Bronzekeg Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 my first build of this kit. I have built the titan so I know what to expect. paint colors have been picked out and should be fun to build. I haven't built anything for several months so I'm looking forward to getting started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRiN Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Love the spiders on these vintage trucks. Alcola's to me just don't look the same. It's like putting 22's on a factory restoration of a Pinto to some people it looks but to most it's silly. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Excellent work on the chassis. Always thought the Astro design was way ahead of its time. Just look at that dash, the way it curved right around the driver and the big glass area for good visibility and well cooked drivers in the summer! If the engine didn't cook you the sun would!
