Yes sir, a lil' bourbon and coca-cola goes good with those peanuts, after 5pm, of course. :wink: But, of course, it's always after five somewhere, isn't it? :grin:

Relax, and reload on another kit Lyle. You got the time! :lol:

Any more relaxed, I’d be comatose! Next one is started.

This one is back in the box for a month or so. MCW hasn't responded to two emails on the status of my order. I called them this morning and they did answer. Told the guy that I was looking for a status on an order placed about 7-8 days ago. His response was, "Oh, you have another three weeks or more. We are processing March orders now."

They have moved from Ohio to North Carolina.

I know how you feel. Between looking for replacement decals for the Fiat BR.20, canopy mask for another kit I've been working on, and needing a few colors for the Ki43-II "Oscar" - another kit I've been putzing around with, I can't get any motivation to go on.

Looks like my mojo is killing my mood to build for the time being. I might as well binge watch something on TV... :bored:

Found this, Lyle. We had a 1960 GMC pickup, a 62 Chevy 2 1/2 ton, and a 64 GMC 2 1/2 ton but I certainly couldn't remember what the dash looked like till I found the photo in the link.

I sent this seller an email asking for a straight on picture....now, to reduce it and keep some clarity.

Man, that photo brings back some memories! Wow, I can almost smell the musty old cab of our truck. It also had a big ol' chromed spotlight mounted below the windshield pillar, with an operating handle inside. That was fun too! :grin:
