Matchbox Series No4 Dodge K Series Stake Bed Truck Restoration. 1966 to 1968 - 1-75 Series. This is the second Stake bed I am restoring. I bought it years ago at a swap meet. The body is stripped and ready for paint. The Citristrip does a great job and washes off. This is a good body to restore. The stripped version sits next to the last one I restored to original.
Lens mod: glue a piece of black card or stiff paper with small hole for aperture on reverse of lens. Make sure it doesn't foul focusing mechanism.
For more information see my blog at cameramods.blogspot.com/2011/09/easy-swirly-mod-with-extr...
With modification, row of (US) sc around circle, through back loop, following row through back loop only, then as per pattern.
The filter on my monotron didn't track the keyboard properly, causing low notes to have a different timbre than high notes. I solved the problem by removing R42 (normally 300KΩ) and replacing it with a 1MΩ trimmer potentiometer.

Quick tutorial on how to adjust an Argus C3 for electronic flash. As for the flash, you can modify the original stick flash to an electronic flash, add a hotshoe to the top, add a PC port somewhere for a flash bracket flash... many possibilities...
In a effort to keep our garden beds nice and humid I added a partial layer of plastic to them. It only 2.7 mil thick and is still covered with our old bed sheets.
the large hole along the side is the result of my first aborted attempt to put the logic board of a powerbook inside the plus case. originally, the ports from the laptop would have been accessed through the gap. you can see the power supply for the G4 and LCD, as well as the video cable snaking out (then back in) this gap.
Here is the actual "blueprint" that I used to plan of what I was going to do after I removed the mounting ring (it was a bayonet mount) and the aperture linkage stuff. The aperture stuff no longer worked as it had before once I removed the linkage stuff, so I had to get creative with what to do. Where it says "should be connected" in red, towards the bottom, I eventually created a little loop with a piece of paper clip and glued it to the outer metal piece and looped it over the inner one (which had to move up and down to focus properly). To boil it down: the plastic adjustment ring is attached to the metal ring which is attached to the aperture controls. The aperture ring doesn't click when I use it now, but it still does it's job. I needed some extra space between the lens and the camera body (it was actually too close) so I cut up some metal washers and glued those to the green highlighted areas, which were eventually glued to the actual mount. I'm sure that this is all relatively confusing, so if you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear what you have to say! A full "how to" on this is in the description of this set.
Another Matchbox Series No4 Dodge K Series Stake Bed Truck Modification. 1966 to 1968 - 1-75 Series. I didn't show it but the body has been painted a silver metallic that is actually a satin finish. I really wanted it gloss but I like this color for some reason. I used the color to restore my 65 Rambler dealer promo. My wife walked over with a box of the kids old 90's Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars that are pretty rough and she said maybe there are some good parts in here and there was this yellow truck box with all of the old cars. Kind of a silly side graphics but I was thinking maybe better than the stake bed.
The homeobox genes are my favorites; they are like “subroutine calls” that have powerful phenotypic effects. At the DFJ bionano gathering in HMB, Juan Enriquez is showing a genetically engineered three wing chicken from Tabin’s Lab. The gene that has been modified is affectionately called “Sonic Hedgehog” (his son really likes SEGA!)
Finished modification, complete with dodgy-looking red button!
I actually spent a good bit of time trying to get a combination of washers that looked good on the chrome plate
As I have shared on RCGroups, I bought my second Kaos kit as soon as I landed the maiden on my first. What a great airplane.
I just finished the wood work on my second. This one will have a complete set of lights so I had to make some modifications, including adding a faired tail light on the rudder.
I also had to modify the battery bay to accomodate a five cell pack. I had to do this on the first one as well.
In order to get her to balance I added a five ounce tail weight and moved the receiver to the rear of the wing saddle. Hatched for access.
You have made a great kit. Just a super kit and a great flier. Thank you!

