Agreed, but I had the original editions of both the 73 and 74 Roadrunner and the 72 GTO. I certainly wouldn't buy them again. I still have the original 74 RR and have been thinking of doing a Rodent-Fu on it. Bought a decal sheet from the current release on the Bay recently just to do that.

Every time I see an AMT '66 Mercury, I think about how many times I have had a version of that kit in my hand, read the box, then put it back on the shelf. Still have never purchased one to this day. What reissued kits have you done the same thing with for every reissue? It intrigued you enough to pick it up, but not enough to ever take it home. I can think of a few others on my list, but I wonder if I am the only one who does this.

I hope they get the reverse lights and exhaust trumpets right on this version. The original had some "things" that were neither fish nor fowl. And I hope they decide on something other than white letter Polyglas GTs for the final iteration. I am kind of a Early Mustang Geek, and I have my "cringe list", like Rex and his '71-'73 hood louvers. Didn't see this one coming and I am glad they are doing it. Didn't see the Charger coming either, and I am glad it isn't based on the Lindberg kit.

I agree that they had a certain"feel" to them. My boss is not lacking for money, but he has owned 6-7 of these things as "toys". His current one is his first civilian version. Got it from an old man who quit driving before he beat it up too badly. But they were built at the St. Thomas plant in Southwold, Ontario.

Me too. A Q-code Mach 1 wouldn't be a very big leap away from a Boss.

Deep in some formerly dormant brain cells, was a recollection that most large motorhomes of this vintage were on Dodge chassis and had 413 "truck" engines that excited a lot of wrecking yard shoppers that they had found a 440. I found a 1970 Winnebago brochure online today, and it said that they were indeed on Dodge chassis, but they came with a 318. Even the 27-footer. And I would SO buy this if it was made available in resin, even if I had to scratch the interior, and supply the engine, trans, and wheels. https://www.rvroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/winnebago/1970/1970.DSeries.pdf

Joseph makes door handles for the squarebody trucks if you don't want anyone to think the driver of your Blazer has "small hands".

Anybody use this (or the satin) for the same thing? Brush it over the decal only after it has dried?

aim too, please

I hope it's just ME, but I have been especially disappointed with new TS13 cans lately.

This is on Amazon Prime? Gonna have to check it out. Love Canadian wit. Sad that Schitt's Creek ended.

I have used Tamiya TS three times recently. Once was a touchup (blend) on a pickup bed that had been damaged. That was with an old can I had had for several years. The other two were from fresh-from-the LHS cans. The old can behaved like we all love, the others not so much, including TS-13. I don't know if something changed in the formula recently or what. I just couldn't get the glass smooth finish I am used to. Even with heavy final coats, it wasn't as smooth as I like after drying.

Got my license in 1976, and by the Grace of God, my first (and only) ticket was in 2012 in Arizona. Those of you who live there remember the baloney with the speed cameras and the guy driving around Phoenix with a gorilla suit on. Even after the state stopped using cameras, some municipalities still had them. Was on 69 coming into Prescott Valley. Speed limit was 60-65, I don't remember. They "conveniently" spaced the camera warning, the lowered speed limit (45), and the unmarked Ford Escape with the camera so that they were able to nail the most people. Was a Hertz Equinox, so it took a while to get the ticket forwarded. I really didn't want to hire an attorney or go back there for my court date, and especially didn't want to plead guilty and mail them money and get points on my California license. Always the daring one, I started Googling, and found a law firm's website that recommended that out of state drivers just ignore Arizona speed camera tickets. Something about the law stating that a mailed ticket wasn't legally "served" and if you didn't sign it and return it (serving yourself essentially) the ticket would be dismissed. I found my court date online, and sure enough my ticket was dismissed.

66 LWB Styleside, yes.

Brian said that he thought Kris made them but they aren't on the site. I don't know if that is true or not, but it would be worthwhile to send Kris a message.

Is it possible to ignore a thread? I am afraid that if I follow this thread it may be damaging to my bank account, LOL.

I have to say that I like the decals. Especially the Hook, Line, and Sinker Fish Company.
