Jonathan, I guarantee that you wont build it as quick as you do all your stuff. lol I had one back in the late 80's but never built it. Shortly after getting married in the early 90's my wife wanted to build a kit, so i told her to take her pick of my stash. She pulled out the Enthusiast kit, and I told her what it was all about. She did it. and did an AWESOME job with it. Is it perfect? nope, but what an awesome job with an awesome kit. Watching Geofff build his, I went and bought a few more. Now I get my chance. Yes, I think they are the most detailed kits built, and their parts count are unrivaled.

Looking sharp !! That interior will really 'pop' with the second color.

All of us do. My wife has not had the time in the last few years, but she enjoys it. the three boys all build. They enjoy it as well.

Sure Bill, I know that the bodies can be modified to fit the slot car chassis.

Hey all, I have a Scalextric 1/32 track and was wondering if anybody had any cars or track they would want to trade for models. The track I have is the sport version. Cars do not need to be scalextric, they can be other brands. If you happen to have If you happen to have a complete Carrera track set, I would be interested as well. Thanks for looking !

Leaning toward day cab.

Thanks guys !!

Thanks everyone, I never knew the cabs had issues, this is the only one I bought. lol Hope to get back on it soon.

Yea, I grabbed the wrong link.

Even though I have not touched it in a few years, its made its way back into the light. I hope to get back on it soon, so here is where I'm at... The trailer for it...

An old friend of the family used to build big rigs. She did excellent work and was still building into her early 60's. When she passed from cancer, her husband wanted to know if I wanted her models. I was very honored. I have about 8 original built ups from the '70s that need to be restored. This one she did not get finished. She had the chassis assembled, and part of the interior done. I finished the interior, and painted it. Adding custom lettering and a matching trailer.

Awesome work !! I really like it when a truck is modeled after a 1:1. I have a few that I want to build, modeled after the ones my father-in-law drove.

Build it, stick a Cummins in it and show CAT you just improved their design.

Ok, started a wanted thread with stuff to trade.

Thanks everyone, I have purchased from Eric in the past. He does very nice work. If I cant trade for what I need, he will be seeing me again. lol

Thanks Ben !!

Thanks Jonathan, I did not even think of the 378. (going off to look)

Funny how things come together for inspiration. We have been working on this Pete at our shop and the more I looked at it, the more I was impressed by it. Its just a sweet rig. We are replacing a front fender and re painted the other one. I will have a completed pic next week. I have taken many reference pics. Its a 379, with a double sleeper and a 24.10 ft wheelbase. I did a quick search for a 379 kit and came up dry. I have not looked for a resin trans kit. If anybody knows of one, please speak up.

This is awesome !! I wont "borrow" any of your ideas, oh no. One day I'm just gonna take 'em and run !!

My 96 Suburban, both 93 Grand Cherokee's, AND my 1942 Ford GPW (the original "Jeep")are all registered as CARS.

I live in a state that has separate plates for Pick Ups and cars. Jeeps, unless it is a Pickup, are cars. They see it as an SUV, not a "truck".

I already found my Revell fully opened '57 Nomad, and added the matching 55-7 Belairs. Other than that, I wont know my next "graille" until I see it. lol

Ditto, no matter what the car/truck, and it did not matter how whoever had it before me drove it. I have never had to replace the clutch while I owned it. Must not be just me either, my father-in-law drives truck, In 30+ years and four different trucks, the shop never replaced a clutch in any of his. They all had 300,000+ on them

Thanks everyone. Gluhead, the red one lined op perfect, the blue one did not. Go figure...
