I use McCormick Chili mix. You can get hot or mild. Your taste for that pick. 1 to 3 pounds of beef, Tri blend of beans if making a large batch 1 can or dark, light and black beans. For every pound of beef, I use i can of beans. I blended onion, 1 can of diced and 1 can of puree tomatoes. 2 or 3 Hungarian hot peppers per pound of meat, with seeds and a lot of the membrane removed, but not all. finely chopped or blended along with the onion. A Hotter pepper if you like it hot.
TJ have you ever tried chili poured over pasta or flat egg noodles? They call it chili mac here.

I agree with Greg. Epoxy is the better option.

A note of caution: you may find a huge variance between what you think the collection is worth and what someone is willing to offer.
Yes, they will give you a flat rate for your inventory. 2 bucks was the going rate for years from what I was told. Not sure what the current rate is. Make sure you have a good list of what you have before you contact anyone. They will need to know how many are sealed. If you have a lot of older kits you might want to sell those separate.

Great save. looks very cool.

This is awesome Greg. I am glad it all went well for you.

Okay, thanks. I visit the store and see what I can find out.
My local store does not have the models on sale this upcoming week.

I don’t know what else is in the kit but if it doesn’t have a phone booth I believe I will pass. No phone booth makes it the same as the little red wagon…
Except it will be molded in white I would guess.

What model of airbrush is it? If it’s a good to high quality one, you could try to save it. There is CA debonder available for starters. If it’s a real cheapie, chuck it. JMO🤔.
I agree with this. If the cost of the air brush is less than the acetone and or debonder, let it fly.

This is nice work. Makes me want to look for one to add to the stash.

I guess I could...I just have this big tote laying around. It's clear and measures like 36" x30" x 24" deep. I thought it would make a cool booth. I have a 30" LED light for it and just need some 4" dryer hose, 4" 130 cfm fan, furnace filters and a plastic plenum to make it work.
Well, you already have the tote. I must have missed that point. You are on the right path already. good luck with a fan.

Barry why not just use some 1/4 underlayment for your sides. Go down to the closest lumberyard and grab a piece up. Just cut to the size you need and put hinges on it if you need it to fold up.

Thanks for the info.

Is there a hood and new front that would make this body a 70 Lemans t-37 ? I know this is a big wish. The 70 GTO's are a bit pricey to cut up.

Very cool. Wood looks great and the right color choice.

Beryllium copper (BECU) is the name of the metal that was used for molds back in the day. This metal is great for heat sink and cools the plastic faster than Steel of Aluminum. BECU also has a high wear resistance compared to Aluminum. That is how the molds from those 60's kits are still in use because they were not made of Aluminum. It has been written in Scale magazines than the 1915 (Or whatever year that rare kit is) Chevy was made from Aluminum because they only needed a few kits and not 1,000's of them. When they were done with that run the molds were junk.

Yes, thank you for posting. Very nice work.

A few questions Barry.
What years would this cab be used for. I think you said 53 to 66 A good range of years for truck builders.
Was the same frame used for this truck and other model numbers? So if they built a different model could they use the same frame for a different truck with little change. Just a new cab and tires and wheels
How many different models from Mack used the same parts? Frame and Cab just a different nose maybe.
Give them examples of what the truck would be used for other than over the road tractors.

Very cool.
