I have some for ya. Just need to dig out the folder they are in. I'll post a picture later this evening of what I have, you tell me which ones you want. and the sign magnet is the way to go.

email the guy helping to restore it? https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/mike-sullivan-altered.1265169/

They did..... Its 5-10 minutes down Ford Rd to Westland from Dearborn. Are you expecting one at the end of your block?

sorry for the size of the picture....

At the March '24 show, I picked up a card for the November '24 show. Show date November 17th... today I saw an edited card online showing the date as November 10th.. Was the show date moved? Was the edited version legit? sure would hate to miss this show by a week....

Thanks for the help, guys! those pictures was truly worth a thousand words

Mark, There are 2 blocks with holes for the pins, I will take a closer look at installing from the inside this evening. I'm so close to wrapping this one up.. I built this kit back in the 80's and don't remember having any issues with the tailgate.

Hi All, I'm to the point of putting the tailgate on the Jeep, the instructions are no help in this area? anyone have a picture of how the hinge pieces affix to the body? I'm stumped.... Thanks, Chris

I have a set, DM me your address and i'll get them out to you.

Back in the 80's when I was a bar hoppin' weed smokin' Pootang chasin' wrench turner, i thought I was done building and only wanted to build 1:1 stuff so... I donated all my kits, parts and tools to a "Make A Wish" child that really loved models. I have never regretted it, because I able to help make a dying kid happy for his last days. I'm currently sitting on a couple hundred kits since getting back into the hobby in the 90's. Told the wife that my kids and grandkids get first pick of the stash when I pass, the rest go to "Make A Wish"

Rockettman, I need a hood, if you have an extra one?

ACE hardware stocks it too.

Modelers helping modelers, i'd buy you a beer if you were closer....

if they still have them, I can get you one for $12.99 + shipping

how about actually walking into the store?

No way this thing can be built stock. Says shortened body right on the box. Does say build 1 of 4 ways. Drag, Street, Dune Beetle, or Open Dune Buggy.

I bought the Nova wagon and VW gasser there last week?

I posted the flyer on Reddit, r/model cars to help spread the word.

Thanks Guys! I'll have to Shoot John an email and do a curbside pick up, he isn't open to the public yet, I rode out there last weekend and tugged on the door. I did pick up some MM "Chevrolet Engine Red" that looks close. I'll have to spray up some spoons with the MM, Tamiya, and the Mr. Color and take them out to the USCG station on Belle Isle and compare them to the 1:1 chopper. I'm building a Trumpeter HH-65A Dolphin Helicopter to get me over some automotive funk i've been in. Edit: and I Know plenty of people that have never been on a plane (whatever that was supposed to mean?)

Does anyone know where I can score some Mr. Color #68 "Red Madder" in the Detroit area? or a shade that is close? Thanks

I use panty hose. Cut into 2" x 2" squares. Get the plus size and it will last you a while. no cleaning it either, strain and throw in the garbage.

I still use the good 'ole X-Acto. I have different color masking tape around the bottom of the handle to identify which is which. and to stop them from rolling, I leveled my hobby table...

I didn't even know John Candy was a modeler? I was at the '74 Detroit Autorama, good times....

Another vote for the H, I've used the single action H so long, I cant get used to the VL double action. I have both and reach for the H every time.
