At today's DAAM show in Waterford Twp, MI, Round2 announced that a Mack B-61 semi will be released a year from now. Didn't get to speak to anyone manning the display, so I'll let someone who did provide more details.

When I worked in a 1:1 body shop decades ago, when we'd splice two totaled Chevelles together to make one good one, we'd always did it at the base of the A-pillars where they'd meet the cowl/firewall. A.J.

Outstanding build. I remember being 9 yrs old and building one of these as a stock car, painted bright yellow with roll bar, numbers, and sponsor decals. Back then, one of the local race tracks in our area featured convertible stock car racing. My dad and I went to the race track nearly every Saturday night in the summer to watch those races. A.J.

My uncle Henry was a cigar smoker and I had him save the wrappers for me. I used them for bed floors, and even the side panels on the original MPC woody kit. A.J.

There is an acronym for this COIK = Clear Only If Known.

Very nice build that brought back lots of memories for me. When I worked for Chrysler, I had one of these as my company vehicle. For the time, it was unbelievably quick, and even with a Sure Grip rear axle, the rear tires broke loose, even when going from first to second gear at full throttle. Around town, it wasn't too easy on gas, but on the Interstate, it would get 24-26 mpg. Only got to drive it for about six weeks before it was replaced by a 1978 Dodge Ramcharger with a 440, but that's another story. A.J.

I've used this since my original can of "Ford Engine blue" from Eastwood ran out. I can't tell the difference. A.J.

Really nice build. FYI, the actual body name for these fendered Dodges was "Utliline" and Step Side was the GM name for their fendered pickups. The smooth sided Dodge were referred to as "Sweptline". A.J.

Remember one other tip when taking pics with a smart phone. Always take the photos with your phone turned sideways. That way you picture will be filled with more of the model you are photographing, and less of the background. A.J.

Very, very nice. A.J.

Yep, back-in-the-day, we used to say that "When the van's a rockin', don't come a knockin'." Of course nothing smelled worse that wet, moldy shag carpeting that guys used to line the interiors with. A.J.

Outstanding build. I worked at a Ford dealer prepping new cars back in the late '60's - early '70's. I prepped several of these, but my favorites were the Mustang Boss 302's and 429's. But you cpould break the rear tires loose even on the Galaxie GT boats! Looks right on. A.J.

That was the first "truck" kit that I ever built, followed by the IMC Dodge L700 and AMT Peterbilt 359. A.J.

I've done this using the spare wheels from other F250s that I've built without spare wheels/tires. A.J.

Here's where I got mine. https://stsupplyco.com/collections/scenes-unlimited/products/m53-1-25-ford-bb-wheel-tire-set A.J.
