  1. A terrific looking build! I'm curious about how that 1/2-cab looks inside the bed... especially the back-wall of the cab. I have the first issue of this kit with the full roof and have wondered how different the 1/2-cab looks.  If you could post a pic showing inside the bed more to satisfy my curiosity that would be great!

    Also curious if you know where you got those wheels and tires from?

  2. I am looking to trade for the following front suspension pieces, radiator and firewall pieces from the 1/25 AMT/Round2 1967 Ford Mustang kit.  These same pieces can be found inside the '67 Shelby GT350 kit and/or multiple reissues of each of these kits. 

    Lower front suspension Piece #20
    Front wheel spindles Pieces #21 & 22
    Tie rod Piece #23
    Radiator Piece #49
    Firewall Piece #45

    These pieces can be fresh-from-the-tree or from a built-up if in good, restoreable condition. I am not interested in a complete kit; just these parts. I have a fairly extensive parts box to trade from; I am located in Illinois.  Thanks!

  3. Mike,

    I'm sorry. 

    When I read your post title, I overlooked the word Daytona and thought you were looking for a Charger kit. For that reason, I thought your request was too vague, and I responded in what I thought would be a helpful way.

    I was wrong for posting what I did.

    I'm publicly offering you my apology here

  4. Excellent build! I'm just starting this kit and have been doing a bit of 1:1 research. The kit's instruction book says to paint the engine block a metal color but I've also seen 1:1 pics showing a large variety of different engine block colors. 

    Was curious if anyone has any info about 1:1 engine block colors for Land Rovers of this era? In some of my research, it almost looks like the factory painted the engine block in the same paint color used on the body... is that a possibility?

  5. 1/16 scale? 1/24 scale? 1/25 scale? 1/43 scale?

    1966? 1967? 1968? 1969? 1970? 1971? 1972? 1973? 1974? 2005? 2006? 2018? 2021?

    I'm not trying to be a "smart-a__" here, but your description doesn't really "say it all". 

    Please provide as many details as you can whenever making a Wanted post... I don't think it's possible to provide too much information about what you are seeking... and pictures are extremely helpful, too!

    Thanks

  6. Nice build... especially when accomplished in 24 hours! I started thinking about where I would start if I were to attempt a build in 24 hours, and I can't answer my own question!

    Did you start with painting major components, like the body, interior tub, chassis? Then, while those are drying start on the engine and wheels?

    Anyone who's done a 24 hour build, help me understand your method!

  7. Stunning work here! Your modifications, detail, paint and weathering work are all exceptionally good. 

    I have always wondered what motivated the truckers of the day to nickname these "Crackerboxes"... curious if it was just the way these cabovers felt like after logging a few hundred miles in one or if there's more to that nickname.

  8. Two outstanding builds! I often rate how much I like a build based on a question I ask myself, "How much would I like to have that model as a 1:1 parked inside my garage?"  About 3-6 times a year, I see a build where the question's answer would be a resounding, "Yes!"  I gotta say "Yes!" to that little White beauty you've posted here!
