Yes, I know it's supposed to have the mags. I was wondering if the chrome tree I have is the stock wheel tree or not correct at all for the kit.

Since we're talking about this kit, mine doesn't have the mag wheels in it. I assumed someone took that chrome tree and replaced it with the tree that has the stock wheels. Is that correct or is this just some random chrome tree thrown in?

Took this picture at a red light.

I see someone moved this for you.

This is not the "wanted" section. You have a thread in the "wanted" section for this part. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/201261-a-chevy-duality-cowl-hood-from-mine-a-snap-kit-snap-kit/

Many of our "handbrakes" are operated by foot.

I've moved the van to a more convenient "it's still not going anywhere for a while" parking spot. It fit with two inches to spare.

Yep, good as new.

There's a guy in Pakistan that will weld that sucker up good as new.

There's also old style/new style taillights, I don't know the year of the change. The AMT kit is the older body so it doesn’t have the character line which is just above the rear wheel opening and stops just before the front wheel opening on the van pictured. When the character line was added the vans didn't carry it to the front doors at first. I would imagine there were different bumpers too.

I must be a hillbilly, because I like them both.

I wanted to fix the a/c on my work truck, but I felt guilty doing it when my wife's better truck a/c wasn't working. So I fixed her a/c last Saturday, new accumulator and orifice tube and a junkyard compressor. It's ice cold again. Mine I diagnosed as a bad compressor clutch, so I picked up another junkyard compressor this morning and I just now finished swapping the clutch from it onto my truck. I was really looking forward to finally having a/c again, but unfortunately the drivers side is stuck on heat. I'll have to pick up the motor that operates that door. The compressor comes on now though and the passenger side was blowing at 60. I figure it's that warm because the drivers side stuck on heat.

The GM G series vans have excellent hinges. I've never seen one that the doors don't operate properly. The doors on mine, all six, still open and close like brand new.

Yea, never saw the show but used to play the games. It's been a while so I don't remember the other cars but do remember the ice cream truck.

The battery is safer towards the windshield. It would be more likely to be ruptured in an accident at the core support.

Not what I would expect to hear from a guy called "the junkman".

Happy Father's day to me.

There were certain areas where you would see them quite often.

Here's a picture of the hood he's looking for:

Since it's very hot out and the A/C doesn't work, I finally decided to change the passenger side window motor on the old work truck. It would go down about a third, but a few weeks ago it quit completely. I've done plenty of window motors before but this one was more of a pain than usual. Mostly because the included bolts interfere with the mounting and operation of the regulator. First I had to grind the heads mostly off two of the three motor mounting bolts so the regulator would even move. Then I had to clearance grind two of those on the nut side to get the regulator to sit properly. But it works now.

They have at least some of the pickup tooling in the form of the USA-1 monster truck.

My Testors issue of the AMX measures 6 7/8 inches front to back.
