Dodge L700 garbage truck?
Chuck Most replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Late to the party but.... I've been poking around online because I be had a similar project in mind. I've found photos of exactly one on all of the Internet, from an episode of The Fall Guy. Things I keep going back to. 1. I'm not 100% sure if it's a functioning garbage truck or just something a television studio threw together, but, well, it existed in full scale. 2. I'm also not 100% sure that's a Garwood 900 body. Sure does look close to me, though. 3. The Garwood 900 went into full production in 1972, while the L600/700 went out of production in 1971. Any combination probably would be a later refit, assuming there was ever more than one L700/Garwood 900 in existence in the first place. Still thinking about moving forward on the project though. -

If it were a little more beat up looking it would resemble a real one that used to lurk around my area. -
1953 Ford F100

If he's the actual AMT Kat, I can't claim that was my intention. I just wanted to incorporate the Kat logo for whatever reason. -
I swear it's medicinal!

My favorite thing about the tail end of Johan was the chrome sprues. As has been mentioned, they would just run the parts in whatever colors they had handy. And since the plastic would be covered in chrome, sometimes they'd just throw whatever odd bucketfuls of colors that I imagine they'd swept off the floor. If you ever strip the chrome on a later Johan part, be prepared for anything. It might be the same color as the raw plastic. Or not. Could be several colors. I've seen a few that were a treat of psychedelic swirls of color once the chrome came off. 🤣

Oh... Don't think for a second that basically that same idea HASN'T crossed my mind. 😁 I don't think there'd be much Australian about it, more like Chrysler wanting a cut of that sweet sweet Ranchero/El Camino market. I always thought it was odd that Chrysler didn't get into that market until the Rampage/Scamp.

AMT 1960 3-in-1 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck

I don't think so. I got my M months mixed up. -
AMT 1960 3-in-1 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck
Chuck Most replied to rekcirb13's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I asked my local shop a couple months ago and they said their supplier was saying late March. Well, I think they blew that deadline. 🤣 -
I slept on this kit until yesterday. It's a convertible, a muscle car, and a Chrysler product. Three things that normally don't grab me. Any combination of two sure, but not all three in one subject. 🤣 But I'm definitely getting a hardtop version whenever that materialized, as long as it still includes that trailer. Anyway, I bought one just for the trailer. But the kit itself has got me thinking. I've been searching around online (with no luck so far) for a four door sedan body. Have it be a police car, or leave the R/T badging and do a what if '60s performance sedan.

1977 GMC Wrecker DONE
Chuck Most replied to bobss396's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Jay's wheels and tires are always good. Those look perfect on this one. Awesome work on that bumper... looks like it's up to the job of pushing another vehicle and/or light demolition work. 😁 -
1996 Chevrolet C-3500 Dually

Very nice! I used the same mirrors on the two I built. Weird how AMT provided those mirrors in the '92 and not in the kit they actually belong with. 🤣 -
Kitbash of the old MPC Heavy Pedal kit and the AMT Ertl GMC Sportside. The wheels and tires are from Scenes Unlimited. The whole mess is hosed off in Krylon Sea Mist. Needs some cleanup on the side markers and some touchup on the grille but I might weather it later on. Guess we'll see what happens.

Boeing's 737 problems continue...
Chuck Most replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
All I'm going to say is... Hey ... Lockheed? Might be an opportunity to get back into the airliner business. Jeez, tap into the retro zeitgeist and make a new L-1011. -

Sucks about the decals, that's been an on and off Round 2 decal problem for a while. I know this kit can be a bit of a challenge but it looks like you got a nice finished result. I'm definitely getting a couple anyway, mostly for the four wheel drive drivetrain doodads.
