  1. I photograph all the surfaces of the actual truck at 90 degrees, straight on. Then size all the photos to 1/43 scale using a color copier. Then I cut out all the various body panels i.e. cab, sleeper side, hood, front grill etc. from the photo copy, coated card stock and assemble them to foam core bulkheads mounted on an existing toy plastic bare chassis. There is allot of cutting and fitting involved. I touch up any rough spots around seams etc. with a color matched water based paint. Basically the whole body is constructed of paper.
  2. I am currently building my 7th digital replica for a customer, similar to the ones pictured in my photobucket. After taking photos of the 1:1 truck, I scale the photos then cut out all the various pieces of the body and mount them to bulkheads attached to a plastic chassis. the finished product being a 3-D digital replica. Most of the models have either Fiber Optic or LED lighting. http://s1281.photobu.../?sort=3&page=1

  4. More pictures of my 40 year old build along with photos of my rear engine, Vega F/C and my scratch built 1/43 scale Western Stars. http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/bobgillespie/library/?sort=3&page=1
  5. Excellent! Reminds me of my racing days back in the early seventies, running a front engine, C-Gas Dragster with a small block and the same Hilborn Injectors as on your model.
  6. Built this 1/25 Camaro F/C 40 years ago. Combined and heavily modified number of kits including, Monogram body. Revell chassis and engine. Interior panelling is made using muffler tape. The car is fully plumbed and wired. Working parts include, steering, parachute and extinguisher release cables, throttle linkage from the pedal to the injectors.
