It's Testors silver

If you have experience airbrushing acrylics for your model railroad hobby, you may want to consider using them for interiors and undercarriages. I typically use Tamiya or Scale Finishes on bodies, but I am learning to use acrylic on other parts. I know that the "R" word is taboo here, but I like their aluminum very much. I just painted some baffle trim for my kitchen lights with their semi-gloss white and was pleased with it as well. I can see it on 60s-70s white vinyl seats. Both of these colors sprayed out nicely and cover well with very little paint used. Their other stuff I can't vouch for. Know what works for you in your climate, but don't be afraid to try new things.

Is there an assisted / independent living facility nearby? They might enjoy having something like this in one of their common areas for inmates residents to build.

Had mine in California for 6 years now. I had to go in to DMV to renew my license (reached the limit of by-mail renewals), so I upgraded it while I was there. It was relatively painless, but I already had a passport. I took in a couple of utility bills, my birth certificate, SS card, and my passport. Told them to pick whatever they wanted. When the license is renewed every 5 years, it is still a Real ID, no reapplication is necessary. This has been coming for 20 years now, shouldn't be a surprise.....

No pics, but Chevy SSRs are becoming a daily sighting around here. Yellow, orange with flames, and today a purple one.

I don't remember? Dad did some paint by number and built some models when I was very young. This '49 Ford and a Monogram Duesenberg phaeton were on the mantle, there was an aircraft carrier, and a Big T was on the table in the entry hall. I may have built some simple planes or ships with Dad, but I don't remember. In 1967 I had my tonsils removed. The folks wanted to entertain me as my throat healed, and I managed to squeak out that I wanted to build a model. Dad went off to the 5 and dime and returned with another '49 Ford and a '64 Galaxie Craftsman, molded in burgundy/maroon. The '49 was special because the first car my parents bought together was a Custom Club Coupe, hence the green one that Dad built. At the time of my surgery, there was a Dynasty Green '64 Galaxie 500 fastback 390 in the garage (not XL). Dad let me build the '64 Craftsman by myself with supervision (no paint), but we built the '49 together and painted it red. I no longer have my '49 or '64, but Dad's '49 lives on in one of my Carney cases. I need to beg an antenna and a taillight from someone to fix it up. The first 1/25th I bought with my own money and built by myself was a MPC '69 Mr. Norm Charger funny car. I no longer have that, but I keep looking on FleaPay. I don't want to pay $300 for one to relive my childhood. Another early one was the MPC '70 Coronet. I still have my AMT '68 Thunderbird awaiting restoration using some FleaPay parts.

and their "boyfriend"

Yesterday actually. My cousin went home with three of the five ACM awards he was nominated for. (all three related to this song with Ella)

Imagine if the Jiffy Pop airbag was a real thing.

Eventually we all will be taking a dirt nap, and our stashes will suddenly belong to someone else.

doesn't call back

Throw it in the purple pond and see what the plastic looks like after 13 coats of paint are gone. Then throw it away.

If you look closely, there is quite a lot that is different. Pretty much every panel, including the roof. The AMT 70 "Galaxie" started off as an LTD and has the more formal roofline of the 4-door pillarless hardtop, not the 4-door sedan. They also kept the LTD interior which has a fancier seat upholstery pattern than a Galaxie or Custom. The dash is quite a bit different between the 70 and 71-72 as well. The 69-70 is more driver centered with kind of a cockpit setup and the radio on the left. The 71-72 is more traditional.

and funny sounds

not the duck

No. The 1970-71 AMTs were Cobras, so they had the Fairlane grille. An an aside, the 70 and 71 seat upholstery was different, but probably not enough to be noticeable in 1/25 scale.
