GMC Mason Dump
Jon Cole replied to Warren D's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That looks like it waits on the dealer lot for delivery. Ready to go. -
Tomo, that... is a superb collection! ??

Not everyone deals with Ebay. I try to avoid that nightmare.

Bye-bye dog leg door hinges. What glue to attach doors to body?
Jon Cole replied to Jon Cole's topic in Diecast Corner
-
I cut the dog leg door and hood hinges off a Testors Dodge Charger R/T Daytona diecast, way back when. Then it got tossed in the "maybe someday" pile. Now I want to finish it, and glue the body panels shut. I am not messing with the paint. Not stripping the paint. Anyone ever do this before? Glue diecast to diecast? What is the best glue? EDIT: The hinges are long gone. Looking to glue panels shut.

That's actually a cool build! All black- aftermarket rims- aggressive stance. What's not to love?

1917 Ford Model T Express Truck
Jon Cole replied to Bobchayer's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I like it! For obvious reasons, and then some. -
1962 "Thunderchero"
Jon Cole replied to RancheroSteve's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Awesome conversion, Steve! Everything works, proportionally. -
Time limit? I just posted something five minutes ago. I want to delete it, but I cannot. Is there another way?

Maybe Chad is stuck on that Coronavirus Cruise Line.

Speaking of Round2, still waiting on Chads video of March releases. If...there is to be any. With this whole virus issue, I'm not sure what the future shipping status is.

Anyone Use Revell Whitewall Decals?
Jon Cole replied to Plowboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have used tire decals on numerous Nascar racers, and goldwalls on a Chaparral. But no whitewalls from a water slide decal. Joe Wheat used to (still?) sell die-cut whitewalls stamped on 3M labels. I have had them on models for decades. -
Perhaps the "Molded in the USA" branding also means packaged in the USA; thus possibly avoiding the anticipated shipping delays of other kits due to coronavirus manpower shortages in China?

Resin body slowly dying!!
Jon Cole replied to Lorne's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It is a shame, indeed. However, if you have photos of it, and clearly, you do- than you will always have it. What is amazing, mostly for never realizing it before, is that like us, the resin sags with age. Another however- each batch of resin may differ, so it is indeed possible that not all resin will "die". -
What a way to get fired
Jon Cole replied to Mike 1017's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That UAW strike they had last year didn't exactly help to move production along. But you're right. At this point, they should be licensed as 2021's. I'm guessing, however, that is not possible, as the vin's were probably stamped before the car was actually built. I would think that would place it before the strike? At least on the early runs. But I don't have any carved-in-stone fact on that.
