I saw that on their website a couple of days ago when I was looking for a Charger Pursuit. One of these days I am going to spend a few days down there and check them out and see the Peterson Museum while I am visiting.

Since you are painting in your garage...... This is my garage compressor, a 4.6 gallon Husky that I bought used from a colleague. It is very quiet, airs up the car and bicycle tires nicely. Has enough capacity to use a blow gun. Oh, yeah...it is very quiet. I have an airbrush hose with a pressure regulator and two water traps that attaches to the standard air hose. It works well, and I can "open the garage door" and paint on the driveway if I want to. I don't have a paint booth.

Not an expert here by any means. I bought a Paasche H around 1980 and it is the only airbrush I have ever used. I use rattle cans when I can (Tamiya), but Scale Finishes is the most brain dead airbrush paint I have ever used. Mix it up, put it in the jar (or cup) and spray it. No thinning, just use it. I would never want a dual action airbrush, but for those of you who have mastered them, more power to you.

I would love to see a '69 and/or '70 Elky myself, but the interiors and underhood ('69-70) are quite different as well. Round2 had enough difficulty updating the '70 1/2 Camaro kit to a new front clip that they still may have a sour taste in their corporate mouths and may not be interested in beating their heads against that wall again. But who knows?

It was missing link and they were a repop of the JoHan Maverick. I have a couple of them and they are kind of narrow and too short to fit 67-up engine bays at all. The AMT 66 Fairlane has towers, but they are missing the shock mounts. Scott at Futuraattraction made those. 1:1 Fairlanes, Torinos, etc. have a bit taller body than the Mustang. The Mustang uses a crossbar type upper shock mount, the Fairlane uses a stud. If you installed a Fairlane shock and upper mount on a Mustang, it would probably hit the hood when you closed it. 65-66 Mustangs have a somewhat different shape to the shock towers than 67-up. The 64 1/2 generator cars also have a "dent" on the bottom of the passenger tower for generator clearance on the V8.

What did you see on the road today?
Rodent replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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.

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.
