KANSAS HIGHWAY PATROL - 1937 to 2021 Uniforms changed very little; badges the same; door shields changed only very briefly in the early 2000s, but the outcry was so immediate and intense that they went back to the traditional badge seen here. I don't know of any other agency that has used the same door shield for virtually its entire 84 years! ??‍♂️

THAT is cool! ??

Sweet. ??

Nice work, Rich, on "re-upholstering" your seats! ??

Wow. ??

We've asked them all! See if you can stump us. It's all good. Welcome aboard the board. ??

Outstanding, Daniel! ??

Nice. ??

Mark, The old annuals had one-piece platform chassis that were attached to the bodies with screws. The screws were uniquely designed . . . unlike typical hardware store screws. They had bullet-like tips and the "threads" were spiral-like rather than typical helical screws. Unique. Designed to be easier to thread into the plastic bosses in the body, and the bullet tips pulled the chassis, bumper mounting tabs, and the radiator-wall mounted body bosses into alignment before the threads cut into the bosses. This new Cutlass kit has entirely differently designed screws that serve the same purpose; they are more conventional appearing. I found one of the old AMT chassis screws in a '60 Mercury I picked up from an estate sale. I gotta get to that Merc! I think everybody (AMT, SMP, MPC, JoHan) used them. Later on, JoHan converted to plastic taper-shaped pins, and eventually everybody abandoned them altogether in favor of flat panels for gluing. ??

And there you have it. Those in the power do not care what their customers/constituents want, they only care what is convenient for themselves and will make themselves the maximum amount of return on investment. "Let them eat cake." ??

Hey, Dwayne! Good to see your return, old friend! > BTW, are you still doing the GoodGuys show(s)? ??

I got nothing.

Good. That'll leave more for the rest of us! ??

Yeah, and just try to ask for a refund or rebate when it's time to pay the bill! ??

Send corn cobs!
