Bills72sj Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I am not sure what my official entry will be. I have restarted an AMT KW T-600 Canepa that stalled mid 2007. The engine is assembled and the body is painted so I am not sure it qualifies. It will (hopefully) not be the only big rig I tackle this year. I do have some goodies in the stash waiting their turn. Count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete68 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Rog.

Pete88, you should be able to edit you post and change the title and picture. Click on the 3 dots in the upper right of the post and it should give you that option. If not, we will have to get with a mod. I can't delete or change other people's posts. Rog😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked it over with some of the powers that be, and we feel that the Canepa is a little too far along for this build. I will put you down as a ? hopefully you will come up with something.

Warren D Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm in but haven't decided what to do yet. Last year's entry got hung up (still not finished) waiting for parts etc so I'm looking for a project that I have everything in stock (or know I can get quickly). Hoping to decide in a few days.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I know that there are already a couple of Freightliners in the mix, but put me down for a CF Freightliner Pusher truck.
