonton, eh? Cool! Build's looking good so far.

Very busy front end, but overall, this is a really good looking car. I like the "flying" roof design, with the somewhat invisible A-pillar. I see a few things that would have to be changed for production, but if they can stay close to this, that would be great.

I too will pick up a Supra. I'm a big fan of this generation. I have a very used kit that I've acquired. May or may not be complete. Would be great to have another.

No lock here. Yet. Must every thread devolve into arguments or snide comments? Maybe next time, just stop, think a little, and don't post about other builders or other members. Comment on builds, not the builders. Some people are just so quick to anger. Calm down, relax a little.

Great looking build!

Well it's strange. X-rays done. No visible damage. A little swelling, but everything is still attached, and everything is exactly where it's supposed to be. So they figure I twisted and pulled something. Whatever happened, it seems to have resolved itself. I've been doing some exercises on it with one of those tension bands. Building strength, getting the joint moving. I went back to volleyball last night, and all was fine. Admitted, I took it easier that usual, but it was good.

I agree. I've been less than satisfied with m y body prints, but wheels & tires and engine parts turn out perfectly. I've recently printed a body kit for a build, and it turned out mostly good. But the rear spoiler curled. It's practically a U now. THe details are great, but I guess when it dried and cured, it started to curl. Anyone have thoughts on how to stop that?

Went camping for the weekend. Had no rain, no cell coverage, and no internet.

On a related note, I'll be taking some detail pics of Broncos here at the dealership. I have a Bronco 2-door here now. First one we've had with the manual transmission. If anyone wants any specific pics, let me know.

Stopped by a buddy's shop today to drop off our e-Transit van for some graphics. As always, he had a couple of interesting things in for some work. The shop does normal mechanical repairs, but also does full on customization and restoration on anything, plus graphics & wraps, plus detailing, plus classic vehicle sales. I enjoy visiting.

I remember him best as the main character, Tommy Vercetti, in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I've never been much of a gamer, but I loved that one, and played it a ton back in the day.

That green one is super tasty. But the Doka. Oh my. Want.

My new truck has a firm build date now. And for those hearing all the doom and gloom about vehicle supply, note that I placed this order on April 27, it is building June 11, so should arrive here in Canada by the end of June. So roughly 9 - 10 weeks for arrival. That's what delivery times were like when things were normal.

Messed up my right knee doing yardwork on the weekend. Can hardly walk. Feels like it's under pressure, yet there is no swelling. Also feels like something is moving. And there is definitely something making noise in there. It's like a box of Rice Krispies. So it's off to the doc this afternoon, see if we can figure this out.

Also, if one didn't want to wait for the official release...with a little help from the aftermarket....

Yeah, like those goofy rat rods this is "art" and an attention getter, but I just can't wrap my head around why someone would spend their time and/or money and/or parts to get this pile of scrap metal moving again. To each their own I guess.

Would just like to remind everyone that personal attacks on this board will not be tolerated. So after cleaning up two pages of nonsense, and sending people to the penalty box for a while, we can get back to our minor inconveniences. Irks, if you will. Carry on.

If they produce it with an open space there, it could be cool for a V8 or something else suitable bonkers. Regardless, I'll be picking up one for sure.

Whoops! You are correct. "Expect to see the Charger R/T kit late this year with more variations to be announced later."

I'll be buying one for sure. And being curbside doesn't bother me at all. Does anyone really want to build an engine that looks like this? lolz

I saw a post about this somewhere. Maybe Revell's IG account? Anyway, it mentioned that this would be the first of several iterations. So it sounds like an R/T first, and a Hellcat will follow.

I'm a firm believer in the idea of saving a car instead of scrapping it, but I don't understand why anyone would bother with this one. There does come a point when restoring or rebuilding doesn't make sense. I mean, maybe if this car had some sort of strong sentimental value for the guy, but it doesn't appear so.

Realistically, these won't be on the road for another two or three years. Plenty of time for battery tech, charging tech, and infrastructure to improve and make these things more feasible for daily use. *puts on flame suit* Really though, people need to get used to the idea of EV. It's coming, like it or not. Production of ICE vehicles WILL end within the next 10 years. People don't need to be so fearful of change. EVs are not perfect right now, far from it. But they're good, and they're getting better. And no one is banning ICE. All the vehicles on the road now can still be on the road when new vehicle sales are stopped. And gas stations aren't going away yet. Of course, I guess by the time ICE is gone and EV is the only new vehicle option, most of the biggest critics will also be gone, so there's that.

As someone who has been in the auto industry for 30 years, and who ran the leasing division for a major Canadian fleet management company for 12 of those, I have some experience with a lot of different brands: in how they drive, how they break, how they need maintenance, and how much bang for the buck you would get. I'm avoiding trucks, because you said you didn;t want another one. I'm avoiding cars, as your situations tells me you need a little more ground clearance, and something more durable. My suggestions in no particular order: 1. Jeep Wrangler Unlimted - but only get a Sahara (with the tire upgrade,) Mojave, or Rubicon. Stay away from the diesel and the 4 cylinder Turbo. Avoid the retractable soft top roof. 2. Subaru Outback - most Subaru dealers are doing 2" lift kits with tire upgrades. The whole overland scene, you know. The 4 cylinder is good, the V6 is better. Go with the lower trim level, as you'll still get a lot of equipment, with all the fluff. 3. Chev Tahoe / GMC Yukon - 2015 to 2020 - personally, I'd go for a Tahoe LT with the Z71 package. Make sure it has the factory Goodyear Duratrac tires. 4. Toyota - anything. Unless you're 6'6" like me, then avoid the Toyotas. 5. Nissan Frontier - as good as a Toyota, without the Toyota attitude.
