Congrats on your birthday. Here's to you having many more.. Just think the next birthday that will be the same whether you look at it right side up or upside down will be 96.

If it were me I would clean off the dust and reassemble it. It is a time capsule of your dad's work and yours and deserves to be kept in that condition. Since it an available kit get a new one and build a modern version of it today to be shown side by side.

I agree. Wait till you can get one of those brands. One problem with low quality products is they don't always work. Which could be very frustrating when starting out. Second what issues are you having with the testors airbrush. You might try searching on YouTube for videos on trouble shooting that airbrush. What are you using for an air supply for the testors.

Great looking project.

I'd say build a fresh kit. If it's one of your old builds it's a snapshot of your skills when it's built. As said if it's a common kit tearing it apart and stripping can consume limited bench time.

Does anyone know how Gregg is doing in regards to the fires?

Make a model by kitbashing and you can be very creative.

Very sage advice. It's often way to easy to type an inappropriate response. I've typed stuff , reread it , and realized it was best not to go there and delete it.

One thing to consider if you are using automotive lacquer is when you hit it with primer you might have the ghosting come back. If you brush on liquid glue and then side it will help.

Was that really something you said to the police office when he stopped you for speeding!

It just goes to show how unique and special this site is.

Erosion of civility has definitely increased with the proliferation of social media which is truly unfortunate.

I'm glad to hear that Bill's absence is not health related. Considering we've recently lost several members due to health it is always a concern. Most of us are at the age that health issues are always a potential issue.

Issues with unacceptable post content is often caused by too much leniency in what is allowed.

If you Google pro Street pickup chassis you will see how the full size trucks are done. For modifying the chassis evergreen plastic shapes will come in handy.

Yup that is so true.

I agree. My sole intent is to make sure Bill isn't having a health issue. I didn't want to assume his absence was because of his move and find out it was health related. Was hoping someone could clarify.

If there are issues with vendors we need to be made aware. Too often we think we are the only ones with a problem. Besides if it had been only a few weeks that is one thing, four months is time for concern.

I agree. His automotive knowledge is outstanding and when he has time to work on his projects there is always something to be learned. Hopefully we will here from him soon.

I know that Bill has been moving to his new place in Arizona but wanted to know if that was the case. Just want to make sure he isn't having health issues

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Nicely done. Looks like a really fun kit.

Its been almost 2 months. Is there any more news on the powell?

I got rid of paid TV in 2016 for the same reasons. Too many ads and the content that was being created wasn't worth the price. Don't miss it in the least. Occasionally I watch my sisters house and they have cable. Haven't seen anything to change my mind at this point.

Looking good. Fingers crossed on new paint job.
