34 Ford Pickup

Nice! And a bit more work on the truck! The one pic of the interior shot I took turned out darker than expected 😕 -
I ordered another rack for my bigger Tamiya paint bottles, will be assembling it this next week and start laying the colors out instead of scanning in the mix and match mess I have now.

Here are the pictures I promised and some more work as well. The blue is Race Blue by Tamiya, and the Tan is Sand Tan (I think is the name) by Tamiya. -
So went to my local hobby shop, had a nice chat with the owner. I get to support him until March 2026, so will look to spend something each payday there, be it supplies or a kit. So without further ado... I had the wife with me while I was out and about, and this haul was from today and I blew the budget so far out of the water, I only got a dirty look from the wife, but I didn't get murdered lol. I had plan on spending about 200ish, but was closer to 300 lol.

So everything new is mo better, huh?
meechum68 replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
THIS!!! ^^^ I always put my name on things I do, because if I do something and it's wrong or breaks, I will figure out why on both accounts. I try and teach our new guys this, and they don't care, they don't understand it. 1000000000000000000000000x facts!!! Exactly! Too many go the easy route! I hear this adnauseum at work all the time, and I fire back with.. was it there sweat or blood that did this? And they go no, and I follow with.. why are they getting my money this will make. The uppers shut up then because they know I will grill them to the ground. -

Quality always takes the hike when you get the idiots from Accounting involved, I know this first hand in my industry. We could have things lighter and safer but the idiot bean counters say nope, cuz it's not fiscally wise,yet neither is employees in the hospitals for cuts, hernia's, back issues, etc. Cheap parts = win for accounting regardless of industry, they care only to give the "shareholders" a big fuzzy happy set of news. -
For me I do have a 1/12 I want to build so would be ok, and depending on the time frame. I may be interested.

I love this little altered! Not powered by the typical engines we think of. Very nice work!
