A recent $10 Rite Aid rescue. The Snake-Fu on this one took only about 2 hours: Sand the tire treads, paint the Rally Wheels Model Master Steel, Silver Sharpie touch up around the backlight, and disassemble to white-spot the lens stems on the headlights, turn signals, taillights, and backup lights. 

I like this one a lot. The only thing I can find to complain about is that the Z/28 stripes don't terminate correctly at the glass ends, but it would be a HUGE amount of work to strip and repaint them, so I'm living with them. Also, the Cowl Induction hood is incorrect for a '68--it didn't become available until mid-'69. But I like the looks of it and don't object to it. 

Did I mention that I like this one a lot?

Looks good.   Cool that these cars can be fixed into nice replicas in just a little bit.   Wish we still had Rite Aids.  Walgreens has taken over every chain in our town and either renamed them or closed them completely.

Thanks, all. I have a feeling you'll be seeing this one again, oh, around the first of September (assuming I'm still employed). B)

Uh oh, that's an ominous post.   Crossing my fingers that employment continues...

Well, I'm now in the sixth month of a 3-5 week temp gig. Nothing ominous on the horizon (they keep coming up with new stuff for me to do), but I assume nothing. I'm thankful every day I'm here. B)

(My last temp gig started as 9 months and turned into 5 1/2 years.)
