It worked very well. I never suspected it was a compact digital camera. I was thinking GoPro or something similar.

Very nice work and video - quite realistic. I don't know what camera you used to video it, but I really liked the effect. I felt like I was walking around the diorama. Well done!

My 07 Mustang developed that dashboard leak in a heavy rainstorm one day. The cabin air filter receptacle drain got clogged up with pine needles and leaves, and overflowed through the filter into the ventilation fan blades then into the interior. What a mess. I know what you went through. It is pretty scary - I was worried it was a coolant leak at first and the fan made noise until it dried out.

Nice work. I've got a Deserter conversion in progress. The cab and frame are extended, and everything is roughed in. I'm hoping it comes out anywhere near as good as yours. If you're in the planning stages, check out the GM Vehicle Information Kits at Vehicle Information Kits | GM Heritage Archive | General Motors . Great place for dimensions and other specs.

I was browsing Reddit, and I found this fascinating video. I must have watched it a dozen times. Uh, so far. It's nothing more than one minute of cars with pop-up/hidden headlights being activated. There is everything from Cords to Ferraris to Opel GTs. I've often wondered how the headlights on a Buick Riviera or Chevrolet Camaro worked; it was answered here. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a URL direct to this video , so here is the link to Reddit. I did check and found no profanity or offensive material; I would consider it safe for work. https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/12kd3ny/popup_headlights/ Searching YouTube for "dtrockstar1 headlights" will provide other videos by the same creator with the same subject, some much longer than a minute. Enjoy!

But then again, I had a 1965 Chevy Bel Air wagon, and a friend of mine had a 1965 Chevy Impala 2-door. My door keys would start his car, and his would start mine. The ignition keys would work on the doors. Automotive security has been a problem for a long time, and I wouldn't expect it to get much better - only different.

They make pretty nice wreaths, too.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

The limber holes look really good. How did you do it? I've got a couple of Type VIIs and XIXs, along with a few Gatos in 1/350. They just don't look right without the work on the limber holes. Thanks!

I remember that being a thing in Louisville, KY in the early to mid 70s. The rock station there would play a full album (or at least one side) in the wee hours of the morning - no commercials. I assume it was to avoid paying DJs. I would imagine there was a technician or someone to flip sides or put the needle back in the groove. This was also the era of TV stations signing off at 11pm or 12am.

Testors also did a yellow version of the Boyd's Hauler with a different name and the same wheels. It was a simple curbside kit with solid black windows and no interior.

Ha! Found the picture. It wasn't the Atlantic, but it was Lindberg in November 2018.

One day at Ollie's quite a while back I found a kit (I think it was a Lindberg Chrysler Atlantic) that had an inscription on the box in Sharpie. It was an inspirational note. I think it came from one of the models for veterans-type thing. Very odd. I was wondering the same thing about Ollie's and their wrappings.

Maybe it has something to do with removale?

I was at my LHS a few minutes ago, and they had the Revell snap-kit New Beetle for $41.99. That happened to be the same price as the Revell AMG GT glue kit (93 pieces). I was thinking of picking up the VW, but not at that price.

This is the one I use. It seems a little more comprehensive than Old Car Brochures: Brochures (lov2xlr8.no) That Comet is a very nice find.

What bothers me is all those B-52s chopped up in the last picture. I understand arms talks and the like, but it's disturbing to see the outcome.

In no particular order, these are my crank up the volume and bang my head songs: Black Sabbath - Paranoid Transplants - Diamonds & Guns Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated

Apparently, the B-17 was Texas Raiders, a B-17G owned by the Commemorative Air Force.

I don't have the steadiest hand either. You can see how rough the driver's side is, especially at the bottom. I may give it another gentle Dremeling, then break out the sandpaper and files. I do worry about going all the way through the plastic or damaging the edges of the trough. How did you damage the cab?

So. I finally got around to taking pictures of the chrome removal. The first is the cab. It's cleaned up some, but still needs work. As Mike C. said, it's not as easy as it looks. You can also see that the windshield has been raised a bit and some cleanup is needed on that. Most of my time is spent on cleanup. The second picture is the bed sides; the left is untouched, the right has the rough Dremeling done. Lots of work ahead on these. After everything's cleaned up, the bed will be reconfigured to a normal short or long bed truck - none of this Camper Special or stepside stuff.

I thought so. I had a hard time telling. Thanks!

Are those flares separate pieces or molded to the body?

Thanks. Love the stance and the bed.
