Sometimes they come back

I recall the Prestige Series release around '87 had the hardtop, but don't think releases after that had it. Nice to see both back, and maybe the stock wheel covers?

Looking forward to the '68 Coronet and new Charger kits this month.

I did see some resin 240 6s out there (VCG Resins, I believe), but they were out of stock. Didn't see a 300. But isn't the 240 in the Mobeius pickups basically the same?

Yes, they have excellent product. I ordered several engines and transmissions last quarter, and have a few more on order now.

That's pretty standard now, same with online retailers..most Round 2 and Revell releases are $32-$35 or more..

Not much to be irked about, but as a long time Broncos fan, yesterday's game was a lump of coal Xmas present. Worst football game I've watched in a long time. On the plus side, it's going to be 20F here today, and the sun has been out a couple times.

Hmmm...the engine in the AMT '05 Chrysler 300C is representative of a regular modern Hemi. The aftermarket ones tend to be Hellcats. There are 300C kits on eBay for less than the price of a resin engine.

Got these today from the UK. Corgi’s new reproductions of some of their ‘60s models.

After bouncing around all week between several post offices on late Thursday I got my November order from Too Many Projects..some resin land yachts.. From eBay I got '95 and '97 Olds Aurora promos to go with the silver blue '96 I've had for over 25 years. Also got a black AMT '98 Olds Intrigue promo.

1F outside, warming up, supposed to get to 12F by 9pm. Hopefully done w/ subzero temps for a while.

I'm off through Jan 2nd. 3 company holidays and PTO. Time to rest. But it's 1F and blowing snow outside today. Think I'm going to take a morning nap and an afternoon nap today.

'95 was when the C/K dash was redesigned and they got the driver's side airbag. The original '96 dooley snap kit has that interior.

1985.

The 1:1 wheelbase is 3 inches shorter (112 vs 115) on the '68-72 coupes, so the '64-67 choices probably would be best...

One is the loneliest number.

I use an iPhone SE (2020 version). It takes great pics and I like the small size of the phone. Downsize is the battery life is poor (as has had every iPhone I've had going back to 2008). Probably will upgrade to an iPhone 14 next year, but I really don't like the larger sized phones.

There is one like this I've seen nearby...probably a replica/tribute...guy also had a white '70 T/A in his driveway.

I find myself watching CC with all UK TV and some American shows. I occasionally watch Scandinavian, French, German shows, so I use CC for them also.

And if owned by multiple airbags, it would be "airbags' ". Not "airbag's' " .

Saw a couple sharp older trucks in parking lots this afternoon. A very clean ‘92-96 Ford F150 XLT regular cab long bed in an unusual two tone—like an orange with tan insert down the side. Looked like original paint. Later saw a clean mid 90s teal GMC Yukon 2dr w/ 6.5 turbo diesel decals. Don’t recall ever seeing a 2dr GM diesel SUV.

It's a pretty area in rural Ohio, 2 ponds on the property, 1859 house and huge 1884 barn and two detached garages. My folks bought it in 1968, I lived there as a kid.
