Noticed the same thing. "Caaan't give you the additional loo you need because your foundation is collapsed and it must be fixed."

I want to mention that whatever type of CA or Testors cement that Rick decides to use, he should keep it very far away from clear parts. That is what the white glue, canopy cement, double sided tape, Mod Podge, etc is for.

Definitely an HEI distributor. Aluminum intake as well, looks like a little hot-rodding was afoot.

It takes forever to dry when it is used at intended for decoupage.

Looking at the MCG '66 442 fret, the "442" emblems look close enough in size to use on this kit. Swap in a 4-speed trans and a suitable shifter.Need to look at the kit air cleaner vs. the 65 Chevelle/ElCamino, but cobbling together a dual snorkel version doesn't look difficult so far. Found the 1:1 air cleaner decals online that can be reduced and printed. Seems like a 442 conversion wouldn't be difficult.

That makes more sense for a ship hull where you can do it from the inside (to me anyway). I haven't had great luck with engine/transmission halves. If I can somewhat get them stuck together, I can go back over the outside seams and that usually works OK.

Domestics can't breed

Somehow, I missed that TS-45 was a thing until a week or so ago when it popped up in some other threads here. I don't remember seeing it at the LHS, but I will check next time I go. That said, from what I have read on here, it is a translucent paint and *probably* shouldn't be applied directly over primer, even white. If I was using it, I would first paint the body with Pure White (for a brighter white) or Racing White (for a warmer white) basecoat over primer and then follow up with the TS-45 for the pearl white effect. Then some clear. This has been mentioned in this thread a few times amongst all of the great advice that members of this wonderful (free) forum have given, but I am afraid that it may have not been clear enough. I hope you have good luck stripping the body. I have had poor luck stripping Tamiya with anything unless it was primed with something else first.

I have issues with the various liquid glues on two piece engine/transmission halves. If I use CA, I wind up with an engine glued to my finger. If I use Tamiya or the other brush-on glues, it dries before I have the entire surface covered. I like the thicker solvent glues for those applications because it helps with hiding the seam.

Fool! Why weren't you saving it for model kits?

Mom used to call the local drug store and ask for a carton of Salems to be set out and 10 year old me would walk over and pick them up. It was a treat because I could peruse the models while I was there. They had no issue with selling me glue......

I have a Google phone and my pictures appear in Google Photos very soon after I take them.

Christmas 2019, the Spousal Unit dug out an ornament that was obviously styrene and had come apart. "Can you glue this?" I hadn't been building for a while, and my CA was all junk and I was out of epoxy. Found a familiar orange tube on the bench that hadn't spoiled. Squeezed some out on foil, used a toothpick, and fixed the ornament. The tube glue has its place for some things to this day IMHO. I tend to use CA and liquid cement on most things, but the orange Testors can still be useful for less delicate things.

Testors makes (made?) a little square bottle of "Rubber" as well. It's one of the few little square bottles that I use. I painted the plastic tires of a 1/32 Ranchero flat black from a rattlecan, lightly brushed the Testors Rubber, then did the outer sidewalls with a light coat of "July Nose Slime" and was very impressed with the results for a plastic tire. I have always been wary of putting paint on vinyl tires though.

Not exactly sure what you are looking for. I have copied the Revell '69 Camaro unit in resin with some degree of success, but at this point I would rather buy something that spend a bunch of very precious bench time making my own parts.

At 50 cents per week allowance that was a big ticket item for me as well. At 79 cents a spray bomb was more than a week's income!

Not sure what you are relating, but the Dodge trucks of the 1970s that I have driven felt like a 1940s truck with a (crummy) disc brake conversion and lots of air in the lines.

Caravan of 16 Beetles, a dune buggy, a Type 3 fastback, and a Golf VII. No pictures, sorry. They were kind of blended into traffic. I only figured out how many there were because I passed them all, but got in a left turn lane and they passed me before I got the green. I had forgotten how attractive the Type 3 really was. They were headed toward Old Town Folsom, I don't know if there was an impromptu show going on or what....
