  1. Bobby Griffen, his casting company Griffen Designs, and the masters done by folks like Tim Ahlborn are long gone. His castings were pretty good, but the resin he used with the thin thickness of his castings were subject to distortion over time, especially after building. Look at P&P Resinworks for future conversions. He's got a new, long hood already out for the upcomin little window Pete. http://www.ppvintagekits.com/CARS/Resin-Price_list.html
  2. Really nice build Brian. A.J.
  3. Here is a 1960 Chevrolet C30 rescue that I built using the Modelhaus body and wheels. A.J.
  4. Went to my LHS last Monday, and he was already sold out of the 12 or each that he had originally ordered. Said he'd try re-ordering some more and set a couple aside for me when they come in. Shop owner was surprised that they sold so fast. A.J.
  5. Turned out really nice. Thanks, A.J.
  6. It looks like you have 1969 Chevrolet Fleetside "Firetruck" MPC kit #0869 which was issued in 1969. Hope this helps. A.J.
  7. Love the Pepsi-Cola license plate! A.J.
  8. Wow that turned out fantastic. A.J.
  9. Very nice builds. A.J.
  10. And remember the Mack Junkyard Dog with the dented fiberglas nose.
  11. You might also consider using the chassis from one of the versions of the Ford L-series trucks from AMT/Ertl. Depending on what you are building, you could use the dump/tractor kit or the box van kit which jas a longer wheelbase chassis. A.J.
  12. If you look at the picture on the side of the box, that lower left clear part is a bed cover that fits between the rear of the camper top and the tailgate. There are two dimples in it where the hand rail fits in. A.J.
  13. Based on my experience with antique Mack fire equipment, it appears to be a 1938-40 Mack E75S pumper. These were equipped with a 750 gpm pump and a booster tank in the 200 - 300 gallon range. The three louvers on side of the hood were replaced six (two groups of three) beginning in 1941 Hope this helps. A.J.
  14. That is really nice. Very well done. A.J.
  15. One sweet looking Ram. A.J.
