My first real new car was a 1976 Ramcharger. Paid for it with wage and hour reward. Was interesting purchase as sitting with dealer and choosing options from the list starting out with the 3 on the tree, 2wd, one seat, no roof, no soft top. Ended up with what I wanted except 76 was the only year they did not offer a 4 speed on the floor so I went automatic. Speaking of the roof; the dealer next year offered even trade for a 77 but only problem was frame was twisted and roof would not line up and seal. Interesting project and will waiting to see finish. greg

Since you are offering different rear bodies for the Ford pick up here is my suggestion: How about an ambulance body. One body that has a TV connection would be the seldom seen 1973 Ford Modulance type 1 ambulance. 4 of them Dietz gumballs from the wrecker would look good on corners of the box. greg

I agree with new 70 Dodge truck kits, They did the Chevies and Fords so it is time for the Dodge pick ups and add the vans (windowed) Nice Job Terry greg

Common sense is knowing your tidy whities are getting old when you have less lint to remove from the trap.

here is easier slam lock solution: greg

I can guess the ALF eagle on top of the roof. I used the bell from the Aurora 1/32nd pumper for smaller units. This modified Revell 57 pick up was done years ago matching the AMT ALF pumper body. To back date it I did the sides with the front fenders and used the Aurora ALF pump panel to reverse the operators side. Flipped hard suction and ladder positions,wound carpert thread around hard suction for age effect. greg

Great 'how to' and if I may offer some other tips. I use spray adhesive to adhere the foil to the project. The other tip from the late Bill and Andy is after you emboss the foil is to coat the back of the foil with white glue to fill in the dimples so they don't collapse. greg

Like Yoda to Luke: thank you for the instructions. greg

Fall is really Autumn but is called fall because that's what the *^%$^ leaves do!

Venice California was the home of Revell plastic models.

The extra fuel tanks from the Monogram 1/48 B 29 kit are oval if you think that they could be the answer pm me. greg

Great job on the model. just about the same time it takes for a department to get a real one. greg

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I now know how a Martian would feel when he lands on earth: At my part time post retired job I quoted "Alice's restaurant" yesterday and no one knew what I was talking about. I didn't dare mention WKRP's turkey drop. greg

Wow! great work I pity the south paw that had to operate that dozer🤣 greg
