No, so far this kit is fenderless.

Morgan Automotive Detail has a square body long bed and there is a new company in the resin section doing 85-87 grilles. Add a Fall Guy/Deserter kit and few bits of plastic to stretch the frame and you're good.

The Lindberg F150 4x4 also has stock early mod motor.

A straight conversion puts that at $69.

The last issue was good and crisp. The cab parts were a bit flashy since they get run for so many different kits but the wrecker body was clean and straight.

Last time it was $80 I believe.

I may get a couple of these depending on the price. I doubled my money on the one I bought last time but I would like to build one eventually.

I just recently used Duplicolor white primer under Rustoleum and they behaved themselves. Test it as always though.

That last one also may help with maintaining social distance.

Since the Parks part is aluminum you could probably gently deepen the fins by rolling it across a table top with a razor blade pressed into the bottom of each line.

I missed it the first time too and I'm very frustrated they chose to bring the roadster back for a third time before bringing the coupe back again. I was thinking of boycotting this issue of the roadster but it's the only way to get the small block and it has both sets of wheels so it's a parts box stuffer.

Wow, that looks very good. I could use a couple of those.

The coupe version is supposed to be coming later this year with the Buick engine from the first roadster version. If you want the small block Chevy engine you'll need to get it in the current roadster release.

Nothing about getting the clear lights on the GT would be easy, if you don't mind the scale I'd go with the Monogram GT kit. If you must stay with 1/25 the easiest thing to do is swap the front fascia but you'll still need to fill the grille area and put on the GT front skirt. Fortunately the hoods seem like a direct replacement which is good because they are shaped differently in the area where the front of the hood goes between the headlights. The body side mouldings are slightly different as well.

Yikes, this will require a front bumper transplant and a hood swap. I'll dig them out when I get home and see how close they are.

My understanding of Day 2 has always been mods made while the car was relatively new, primarily of a bolt on nature. I don't think an engine or transmission swap or a massive tub job qualifies. It's not that you can't do some of those things quickly but you wouldn't normally do it to a new car. That's more of a you just inherited grandma's grocery getter and you and a couple buddies drop in a v8 in a weekend over a few cases of brew kind of situation.

Yep, that's the issue I've got now. Someone said the angle of the front fascia is incorrect so it will be interesting to see if the Revell parts interchange.

I'm not upset, I'm actually getting a lot done now that I can stay home in the evenings. I'm indoorsy anyway so this is right up my alley.

I'm down for one of these. I need to drag out the older issue I've got and the Revell 90 and see if the Revell headlights fit the MPC kit.

I work for a natural gas utility so I'm right there with you. They're changing some of the ways we do things but I don't think it could ever get to a point where I don't have to go in. I'm fortunate I guess, I'm our only income so if I got sent home we'd be in a bad situation.

If you planned it correctly and cut the tooling all at once you could have kits for years from the same mold.

I've been looking into ways to make his life miserable today. I'm reporting him to every consumer advocacy group in Nashville and a local reporter who works the consumer fraud beat. There's no way I'm the only person he's done this to.

I use water based paint for window, the cleanup when you mess it up is much easier.

We just need an all new kit of this generation. This kit is rough by any standard and the popularity of these trucks could support a new tool, especially if it included options for long bed, short bed, step side, and 4x4 along with various years and custom options.

I think he thought after I drove that far sunk cost fallacy would kick in and I'd buy it even though it was worse than he let on. The thing is, it was practically the same car I've already got and he knew that. I have a pearl white 98 SC300 with a tan interior, the car was a black on black 98 SC400. The black interior is very rare in these cars and the 98+ 400s have a 5spd auto instead of the 4spd auto in mine, and the 400 is a v8 where mine is a straight six. My car has been maintained well and everything works though so why would I downgrade to a busted up car?
