Since they decided to release the new Mustang in 1/12 scale, I hope they could eventually rerelease the 1/12th '69 Camaro and Corvette!

Actually "I could care less" is usually said with sarcasm, it's just tougher to tell in writing. Of course, you get the morons who actually think that that's the correct phrasing. You're not a moron Harry, are you?

I'm sure most of them know that it would be easy to spot, so they bring it somewhere to strip it down and sell off the parts, or paint it a different color. It's worse down south, since the thieves can bring the vehicle down to Mexico and it'll never be seen again. Hope nothing of the sort has happened to this guy's truck and he gets it back.

Almost looks like it has the military blackout lights that were on the old army trucks.

Ain't is a word, it's a contraction for ain't not.

Decals turned out great! Suggestion would be to take your time on taking pictures. Try from different angles and distances to get a nice clear image. Remember, it's digital which means you won't run out of image space! (unless you don't delete any )

My brother's bringing me my Ford truck parts this weekend, so I should be started soon.

Should be an interesting final result! One thing though, the rear wheel wells seem a bit too tall, though it may just be the perspective.

I know there was a resin body made of the S-10 Blazer, but I'm not sure if it's still available or where to find it.

Unfortunately no. There haven't been any kits of new pickups for about a decade now. You may be able to find a diecast model, but not a plastic kit.

Same here.

What you can't really see in the pictures is I also made a remote oil filter attachment for the engine, and you can see the hoses laying in the chassis next to the engine. The oil filter gets mounted on the radiator core support. If you didn't know already, it was like this from factory since the front differential and driveshaft used the space normally used by the oil filter on the engine, since the truck was so low.

Yup, I believe you're thinking of the article that Car and Driver did. I'm also a fan of the boxy S-10s/Blazers, especially the S-10 Baja and Blazer High Country.

Got some more done this weekend. Completed interior: Practically completed chassis:

Go Chrysler, slap a new front end on the Sebring and give it a new name.

Get anywhere on this build?

I've lately started using the Krylon Fusion made for plastic, and it hasn't messed up my kits at all.

Wow, that's horrible!

Eh it is better than what they called a Charger back in the 80's. Or a Challenger for that matter.

Any pics or a link to an article?

When I built mine, I used I believe 3/8" square tubing with 1/8" thick sheet styrene for the sides.

Gah, please use first names since I thought you were talking about me at first!

Because things come up? What it sounds like is unless you can predict the future, don't post a WIP build. People lose interest, people get sick, people lose computer access, people lose the builds (natural disasters, breakage, etc.), and so on. I really don't see how your reasoning would work.

Got started this weekend. Chassis painted and gas tank installed: 3/4 of the engine completed: Painted the spokes of the wheels white: Wheels with disc brakes I also got the body kit glued on the body, and I've been modifying the exhaust manifold where the turbo attaches, since on the 1:1 it has a square attachment whereas the kit has a round attachment to the wrong style manifold.

That's all I'll say about that! As far as the topic on hand, I disagree. People are posting their works in progress to show what they have done so far at their pace. You are making it sound like people are just doing it at the whim of others, like everything has to be done at your pace or else there's no point in viewing it. Heck, what's the point in even having a WIP section if it isn't updated as the progress is. Plus, you would lose valuable advice along the way that could improve your build.
