Another Mustang STGB - Ford Mustang! Chat
busnproplinerfan replied to vppelt68's topic in Ford Mustang STGB
ok, sign me up, I'll try to get something started soon. Planning on Jim Morrison's '67 Mustang, hence why I'm asking about wheels. -
NOTE, I thought this was a E350, it's an E250. I'll try to edit the posts here with the correction. Been thinking of this one for some time. Been a fan of Terry Fox since he did his run across Canada. Unfortunately he didn't finish, I was to young at that time to know what was going on. He was born in Winnipeg and moved to B.C. sometime when he was young, so there is a connection to me since I to was born and still in Winnipeg. I decided to make a model of the van used. It's a 1980 Ford Econoline 250 campervan. It was leased from Ford when new and returned after Terry died. It then went to a couple of owners as a camper and ended up in Vancouver after being used by a band. The van itself has a happy ending. It was bought and Ford Canada did a full restoration on it. More of a preservation, there's a neat story of it online. It took a week to clean the carpet in it. It's in a museum in B.C. now. Someday when I get out west I'll take a look at it. The only Ford van close to the one used on his quest is the AMT '77 Ford. All the kits of that van are the same aside from a few options in each, namely wheel options. I had to get the surfer version since it has the stock wheelcovers. I did get the AMT car body car trailer hoping to use the wheels covers from it but they are a bit different. I have one other van for parts, it's one that had the quarter panel extentions for a dirt bike deck. It was built but badly done. It's being used as the donor for the body panels that I need to lengthen the new one. I cut out the rear doors and glued them on to replace the sliding side door. Thought I was home free till I started looking for a good side view to measure the length of the rear extension. I found a good picture of the same type of van and sized it on screen to the model. The side doors are 3mm narrower each. The side windows are square. So the rear and side doors are completely different. I had to remove the doors and section 3mm form each. Now to rebuild the rear. Here I'm attempting to make the body as straight as I can. It'll take awhile for the glue to dry. On the backside is the grill under the clothes pins.

Is that official from pfizer and doctors? I heard that to, just know they're making big money on them. The top docs here just said it may not be needed, But see what happens.

Does anyone know where I can get or has a set of Plamoz's '67 GT-500 wheels in 1/25? i was going to buy a set and now they don't make them. They are a night and day difference to the AMT ones. Also is it to late to join this group? -

I was thinking of starting a club of non cell phone people. It would be up there with my anti procrastination club which I'm still working on a start date for.

And your supposed to be the superior province well according to some.

We are required to apply for a QR code or actual card two weeks or so after the second shot. I don't have a cell phone(one of the last three in the world) so I'll need a card. Unfortunately the provincial gov't didn't think so many people would opt for the card leading to a long wait for some. My only problem with that is why not have the card automatically issued once you get the second shot. I guess that's the gov't for you. Some people are having a hard time because one vaccine location lost the records to a lot of people for their first shot and now can't get the card. See how that plays out.

I just got my second shot two days ago. No problems except for a hard headache from from the heat to air conditioning which I get fairly often. Phizer is all they were giving out at that time. I heard yesterday Canada now has enough vaccines(66 million) for 33.2 million of 12 and over. I don't know if that includes those who had shots already. Unfortunately there's a chunk of the population who refuse to get it. Some Dietsch Mennonites for example who have dual citizenships here are even moving to Mexico and S.America right now so they can avoid it.

Seems like the trend for airports that say they want to "expand" and don't care about any museum or stored aircraft. Obvious all they care about is the money.

Didn't think he was 72, but they have been around for some time. Love their music. -
