I was, and will be. I was born and raised in Louisville (Hikes Point/Jeffersontown), joined the Navy to see the world, and will move back to Louisville in the next few years.

Love your build so far. All the detailing is wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed project.

The NASCAR body is pretty much identical to the stock body in external appearance with an opening flat hood. It has all the lights, moldings and badges on it. I would assume the snap/promo body would have a closed hood and mounting posts inside, but I've never had one.

The problem with that is that it looks like Bubba just took a break from his angle grinder session to go get another beer.

They do look a lot alike, but this is a Capri III. The biggest difference I can see is the flat front edge of the hood, without the headlight bulges. Many of the dimensions are different also. This is a Capri II

It's a Capri III, not sold in the US. The Capri II was replaced by the Mustang-based Capri in the US.

I just wonder what happened to all the TR7 garages out there....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgF38F_qw0

The Revell Lincoln LSC that was recently released would be a good candidate. It should have everything you need to build a Pro Street, including street tires. The chassis will be a bit short and probably narrow, but the mechanical bits will likely be good.

This one may have a cowl induction hood - it's difficult to tell from the box art. I do have the kit but it's been stashed away for years and I don't remember. The hood is different than the stock one, so I'm not sure it will work with a stock truck grill.

Rob beat me to it.

I would contact your help desk since it's a company phone. You shouldn't have to bear the cost of supplying chargers and cables. They will give you a compatible charger, and probably two, so that you can have one at home and the other at work. If it's a phone problem, they will replace it. I have a company issued iPhone that they completely support. I have never had a personal iPhone or any interest in one. They provide all the accessories I need for it. I've never spent a dime on it.

So I found the same type of truck that had the TV screens on it that I saw in DC. This video is probably acceptable - it's a "see through" truck. The front camera is displayed on the rear screen. https://packaged-media.redd.it/bty51tt9zinf1/pb/m2-res_1276p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1757214000&s=726d5f917437896277b0d051670e1702b89e086d

On 12th Street SW in DC, I saw 3 20ft or so box trucks parked on the side of the road. They had basically huge TVs mounted on the box sides and rears covering the entire area. I have never seen anything like that. I took some video of them, but being DC, the message was very political and not appropriate for here.

LGB is a German company, and stands for Lehmann Gross Bahn (Lehmann Big Trains).

You may also see the LGB compatible stuff marked as G scale.

I had an automatic 92 SC. Best car I've ever owned - I was devastated when I sold it. I expected it to be my forever car, but it was not to be. From what I remember, there were no manual transmission Super Coupes sold in 92.

"Submerged: Life on a Fast Attack Submarine in the Last Days of the Cold War" by Henry Rausch. What a great book. It sheds a lot of light on the life of a junior naval officer. It's a very accurate depiction of life in the submarine business in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I've read the book 5 times or so since I got it in April. Disclaimer: he was the Weapons Officer supervising my job on another submarine, and I flew back to the US with him from the Mediterranean Sea many years ago.

Thanks!

What scale are these? You've done a nice job on them. I have the Amphicat that Jack L mentioned, and was thinking they'd be cool when I was building mine. I love that theme song - it's a happy and fun song and video. I go watch it on YouTube every so often.

Expand the box above to see the pictures - you can probably only see text.... Looking at these two shots, it appears that the front end openings are about 1-1/2 times larger on the model than they should be. They also look a little too low. The bottom edges of the openings should have "ramps". I would think that adding those ramps to the existing openings would do wonders, and I would do that before adjusting anything else. Just my thoughts.

That's what I get: (1/25) / (1/24) = 96% (1/24) / (1/25) = 104% Just about 4%.

Here is a link to some GM Vehicle Kits Vehicle Information Kits | GM Heritage Archive | General Motors Most of them are Chevrolet, but there are others. Many of them contain measurements for unusual dimensions. I find them quite useful for GM cars.

That's what I thought. There was a factory color called Iris Metallic available on the 90's F-Series that was very similar to this color.
