Re: New HW 69 Step
I was wondering if the coming of the '67 meant the '69 would be retired. There have sure been a heap of versions released. I'm glad that didn't happen,I really like the Stepside.
I have some '67s I wanted to paint over the winter...didn't happen. My thing is putting factory color on them. Might do a custom color or two this time around. I'd like to learn how they do graphics on these tiny things. One hang up is I also want to make some display cases for loose HW. The only one I have is stuffed to the max. around a half dozen promos. More like storage than display. No point in doing a custom to have to keep it stashed or set out collecting dust. This old log cabin and woodstove sure makes it hard to stay up with the dust. I did learn how they remove them from the blister pack and seal back up to look like they were never opened.
