The Hooterville Cannonball

Not irked, but disappointed in humanity. Was at America's Tire (Discount Tire for some of you) this afternoon getting tires for the spousal unit's Focus. A very tiny older woman walked up behind me to pick up her car and she said that she was picking up her Toyota. Then she asked if that is what it was. All she knew is that it was a Prius but wasn't sure if it was a Toyota or not. She said it was silver.

Yeah, that was kinda my point above. It was more than just moving the steering box. The front track was slightly wider and the handling and braking was vastly improved as they tried to build "4-door Z/28s" for the police car market. It was time to leave the '67 Camaro/'68 Nova front suspension setup behind. It's too bad that they didn't have any horsepower, although the 305 and 350 4-barrels held their own for the time.

The front suspension was quite a bit different, adapting what the Camaro had been using since 70 1/2 with the front mounted steering gear.

You just described a 1974 GTO.

For black background gauges, I have used a white or silver colored pencil to highlight the raised numbers, etc., followed by red/orange/yellow for the pointers.

I have been getting mine from them as well. Last issue I ordered a kit as well. My LHS does not carry books or magazines.

It's too shiny

Cool. You will be happy with that choice I think.

I kind of like it. Not $68 worth, but I definitely like it. Of course, look at my screen name and avatar, LOL.

FWIW, the Glosscote enamel (at least the rattle cans) has a tendency to turn yellow over time. I have a couple of silver builds from the mid 1970s that now look like GM Spring Green. I wouldn't expect the bottles to behave differently.

We just started watching the new American Horror Story "Double Feature". It plays into this with a "pill" that makes you absolutely brilliant at whatever you are trying to do instantly, but it has nasty side effects.

Bummer. My LHS now has the "big" Tamiya racks, so I will have to see if they the clear flat now.
