    Some JoHan tooling is not owned by Okey.........some of what we looked at was a 3rd party and a few were owned by Okey. I don't think this is a secret in the industry.......

    True Dave. But lookers and no buyers never a good sign. Doubt any transferable licensing either. Bummer. TD thing is mess too. Hope y’all good btw

  2. People have looked at what’s there. Incomplete, and my guess is pricing similar to a rotting pile of cars that owner saw Mecum sales, figured same for his. No offense to Okie, but things don’t appreciate well if not useful. 
    Four-door versions of very dead brands not excitement builders. 30yo builders barely were exposed to Pontiac, AMC, Plymouth, or Olds at all. 
    A 3D printed interior for a 66yo kit that isn’t really available, is not going to do much. 
    68 DeVille, Hearse/Ambulance, AMX, 69 RR, Superbird, all would be first picks over a 4 door anything. I don’t see a business plan out of this, haven’t ever seen one in decades. JH remains are not a retirement goldmine.

    Had the Daimler-Chrysler (the Chrysler is silent) V6.

    "What's 16:00? Is that military time?"

    Seriously? 24hr. 1600 is 4:00PM

    Most of world uses it. Since world smaller, I use GMT too, time zone far easier to keep track of business or friends across many time zones. 
    Computers use it, and no confusion about am or pm. Great for documenting too.

  5. Yeah. I just was referring to stepside. I’ve got a couple Sierra Grande’s in pile. Neat trucks. Like 71-2 GMC better than same yr Chevy. 
    Wish someone would restore these. 
    I looked for thread about these from ages ago, no luck yet.

    I'm entitled to my opinion even if you, or anyone else, disagrees with it. As far as I know, opinions aren't against forum rules.

    Having them is OK. It's just expressing them that's verboten.  ;)

    You guys really aren’t the derailers. More like a “turd butterfly effect”.  It ain’t personal imo. I’m firing up a Padron right now for your souls. My irreligious incense  ??️

    Bill, a few of us here love that discussion, obvs. But the Peter Griffins kill the fun. Karen’s too. I’d like to have a cigar with more than a few here, and many of my closest friends are on another car board. Sadly, no scotch or cigars, and wrong venue. 
    You and I, others can discuss offline/pm and will listen and comment. Even if fos. ??‍♂️? That’s not the case in the peanut gallery. 
    Best intentions don’t help. 
    This was a pre-grid warm up lap that left this innocent hanging. Like a thread derail. ??‍♂️??

  8. We all have choices. It’s in TOS. Not locked. 
    User makes choice to follow or not. 
    Break TOS? Your board, NBD. Not your board? Cya. 

    If you think this is a petty tyranny and you live where you do, ya gotta write a book. ??
    And anyone (not just Joe) who has been here a bit knows exactly where some stuff goes. Always. 

    People attack mods, manufacturers, authors, or just others. It’s uncalled for. Friggin “I know you are, but what am I?” puerile b.s.

    I don’t think the Volvo thing was the issue. Stuff devolves here, it’s the polarization and overgeneralizing after issue raised. Plus scatter. People land on point that is tangent, and off it goes. 
    E.G. new kit: Box art bad; valve covers wrong; glad we have one; do it right; real modelers fix; why didn’t they;….. Always. Every. Single. Time. 
    A car board I’m on requires subscription that is not cheap before you discuss P&R. Some only post there. Reasonable people go off rails, carries into rest of huge forum. Not good, people get banned from PR, proceed to continue in other forums. Banned overall. 
    Not worth it. 
    Id rather not know everyone’s opinion. Certainly not here. Sometimes the opinions burn. ??‍♂️?
