rattle can man

I'm not worried about prices for myself. But I do wonder about the future of the hobby. My stash is bigger than any LHS or chain hobby shop I've ever been in. The only thing I will need for the rest of my life are supplies like glue, paint, occasional aftermarket parts, etc.

I just thought it was interesting. I thought maybe it could inspire a build for someone.

Posting a picture of the decal side is pretty useless, as the white doesn't show up in the picture I took. I've never seen a decal sheet with paint mixing instructions before.

After looking at that interior picture, It does appear to have been a stand=up while driving set-up.

last weekend near Clinton. MO fender badge says it is an F-5. No evidence there was a seat, but then again the floor was rusted tread/ diamond plate instead of original steel.

ditto all of the above. I bought some alligator clips mounted on bamboo sticks from HL. If you are pinning a part, you could drill it for the pin, glue in a longer length of wire and use something to hold the wire.

I would say it is your choice, since it is not a stock build. What looks right to you? Do you have a specific build style/ time period you are looking for? In the real world, enlarging the rear wheel openings would be beneficial when changing wheels/ tires, but it could also result in ruining the flow of the body lines.

I have a set of Sears decals I stumbled on going through my stash. They are from an AMT truck kit, but older than the NASCAR trucks. numbers on the back are 5902701 and DH1026 73 30M. It includes a list of Testors colors used to mix the old sears green. Any ideas what kit it is from? I'm guessing a big-rig and trailer combo, possibly 1/43?

Tracking shows my package arrived at the Chicago distribution center on both Sunday and Monday. It arrived in KC Tuesday and again today.

Something similar might be on Cults 3d if I remember correctly.

They are supposed to be big & littles, just like in the '70s

Glad it is sorted. looking forward to seeing it completed.

this past weekend Saw 4 stripe yellow lines (double double yellow lines) dividing the lanes of traffic in MO. It split for turn lanes then went back to quad yellows. Anyone familiar with the why of it?

I doubt this would be possible in 100 years with what is a new car now. the tech will never hold up.

They usually have what I want, its better quality, and their staff know their stuff. I was tired of the plastic hardware to hang the bar in my closet to hang clothes on breaking. the only place that had metal ones was the smaller store. They also are the only place in town to get small diameter wire (music wire) for pinning parts, making axles, etc.

The reason I suggested a smaller store is that my local non-big-box stores are able to check the thread pitch, size, etc., whereas the big name stores don't. And they have a bigger selection of loose, unpackaged fasteners you can actually compare to what you have without opening a package.

I once got a telephone bill for 3 cents. It cost them 15 cents to mail it.

Are the screws self-tapping, or do they screw into threaded holes or nuts? If self tapping, perhaps a self-tapping wood screw? You could try a non-big box hardware store (like Ace, Tru-value or local owned) since their staff usually is more knowledgeable. Model RR websites are another option, for both hardware and bulbs.

Adaptive cruise/ smart braking. On a road trip this weekend, I pulled out to make a pass on a 2 lane road. guy ahead doing 10-20 below posted for miles. long passing zone no traffic. My car starts to accelerate then suddenly slows to match his 20 under. near the end of the passing lane the car decides to go, and I just get over before the top of a hill. I don't like that automatic stuff. And to turn it off, every time you start the car you have to navigate through 4 screens.

local Ollie's only had Nike missiles and planes.

I'm sorry, but no luck

Facing the good ol' "Your package is out for delivery" and "your package is being held for pick-up" messages 1 min apart. Not delivered and not being held (supposedly)

Have to agree. If you get what you ordered it is either junk or does not fit. I bought brand new everything (drums, shoes, hardware, and bearings_ to rebuild the all original rear brakes on my Ford Festiva. Compressed the cylinder all of the way and still can't get the drum on. I guess it's modification time.
