This is one of my favorite Army trucks, I am glad to see someone replicating one.

Body painted, sanded and polished on the Buick. Decal work started. This one is getting close, looking forward to finishing it up soon.

You did a very nice job with this. You really nailed the look of the truck, in my opinion. I also own a '49 2R5 and would love to see a kit or resin of one some day.

Any chance you are gonna make more of these? If so, I would like to buy one.

Finished up the Hardee's Lumina.

My first car was an 87 Turbo Coupe. Gunmetal Gray with a blue and gray interior. Automatic trans, which went out at 163k. It was a fun car though. Nice paint job, I'm enjoying the build.

Yes, I am thinking of the whole interior tub. I think the seats are molded into it, right?

Good to know, thanks!

JC, you build some of the most interesting cars. I've never even seen many of the kits you build. They are always a fun follow!

Wow, those look great! I assume that's the AMT thunderbird chassis? Is it stretched, or stock wheelbase? Where do I get one of these?

Started it, lost interest. Engine partially assembled and primed, rear suspension assembled, front nose glued in place. All parts are there. Also have a set of decals for the Dale Earnhardt silver anniversary car. Looking for: Early 80's Nascar Buick hood 67 fairlane seats 72 Torino interior tub/ seats Revell 49 Merc Ice Patrol Chevy w/snowmobile 64 comet Monroe Handler mustang decals I know some of these are long shots or not equal in value, so Whatcha got??? I also have a post in the wanted section with a few items. let me know if I did that wrong.

I am looking for the monogram Buick Regal hood from the early 80's Nascar kit. Its the last thing I need to finish the model. Also looking for the stock seats to the snap kit Johan 72 torino, and the stock seats from AMT 67 Fairlane. Let me know what you are looking, for, I may have it. I'm also posting a list in the trading post of stuff I am not using. thanks, Ben

Russ Wheeler car is almost finished. I mixed up some blue and white to try and match the decals. It looked good on the paper, but dried a bit darker over the orange. You have to be pretty close to tell though. This wasn't ever going to be a serious build, so I'm not too bothered by it. A few more decals and it should be done.

John, I might have a bottle of that in my stash. I'll take a look. I also found part #55 on one of the sprues, Dave. Where does it go on the car? More progress:

Nice! Love those old trucks.
