Shopping psychology ('splain this to me, Lucy)

The last time I was in Lowe's (2 years ago) they were down to ONE cashier and the rest were self checkout. They were in the process of putting everything else under lock and key. Now I shop mainly at Ace Hardware or buy what I need online if I can wait. -
I believe it was a VCG Resins piece. Thanks. I have some window handles and arm rests from ESS Resinworks. No part pictures of the window handles, they are hard to see. I had to relieve part of the bed do the 4-link and coilovers had clearance. The bed cover hides everything anyway.

I went to my girlfriend's in Miller Place, more snow out that way. We cooked and watched TV.

I'm out east a bit... snowing 🌨...

I jumped into this a couple weeks back. I'm using the AMT '60 Ford pickup and the Foose '53-ish truck kit. I'm also using a '57 conversion from Texas 3D. The hood needs work, but he is remastering it. A lot of slice & dice work with all the woes along the way. I added the rear 4-link and have a bed interference. The bed is shortened 22 scale inches. I made the bed floor from diamond plate stock. Gas tank is a Norm Veber item. Wheels & tires from VCG Resins. The interior is done, less arm rests and window handles.

I make up a lot of my own parts too. Really the way to go with Frankenstein projects.

I have a few RB Motion parts, not enough to make anything good. I think he is still in business but hard to contact. I got a 3D Stock Car kit missing a bar, I made my own from .062" aluminum tube and a Ron Coon Resins rod end. He has a couple types that are handy for panned bars, etc. I think that some 3D parts have stresses locked into them. I had a big chunk bust off a modified chassis and land across the room. Took me 2 days to find it.

Hydrogen peroxide is chemically strong stuff, use it initially. I like Bactine going forward with cuts and scrapes. Best thing initially, warm soap and water, make it bleed if possible. -
31 with possible snow ❄️...

Sharp trick to slant the A pillar cuts and cut out the rear including the cat walk. I reinforce my splices using fiberglass fingernail wraps. Much thinner and thin CA glue holds it well.
-
Good tip on using aluminum to replace the 3D parts. I'll keep that in mind. Some of those parts are very fragile.

Very nice builds. The Indy-ish car was in the OWC class that I won 1st place. There is another show there in March in late March, the 28th I believe. Put on by the LISM club which is mostly military.
-
Post your award winning builds when you get a chance. Again. I wasn't able to get around to see too much.

I'm in... is that an Iceman chassis? Can't get much lower than that. I have a '60 Ford truck going with a Foose truck chassis under it. I'll start a thread later today.
