With any luck, we will get an additional Mach 1 variant from Revell eventually with the Boss 351 rebranded as a 351C and/or another Mach 1 variant with the 429. Keeping my fingers crossed.....

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the 3D printed Lightning wheels.

Yeah, IIRC "Corporate Blue" came out in 1977. A neighbor was so upset that he might get a Chevy engine in his Cutlass wagon they ordered the 403 instead of the 350. I don't think that Mr. Day was smart enough to come up with that idea on his own, he may have been coached by a neighbor lad......

No. This is one of my "go-tos" for Chevelle info. My boss has a 1970 SS454 HT that "had" a green interior (now black), so I suspect green as an interior choice came later than 1968. http://chevellestuff.net/1968/exterior-interior.htm

Blue = 455 Gold = 350 That's all I need..... (For 70-72 anyway)

This is also a power steering component. It is the pitman arm mounted control valve that is connected to the ram (that you removed) with the left- and right-turn hoses. A manual steering center link will be connected directly to the pitman arm here. I love all these race cars you build. They are among my favorite 1:1s and you certainly do them justice with your builds. Center link for manual steering: Center link for power steering with provision for the control valve:

We visited Magic Hat in 2016 when we were in Burlington. I like most all fruity IPAs and tend to switch it up. My local grocery store carries Citrus Mistress by Hop Valley in Oregon. There are a few other NorCal locals by Auburn Alehouse and Device that I buy as well.

I have a couple of Joel's engines and they are nice.

This is my regulator, filter, and trap setup. I have had the airbrush, hose, and trap for probably 40 years.

I got this from my boss a while back for pennies on the dollar. I previously had an El Cheapo that sounded like someone was jackhammering the driveway. It's perfect for car and bike tires and the airbrush. And it's amazingly quiet.

IF they did a Vista Cruiser, a 69 would probably be more successful than a 70, sales-wise if they did a That 70's Show tie-in. But I like the 70 the best.

Pat, I wasn't aware that you sold the Chevy.

The regular 2-door A-bodies of this generation were on a 112 inch wheelbase, the 4-doors and "normal" wagons on a 116 inch wheelbase, and the Vista Cruiser rode a special 121 inch wheelbase. It would take a fair amount of changing to get an accurate Vista Cruiser out of the existing tool. I would love to see a 1970 Vista Cruiser kitted, but I won't hold my breath.

I remember your name from Autoweek or something. I helped crew for some EXTREMELY amature friends up in Issaqua and over in Gerlach in the early 80s. It was quite a shoestring adventure. I don't think I have ever been so cold as I was in Gerlach. The mental midget that owned the van took the thermostat out because it overheated. Guess what? Solved the overheating but made the heater not work. I dumpster-dove some cardboard and blocked off the radiator completely and we still had no heat.

The aluminum has this style, or at least the California Emissions equipped aluminum does. This color looks horrible if you put clear flat over it, so I wrote myself a note on the plastic lid not to do so. Are you the Steve Nowicki that used to do crazy things in the forest with a Fire Arrow?

Honestly, we have run off the rails (again). Riley was trying to get some real-world 2X experiences and try to tabulate then into a good vs bad reference document. If I had to drag out my airbrush every time I wanted to paint something, I would get even less accomplished at the bench. I save the airbrush for custom mixed colors and Scale Finishes. Otherwise, bodies and sometimes interiors are painted mostly with Tamiya rattle cans, even though I have a fair amount of Testors lacquer in the stash and use it occasionally. I used to use the Testors Metallizers in rattle cans for engine blocks, transmissions, steering racks, exhaust, etc. We all know how that ended, and I bought a can of the 2X aluminum "just for fun" to (hopefully) replace the Testors Aluminum plate. I liked it. Their grey primer is OK as well, IMHO. I use automotive or "hardware store" primer on bodies if I have had to do any filling or reshaping because it seems to fill better. Otherwise, it's Tamiya or Tamiya Fine.
