DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) This began as an L8000 car hauler kit. The 3406 Cat is from one of the snap kits. It was tilted and modified for this project. Tires are from KJ at Doubletake, Front wheels and tanks are from Auslowe, Decals are from Jerry at modeltruckin, the rest is parts box.
