Moebius F100 4x4- Out of Stock?
maxwell48098 replied to mikemodeler's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I happened to buy the last two at my local hobby shop this afternoon. He got 12 in on Thursday that he ordered two months ago, and my purchase was for the last two that he had. He's got another dozen on order from his distributor, but he hasn't received a promise date as to when they'll be shipped. A.J. -
1978 Dodge Power Wagon
maxwell48098 replied to Ironman63's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
While on ebay, look for one of the 8' beds from several of the older MPC Dodge pickup kits as well. The 8' bed can be sectioned down to the 6' length you are looking for. This in exactly what Don Holthaus did to create the master for their resin conversion. A.J. -

1/25 AMT '64 Chevelle El Camino Retrospective
maxwell48098 replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I like how this particular kit was priced at $1.59 down from the $2.00 retail price. The "200" after the 8734 was the suggested retail price AMT printed right on all of their kit packaging. The first $2.00 kits were the '60 Pickups and the double kit 1925 Ford Model T kits A.J.- 8 replies

Anyone make a resin 1 ton dump bed
maxwell48098 replied to fordf-100's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed

Anyone make a resin 1 ton dump bed
maxwell48098 replied to fordf-100's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Here's one I built using an AAM resin conversion kit. I built it in 1995 using 1993 issued AMT kit 6835 1993 Ford F150 Flareside pickup combined with All American Models resin conversion kit, which included the one ton wheels & tires, dump box and long wheelbase chassis. The front suspension from the F-150 was modified to raise the front end height and the heavier rear axle and suspension are from the parts box. Front bumper and grille were modifed to base level, argent painted components. Color is Krylon industrial orange. -
Maybe AMT could put the '32 Roadster, Coupe, Sedan, Touring, and Victoria all together as a set in one box? Lots of part swapping opportunities there.

29 Ford Pick Up.

Really nice!! A.J. -
When I was a Chrysler Corp service rep back in the 1970's, I had one of the very first Lil Red Express trucks produced as my company vehicle. It received some minor body damage in transit and got diverted to company car service are the roof dent was repaired. The engine in the one I drove actually had black valve covers as it was a police package A-68 engine. Talk about a quick truck! I drove it 1,000 miles then sold it to a dealer for resale as a "used" vehicle. The dealer principal loved the LRE so much, he used it as his demo for almost a year. Here's my build that was done way back in 1979.

Mack "R" vs Mack DM600
maxwell48098 replied to Luc Janssens's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
In addition to the obvious cab offset, DM series (produced from 1966 - 1988) chassis were much heavier duty than the standard R series (produced from 1965 - 1990) . Mack also offered the RD and RM (1971 - 1990) series which basically the heavy duty DM chassis with the R-series cab. -
I only bought from him when he was a toy shows WITH product. He'd sometimes bring one of his masters and try and get folks to buy them in advance. Two guys I know, did that and never got their conversions despite paying him at the shows. A.J.

Window door frames
maxwell48098 replied to 03Marauderman's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
One thing not to overlook is that the sedan roofs were usually about 2 inches higher than hardtop roofs. Look at Joe's images above and you can see the difference. A.J.
