2025 is the first year they have been rolled into Chevrolet. They have been around since 2022-ish as a separate GM subsidiary. FedEx has some, but you certainly don't see many on the road, even here in California.

Brands on the cattle being too similar is why my mother's family changed the spelling of their last name in the 19th century Azores. (according to family legend, the cows kept getting mixed up with the other 10 dairies of the same name)

yes, thank goodness

Interesting that you brought this up. I am happy that they brought this back, along with the '68. What I don't understand is why they retooled a blobular chassis with molded in exhaust when they could have used the old kit chassis with the separate rear axle and exhaust. I believe that the promos had separate parts like the kits, at least the '68 did. Way easier to paint and detail even for a curbside. I didn't buy either one and they both seem to have disappeared from the LHS.

Speaking specifically of the inner door handles and the dash shot with the overdrive lamp matching Toyota. I know what an extended cab pickup is, I have one. I was speaking of the vent glass in the doors. After spending way too much time researching this, I found out that they came as a package with the sliding rear window. It's not an Isuzu, I don't care what the internet idiots said it might be.

OK, the inside door handle and overdrive lamp in the movie trailer match the Toyota that Brian posted and the red one in the background shot that you posted. The only thing I don't know is why the truck in the movie trailer has vent windows. Maybe it is a year-to-year thing that a Toyota truck junkie can answer.

I have always thought most of the old Monogram muscle car kits seemed larger than 1:24, but I have never measured any of them.

Is he Canadian?

makes them mad

Last time I painted tires, I used Tamiya flat black spray and did a light overbrush of someone's rubber black. It may have been Testors. That is one of their square bottle paints that seems to work as well as the competition.

Same here.

Tomorrow there will still be no news about reissuing the MPC 71/72 Road Runner.

Agree completely. I have been using a Paasche H for nearly 40 years. I think that my brain is too dysfunctional to paint a standard paintjob on a 1/24 1/25 model with a dual action.

Mike, I have 208-225 that I don't have much interest in keeping. LMK via PM if you need any or all of them. I believe you are in the U.S. ?

I just got some of those from Section8 a few weeks ago and they are very nice.

NCIC is the Nobody Cares Institute (of) Crybabies

It's been a few years since I owned it, but I had my '68 Mustang on my regular policy as well with no use restrictions. All they asked was that I get it appraised. One of the local Mustang parts suppliers was an appraiser and took care of it painlessly.

Just to confuse things (because that is what we do here), Tamiya also makes a pink primer that I like to use with reds and oranges. My suggestion is to do a spoon test with your intended red and all three of the primers and choose whichever one you like the final color of best.
