Let's see... Headlight bulb changes on a 2009 Chevy Malibu. Have to remove the nose of the car to change because the headlight units are bolted to the front bulkhead with no passthrough. I'll admit I found an easier way later where you can unbolt/unsnap the top edge of the nose and slide your hand in and just unbolt the side of the headlight unit and get the bulb changed. Had a 1998 Cadillac DeVille Concours with the 4.3L Northstar. They used too small bolts to hold down the heads, so after a while they start to strip out and you get coolant leaks/blown head gaskets. The engine can be rebuilt (engine out) and the bolt can be drilled/tapped to use LS1 bolts. And my most recent folly, 2011 GMC Acadia. The engine loses oil through the PCV and you have to watch the oil levels like a hawk. If it loses more than a little bit of oil, the timing chains overheat and stretch a little. First it'll just lose a little power and show a code the timing is off. After a while it jumps time (like when the alternator has just failed and been replaced) and it's an engine out job to repair.

I lucked out and got a mostly complete Dr. Krook's Medicine Show and a partial Der Guber Wagen, but I'd love to have the complete series.

Finished a new one today. Color is Duplicolor medium charcoal with Tamiya clear. The wheels are stripped, painted steel and cleared, then highlighted with chrome pen.

Just finished this one today. The body was warped when I got it, and I tried to straighten it out, but it's still a little off. Duplicolor paint. Really simple kit, originally meant to be motorized and lit. I tried to make inner door panels, but they didn't fit into the interior.

Whoops! Should have gone to under glass. Sorry!

Finished this today. Gotta say, I think it's some of my best decal work. Color is Now brand gloss black, very little polishing necessary.

These look great! Good idea!

Looking good! I want one of these.

This one

Looks fantastic. I wonder about using a thin, light battery and small motor to make it actually hover... Might be a fun project some day.

Looks great!

Looks great so far!

Just finished this one today. The color is Duplicolor Chrysler Flame Red. All the chrome is retouched with FusionFirm chrome.
