You could probably "fake" it with some thin strips punched with holes and glued to the frame and creative painting

Swiss cheese Catalina. Look them up.

Totally agree. As a motorcyclists, I feel they should adhere to the same traffic laws I do, and be lumped in with sub-50cc scooters as far as licensing and insurance.

Cool old service truck build, I like the vise on the rear bumper, looks like a wilton bullet. Was that cast with the kit or an extra? Great job on the weathering .

Nice work on this COE. The creeper's van is one of the best parts of the first movie.

Nice work Micheal. Unassuming until you open the hood,just like you planned. Those rear tires are gonna have a hard time with that big block.👍👍

Don't tell Lars.

Glue some appropriate thickness styrene to fill the gap and file, sand and fill till it's correct. You MAY have to work the whole perimeter a bit to get the fitment corrected. Little at a time, keep checking things.

Ticks. I seem to be a magnet for them the past few days.

I was surprised to learn that at one time they were domesticated, and we basically abandoned them.

Where's Ridley Scott?

Only if it comes down to it, Bill. That had me laughing.

Mom is just off screen on the left. You can see a glimpse of her right as the video starts on the left. The bird feeders are gonna come down for a bit I'm thinking.

Great style with this one,Tim. The hitch is a nice touch.

Awesome looking truck, that thing is LOW. The Lincoln grille looks 👍 👍

I agree. I've sourced a few tools for the model bench, a small combination square, that scriber, and a set of adjustable parallels have migrated there. And an old 1/2 inch gauge block I use as a square. I've found a cheap scribe online,but it's the pencil style and longer. While It would except the pcb drills, it would probably be awkward to use.

I've got a similar index, mine is a hout. I like to use both,depending on what I'm doing. That's a nice set,mine is the stack style. A little fiddley at times.

I'm a welder/fabricator by trade, I have a bunch of starrett tools I use daily, and I collect their older stuff. Most of my collection, and some of my modeling tools, come from swap meets and flea markets. Beats paying retail, paid a dollar for this scriber. I still need to clean it up, but it's in great condition. I'm going to check the big box stores to see if they have similar that's more readily available and affordable.

I've seen the abuse they can take,a good friend owns nothing but subaru. If they hold up to his abuse, they gotta be good. 380k is serious mileage.

I don't blame you one bit, that's looking great man.
