I Looks like the Jada kit, maybe?

I'm 99% sure it's a RoG rebox, as they did recently w/ the new '60s Beetle tool.

what a beast

That's sharp...caught an episode of 'Fast N Loud' recently and they did a '67-69 shortbed in an olive green w/ gray bumpers...had a Lincoln Mk VIII drivetrain IIRC. Neat looking truck....an idea for the '69 version.

People are calling them 13" because they look so small in the box art, like the parts are undersized. The Revell '68 Firebird was like that also..the wheels look really small in that kit.

The grill looks a bit shallow also, the depth doesn't seem to be there...hard to be sure from photos alone, though..

Looks like the inner bright horizontal lines above and below the parking lights (see 1:1 photo below) aren't painted on the box art model..

Yes. Not to mention the wrong hood, etc. I assume this was just a low effort for box art filler...they threw in a few extra parts so they could call it a 2n1. It will be interesting to see if hoods and other parts from the Revell '69 Camaros can be swapped in with some modification...

During Monsoon season, the rain comes in huge downpours that last a short time. Overwhelms the existing drainage systems in town and the water pools in low spots---a lot of the roads in the desert areas follow the contours ot the land, incl. arroyos and washes (natural dips).

Flooded streets proved to be a challenge this afternoon..encountered 3 of them, had to change my route across town for a meeting quite a bit..should have just taken the freeways..

Saw a very clean dark red early '90s 300ZX convertible (the ones w/ the basket hoop)...rarely ever seen one of those, esp. in stock clean shape.. always liked that gen of Z.

For good service...I tip at my local take out Chinese place, if the service was good..just like tipping at Starbucks, the cleaners, the parking attendant, the pizza delivery guy, my hair trimmer, my dog groomer, my yard guy...

Ah, $5 a cup is just mainstream Starbucks..some of the local gourmet places charge $9-11 a cup for custom cups--rare beans or speciality brewing methods like cold-press.. I love coffee, so of I course I've tried them...good stuff... (I also like McDonalds or Dunkins some mornings, though).

Would be nice, but all the extra parts needed for something like that (different engine, transmission, hood, emblems, grille, wheels, tires, exhaust, etc) would raise the price and people would complain about that, no doubt.. An SS350 or Z-28 variant would be nice to see eventually..

Speaking of intersection annoyances, I often walk to lunch from work. Which usually involves crosswalks at intersections, with timers and well-painted lines..it is so annoying how often people are blocking the crosswalk w/ their cars...like they can't see the painted lines..or the drivers that pull out while the cross walk sign is still go (white stick figure or the countdown) and people are using it...

That does seem strange to pull over on a divided highway. I can understand on a street or undivided highway, but why on a divided highway? The law may vary by state, but specifically in Arizona: If the emergency vehicle is traveling on the opposite direction of a divided highway or street, you do not need to pull over.

I think it is getting reissued later this year, though it doesn't show the Round 2 AMT page yet..don't know what box art they will use or if there have been any changes.

Ah, missed those posts. Would love to see it available w/ all the stock parts.

Odd..this kit has been removed from the Round 2 MPC page. It was there last week.

I used to work w/ a woman that didn't seem to realize that most food sold in groceries were grown in nature..i.e. that steak came from cattle,eggs from chicken, milk from cattle, vegetables from the ground, etc...

Took a little day trip up north to Prescott, Jerome, Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon....saw a clean dark red '67 Camaro SS in Sedona, lots of motorcycle and RV traffic on the winding roads. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, great food. Hadn't been up there in a few years, couldn't believe how many rotaries are on the roads in and around Sedona.

Or nearly 30 years...wagons weren't that cool in 1986 either..my girlfriend in high school drove her Mom's '83 Caprice wagon to school.

Yeah, $3k a month would be a solid mortgage payment, but a bit much for a car..

Other than F1 subjects, I don't care much for 1/20th, though I do have a couple of the MPC 1/20th Corvettes. I may get the AMX, because I don't have a '70 in any scale and the subject. I'd be interested in the van if it could be built stock, but the 4x4 custom doesn't appeal to me.

I have a couple of the Johan and a couple of the Monogram ones..I like that the Johan ones don't have the vinyl top..and w/ the racing parts, they are a better starting point for building a period stock car.