A heavily redesigned "Type 2" variant (internally designated Typ 53B) went on sale in 1981, although it remained on the A1 platform. The second generation Scirocco, still assembled on behalf of Volkswagen by Karmann of Osnabrück (in the same factory as the first generation Scirocco), was first shown at the 1981 Geneva Salon in March that year. Designed by Volkswagen's own internal design team, the new car featured increased front and rear headroom, increased luggage space and a reduction in the coefficient of drag. One unique feature of the Type 2 was the location of the rear spoiler midway up the glass on the rear hatch. A mid-cycle update occurred in 1984, which included minor changes over the 1982 model: removal of the outlined "SCIROCCO" script from the rear hatch (below the spoiler), a redesigned air conditioning compressor, and a different brake master cylinder with in-line proportioning valves and a brake light switch mounted to the pedal instead of on the master cylinder.
Half way through the 1984 model year, a new space-saver spare wheel was added, that provided room for a larger fuel tank (with a second "transfer" fuel pump). Leather interior, power windows and mirrors, air conditioning, and a manual sunroof were options for all years. The 1984 model year saw the return of two windshield wipers (vs the large single wiper), absent since the 1976 models. Eleven different engines were offered in the Type 2 Scirocco over the production run, although not all engines were available in all markets. These engines included both carburetor and fuel injection engines. Initially all models had eight-valve engines. A 16-valve head was developed by tuner Oettinger in 1981, with the modification adopted by Volkswagen when they showed a multi-valve Scirocco at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. It went on sale in Germany and a few other markets in July 1985, with a catalyzed model arriving in 1986. Displacements ranged from 1.3 liters up to 1.8 liters. Power ranged from 44 kW (60 PS) to 82 kW (112 PS) for the 8 valve engines and either 95 kW (129 PS) or 102 kW (139 PS) for the 16 valve engines.
Numerous trim levels existed, depending on the model year and market, and included the L, CL, GL, LS, GLS, GLI, GT, GTI, GTL, GTS, GTX, GT II, Scala, GT 16V and GTX 16V. Special limited edition models including the White Cat (Europe), Tropic (Europe), Storm (UK), Slegato (Canada), and Wolfsburg Edition (USA) were also produced. These special models typically featured unique interior/exterior color combinations, special alloy wheels and had special combinations of options such as leather, multifunction trip computer and/or power windows as standard.
Scirocco sales continued until 1992 in Germany, the UK, and some other European markets. The Scirocco was briefly joined but effectively replaced by the Corrado in the VW line-up, although this had been on sale since 1989 and was aimed further upmarket.
The Scirocco continued to be offered to Japanese buyers, but only the GTi with the 1.8 L engine in either manual or automatic transmissions, but starting with 1986 only the automatic transmission was offered. It did continue to comply with Japanese Government dimension regulations.
JULIE-ANN (later JULIE, MACQUARIE LADY and HAWKESBURY WANDERER)
MV Julie before modification and renaming as Macquarie Lady
The story of the Ferry MV Julie that plied the waters of Wallis Lake in the early 1960s is convoluted and only recently have the details started to unfold. The information presented should be treated as a guide only and some details may be inaccurate.
The story is the result of the input from many including:
- Graham Nicholson and Chris Borough who jointly run the Flickr site Great Lakes and Manning River Shipping NSW
- Graeme Andrews – authority on shipping and widely published author,
- Mori Flapan – Naval Architect;
- David Saul – expert on fishing boats on the Richmond River.
- Rick Stockley - Brooklyn
One photograph taken by Graeme Andrews’ father in 1964 was the start of a quest to find more about the ferry MV JULIE the elusive vessel that plied Wallis Lake in the Great Lakes Area of the mid North Coast of NSW. No-one seemed to know anything of her - unusual as many people who live or visited Forster-Tuncurry are still around. The evidence is now strong that the MV Julie Ann was renamed the MV Julie when she was sold to interests in Forster.

Launch
The Julie-Ann was launched from Woodburn in mid December 1953 with Robin Day as Master. In late December she was operating at Evans Head as a cruise boat taking tourists to Schnapper Point. (Northern Star (Lismore, NSW) 28 Dec 1953)
Operation along Richmond River - 1954
The Julie Ann regularly operated as a tourist boat operating between Ballina and Lismore.
Altered and registered
The Julie Ann was altered and registered as Julie in late 1954 with Official Number 196420. She remained on the Richmond River until she was purchased and alterations made necessary for conversion to passenger work at Forster. By 1961 she was surveyed for 70 passengers and two crew.
Operation as ferry servicing air services to Wallis Island
A regular air service direct to Forster became possible when an airstrip was completed on Wallis Island in 1952. Butler Air Services commenced the service using DC3 aircraft. The launch ALMA G II (with backup service provided by Stan Croad in his launch the Lake Wallis) was used to transport passengers from Wallis Island from 1952 until December 1959.
Following a hostile takeover of Butler by Airlines of NSW, larger aircraft were put on the route and the launch Julie was put into service in early 1960. Funding for purchase of the launch Julie was provided by way of a mortgage from Airlines of NSW to local agent Jim Colliton.
The death of Jim Colliton in July 1964 caused difficulties for his family and the Julie was sold to local interests but was no longer used as a ferry service.
A new life for the MV Julie on Lake Macquarie
In 1966 the launch Julie was sold to J. Huxtable and in 1967 to I.W. Huxtable & D. Mullaney but it was not until 1968 (after she had passed survey) that she was bought by H.G. Anniwell and taken down from Forster to Lake Macquarie using her own engine
Operation on Lake Macquarie
From 1968 - 1994 (or probably later) she operated as a charter launch on Lake Macquarie. Initially owned by H.G. Anniwell she was bought by Fellows Swansea Bus Service in 1969 and then in 1980 to Warren Hollis Marine. Over time she was modified but retained the name Julie until reportedly renamed Macquarie Lady circa 1987 (see Ferries of NSW - Compiled by Alan Ezzy).
Sold to interests on the Hawkesbury River
Warren Hollis sold the Macquarie Lady to the Davey family who operated Hawkesbury River Cruises. She was renamed Hawkesbury Wanderer and was used as a standby vessel - observed at Brooklyn in 2008.
It is understood that she was sold and sunk while travelling south from Hawkesbury River - no details have been found.

I cut the strap off of the top of the apron and replaced it with a soft leather strap I cut. Then I sewed a vertical line in the top pocket so I can carry a pen or a screwdriver in it more easily. Since I was already screwing around, I put my name on it too. Round House sells these aprons for like 12 bucks and they're great for keeping stuff off of you when you're doing anything messy.
A few quick modifications I made to the Exosuit.
The first change was to the arms. I hated that pnuematic T-joint prevented the arms from extending fully. The problem when removing that part was the arm would hyper extend backwards and did not seem right. So I replaced www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32013 with www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32016 and using a small axle, extended it with a bush. Now it fully extends and the arm stops completely flat. I also extended the reach of the arm with a technic bush right after the elbow joint.
While it does not necessarily need it, the Exosuit was lacking in firepower. In order to attach something from the back, I had to change the position of the ball joint www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50923 . The part now extends to the side a little farther out, instead of up and down. The axle hole can be accessed easily now. Using nothing but technic parts, each shoulder has 4 mounted cannons that can move up and down and are independent of arm movement.

I plan on doing many modifications, especially to the arms. I really dislike those barrels so I plan on making the forearms more like the upper arms, and also plan on giving it articulation in the wrist, adding small spotlights to the top, making the base of the feet wider for stability, attaching another hose to the arms like the way the existing one goes to the legs (saw the idea on Reddit) and likely a whole lot more.
