Haha, don't you worry. Eventually I'll be starting on a rebuild of my '84 GMC.

Well finally got a start on my new Monogram F250 kit. I've did some cutting and gluing to go from a extended cab 2WD automatic, to a regular cab 4WD manual. First thing I did was cut off the auto tranny and glue on the manual that I got from Casey. I then shortened the cab. I don't have any filler yet, so the seam is still visible. Next I shortened the frame, trying to keep the fuel tank intact. I also shifted the front crossmember to allow for the 4WD TTB system. Finally I shortened the interior tub and cut out part of under the seat to allow it to sit over the modified chassis.

That would be one cool grandma!

My two cents: Don't care either way, as long as mildly off-topic posts are still allowed. All the other forums I go to have off-topic sections (forum for the Gran Turismo series has a section for tv/movies, music, etc.) I actually enjoy seeing what people here have to say on non-model car related topics, and think that it would be too cumbersome and, well, lame to take it to PMs. But hey, if there is another section created, then I have one more section that I get to read! *The above does not regard politics/religion*

Thanks Harry!

You all use big words! Me do not know!

I guess it does!

here's the brochure for it if you want some ideas of what the real car came with.

Hey, I said nothing about me adding a poll!

OOh, mafia car! Don't see too many of those on here.

I use oven cleaner, which does require gloves and goggles. Course, it is the fresh scent and does get rid of the undercoat stuff!

I'm bored tonight!

Actually Uncle Buck had a 1975 2 door Mercury Marquis.

Bah...oh well. In any case, that's the only place I can think of that sells em.

Haha are the rear wheels separate, solid like the AMT Snap Dodge Ram Dually, or with the outer wheel only like the Ford F-350 kit?

Yeah, the '92 AMT Dually.

Modelhaus has them, but they are 13 bucks for an unplated set (with tires). Dunno how much a Canuck would pay.

Build is going great! RE: tv show I do remember a few months back watching an actual repo show, though I can't remember the name. Operation Repo on the other hand is different. I really wish they would have put it on Comedy Central and touted it as a show similar to Reno 911, in the "fake comedic 'reality' show" category. The fact that they have it on a channel which is touted as "true TV" makes me not want to watch it.

You know, it is Fujimi so I don't mind that they are building a Prius. Now if it were say Revell or AMT, then I could see the facepalmage.

If you're going low budget, you should use the cowl hood, but have it primer gray/black. You could say the person bought the aftermarket hood, but didn't have enough to have it painted.

You know, I could see that much for the kits if they were complete and sealed. He wants almost 500 bucks for two empty boxes with minor damage on them? Love this part: And

Check this one out:

It was just the 2WD Regular cab F-250 LD (6600 lb GVWR). I'm sure most were either the 7700lb GVWR, the 4WD LD, or the HD, all of which had the 8-lug pattern. The 250 came only with the steel wheels with optional wheel covers. After looking at my brochure, it appears the six-lug trucks used the steel wheels with the hubcaps that only covered the hub and lug nuts.

Yup, I have the brochure for the '88 so they are correct style, just wrong lug count (F-250 LD had 6-bolt, F-250 HD had 8-bolt.) And that would be the Revell kit you are referring to. The AMT kit has a decent set of wagon wheels with separate hubs/lug nuts which are also 6-lug. Of course, since they are 1/25th they may scale down to 14" wheels. I know, I'd say it's one of the better decal sheets I've seen in terms of optional decals!

No Krate, but my dad does have a restored 1968(1969?) Schwinn Stingray Fastback with the 5-speed Stick-Shift, in a nice bronze-orange metallic paint. Of course I don't have a pic on my computer though!
