  1. That's too cool, I'm digging the flat black paint job .
  2. Thank you all for the comments . I got some bench time today , got the engine plumbed and in primer, the exhaust is primed also its just loosely setting there . I'm not quit sure if the plumbing is correct , I used an old article by Ken Smith as a guide . Thank you.
  3. This is my B.R.B.O. entry I modified the cab a few years ago , thing got a little crazy for me so I packed it up and forgot about until recently, I was digging around looking for something else then found this I always wanted to get it finished , so this is my chance to do that . I hope I can get done before the dead line, I'm going to do my best . Happy New Year to all...
  4. I’ll give it another try , I’ll be doing a rebuild of a Kenworth 86 inch Aerodyne cabover that was started but never finished .
  5. I’m interested in trying this again , I had to drop out last year maybe this year I can get one finished . One question what if I started something years ago can I use that , it’s just some modification to the cab that’s all .
  6. Thanks for the comments . Unfortunately Work has me doing a lot traveling , I just don’t have time to work on this so I’m withdrawing from the BRBO . Hopefully I can get this finished some time . Thanks Mark
  7. I got some good bench time today , got the rear suspension finished , added some detail to the front axle . I don't know what the heck happened here . pictures are below
  8. Here is my GMC Astro Coke daycab .
  9. Thanks guys for all the comments . Nothing to report this month been out of town for work the last 2 weeks . Hopefully i can get bench time this weekend .
  10. Looks great Tom , I like the stacked trailer ideal . very cool
  11. Thanks guys for the comments . Well 3rd time's a charm I think I'm happy with the sleeper now, I took about another 1/16 off the top .I mocked it up with a stack and it's setting on the wheels now.
  12. Thanks guys for the comments . Steve thank you for the information . Tom I did take 3/16 off the top section , I think it still might a little high. (new pictures below) Oh yeah those green eyed girls will get you in trouble . LOL Ray those picture's help a lot , do you have any pictures showing the brackets on the back of the sleeper that the air foil attaches too? Hey Clayton thats a good tip Ill keep it in mind ,I got in a big hurry and glue everything together already , but looking at it I think its still too tall . Small update I did cut the upper section down ,it looks better but like I side above I think its still a little tall . what do you guys think? Im going to try using decal rivets never used them before .
  13. You right Scott , I learn't the hard way building the cabs , like you I found it much easier to build the cab first then put the interior in . Did get a little bit done , I couldn't save the frame rail luckily I had several laying around . also mocked up the taller sleeper . I need a little help from you guys , is the upper part of the sleeper too tall ? I kinda think it is what's your guys opinion ? I also got the decals for it today .
  14. I’ll be following this build , I got the daycab version for Christmas .
  15. This is what I'm building for B.R.B.O. Pretty much box stock other than the sleeper going to do a taller sleeper .
  16. I'll give another try this year , I failed big time in 2017 B.R.B.O . I would like to add this to the 2019 build off. I picked this up cheap at an swap meet , the frame is in bad shape ( broken and glue bomb ) the cab , hood , and sleeper are tape together .
  17. Hello All, I don't build to many car models mostly trucks , I'm going to try to build a model of an Nova SS that I had , I'm looking for a good set of Rally wheels like one in the picture. any help would greatly appreciated . thank you
  18. Every thing I did on this truck I learn from all you great model builders on here , I say a big thank you to you all. Mark
  19. Thank you guys for all the comments.
  20. HI All, The GMC Coca Cola daycab is done , just have to add the turn singles and CB antenna. Thanks for looking .
  21. Thank you Brenden , This one is done moved to under glass.
  22. Thanks Brenden , I had this kit for a while myself, I cut the cab down , then shortened the frame to make it a single axle then I lost interest in it so I packed it away for quite a few years , then I seen a picture of an old Coca- Cola Chevy Titan about the same time the Coke Peterbilt came , so I decided to dig this back out and give a new life . I'm hoping to get it finished this weekend .
  23. Brenden actually I got the lights from Auslowe , they are very nice . sorry for the slow reply work is crazy .
