So that's what the new reissue of the Volvo looks like....I see a few new chrome additions and decals.....I'll surely grab a couple of these....

I just love the SAR's, they are ugly as sin, but I love em!

I've been wanting to post some of my recent acquisitions, but I haven't had time till now, but i've gotten these in the last month or so. I wanna thank Mr. Dave Chivers for the great trade where I got one of my grails, the movin on KW!

A little correction on the Kenworth....

It is not SAR. Not yet. The S 900 models were designed and manufactured in the USA and they were the first KWs exported to Australia. Australians wanted K100 models but they were not sufficient for their road conditions.

The SAR model is Australia´s own design and manufactured in Australia.

I nabbed a Illini Sterling SBFA resin cab a few weeks ago. Ill probably use the Autocar Dumper as the donor kit

I also got my hands on a model car mag from 1969 with an article on the California Hauler.

Heres an ad advertizing the Calfornia Hauler, but the pic is of a 351, not a 359.

[tbill]

no pic's yet, but picked up a sealed Mack Cruise Liner, and got another GMC General, and some other bits and parts, also bought a ton of decals for all manner of big rig applications

That ton of decals wouldn't be the ones that just sold today on eBay would it?

[tbill]

Sam, no, I got all the above stuff at a show today.

[Superpeterbilt]

Heres another vintage magazine I scored. It has an awesome article by Phil Jensen on converting a Dodge L700 into a Diamond Reo. I figured it was going to be a resin conversion, but he gives the patterns to make it out of wood!! This is too cool!!

That's not a SAR mate, as previously mentioned the SAR was an Australian built truck, Short Australian Righthand drive is what SAR stands for. They came out after the S models.

Rob and Truckabilly - thanx for correction. Here' s KW Bullnose, full resin kit incl. PE parts (not Illini replica).

Just got all this in the other day. All sealed. I hate seeing the old department store/flea market price tags on these kits. Theres nothing like dropping $80.00 on one of your grails, and seeing that someone found it at a garage sale for $8.00

[Old Buckaroo]

It took me over a year to find one of these kits back in May. Just like anything else - once you get one in the stash, you find them everywhere.

$55.00 BIN off the Bay !

Congratulations Sean! I know youve been hunting that for awhile. Ill admit that Ive never been that interested in this kit until I saw Jardas(Truckabilly) build of this truck on another forum. Its quite spectacular. I kinda want one now.
