Gen-X here... I know exactly how you feel !

More like "off-the-side-of-the-road-on-the-highway-shoulder" duty !

Pieces of The Ticket that Exploded were floating through the air

Those AWS setups seem to rear their head every so often... and they always seem to disappear rather quickly. First one that I can recall seeing was a c.1988 Prelude with AWS. I'm sure there were a number of factory-built predecessors.

I wish that I knew , that I had an answer here. I just chalked it up to that primer being a final, no sanding 'sealer' under the colour coats.

The quite expensive 1971-1974 cassette player-recorder-microphone that was an option in the Charger, Super Bee, Demon (1971 only), Dart (1971 only), Satellite, Road Runner , GTX, Barracuda, Duster (1971 only) , and Valiant (1971 only).

Did any of you ever see Doctor Tetrazzini perform? I say perform advisedly because his operations were performances. He would start by throwing a scalpel across the room into the patient and then make his entrance as a ballet dancer. His speed was incredible: "I don't give them time to die", he would say. Tumors put him in a frenzy of rage. "[ BLAH-BLAH-BLAH ] undisciplined cells!" he would snarl, advancing on the tumor like a knife-fighter.

Holidays' traditions such as Mari Lwyd are among my favourite festivities (and part of me lineage)

IIRC, those simulated mag wheel covers were manufactured by Kelsey-Hayes

To break those caps loose, I run the bottle - cap-side-only - under hot running water. That usually does the trick. If they're extra testy , I'll smack the lid with the blunt side of pliers.

Super nice RM23V0A you've built there ! That colour reminds me a factory colour , EA4 Silver Metallic - excellent choice ! The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1970 Paint Chip Charts Slideshow

At the risk of my being redundant ; I really wish that Revell would include those under-chassis headers (rare in 1:1) and the 'Super Stock'-style springs in every issue of their (excellent) '68 Dart kits. (and, how's about a backdate to a '67 GT+S while we're "wishing" ? Heck, an update to a 1970 Swinger 340 , too !)

Defence against Desoxyn-fuelled Hornets is futile

Correct. That's the only engine the kit had (the '383' from the '69 , and the '440' from the Mr. Norm's GSS ), as the Hemi didn't come around until, when ? 2012 ?

From memory : - Under-chassis headers - No vinyl top - Raised rear ( 'Super Stock' ) springs I wish that Revell would reissue the '68 Dart with those parts.

It's like those free gravy boats that are in hospitals. One can typically find them at yard sales mixed in with other kitchen and dining items and wares.

Ages ago (1995) I mated the Hemi from the Monogram '71 'Cuda to the Torqueflite from the '71 Satellite / GTX . I did that so that I could keep the kit's console, and, more importantly not have to add a Dana 60.

Would the AMT Firestone pinstripe WW's work ? The ones in the Parts Pack ? They look skinny enough and have that tall sidewall...

The sink marques you're referring to were corrected some +/- 8 years ago with that reissue ; see link to your Fotki site : Photo: DSC 0038 | First Look - AMT 1968 El Camino SS Derby Champions II album | Funman1712 | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.
