DRIPTROIT 71

Looks Amazing! You are a master with this scale for sure!

Very cool project! Excellent craftsmanship!

Looks Awesome! A light blue chassis would set it off.

Beautiful job! I like it! I can almost hear that Detroit run.

The shifter is Evergreen plastic rod and the collar at the top is aluminum tube. The ball is a straight pin. The buttons are scrap styrene.

Thanks guys! Got a little more work done on the chassis.

Thanks Jim!! Thanks Victor! These were everywhere back in the day! I actually had one given to me but didn't want to pay the cost to have it towed to my house. Thanks Chris!! Thanks Warren!! Thanks Bob!! I thought that it needed a ramp if it was going to be a moving van instead of the lift gate. Thanks Mario!! Thanks Steve! The ride height of the truck is pretty close to the 1:1. I did lower the box a little as it is a moving van. Thanks Philippe Thanks Tommy!! The good thing about these old trucks is when that 345 let go, the entire front end could be taken off, radiator and all, in just a few minutes, with just a few bolts removed. Of course, you also needed a few people to help set the front end off as well. Thanks Larry!! Thanks Scott! That's a cool truck that you have there! I have the resin cab myself that I hope to build one day. Looking forward to seeing yours built! Thanks Andy!! Thanks Noah!! Thanks Brian!! Thanks Al! The front wheels are something that I cobbled together. They began life as rear spokes. I think that they were in the Revell Australian W900 KW kit. I cut them down, added a rim and a hub. They are not 100% perfect, but they look the part.

Very impressive! Very impressive indeed! Excellent work!

Thanks guys! I have a floor pan and shifter.

Thanks for all the comments guys! This one has the little back window. It is starting to look like a truck now.

Man I like this trailer! Looks awesome!

Looking good!

That turning out to be another real beauty!

I like it! Nice work!

Very impressive! The weathering is excellent!
