Sam I Am

Many automotive manufacturers did the same thing....and still sold it under their moniker.

Thanks for confirming that for me Bill. I noticed that on the box the trailer had five spoke rims, and thought to myself, "cool". Big disappointment when I opened the box, just regular wheels. Fortunately I have a few extra sets of five spoke trailer wheels. I think I will go with a Detroit...

Every part of this build is just spot on.

Gotcha!

I thought the deadline was the same as previous years. End of December.

While I like multiple teams for different reasons, my main one is Seattle...and it was difficult watching them loose to a one armed quarterback at home. ?

Are the juices flowing again? ?

That is one wicked looking t-bird !! ?

The only station wagon Cadillac ever made. ? I really like this and might have to find me one of these.

Whichever way you go, it will turn out awesome. By the way, love your avatar! ?

That one sweet looking truck. Love the color also.

Un.......believable!!! You are just plain nuts, no wonder the squirrels like you so much. Go Bill's!!!

That engine is a model in its own right.

Thanks for that Dan. Looks like I should just build the trailer first.

So after mocking up everything. Cab is on the frame where the instructions recommend, pin on the trailer is centered in between the axles. Looks like 3.25 . So maybe take out two inches?

Thanks!

Thanks Jeff. Say, what paint did you use on the cab?

So figure this out. Over a month ago I submitted an Amazon order and added a bottle of Tamiya paint to bring my order to the free shipping minimum, and yes, it showed the item as "in stock". It didn't give me free shipping but I ordered it anyway. I then proceeded to forget about it. Today I received a package in the mail that I could not figure out what I ordered from that particular country. Tamiya paint is made in Japan, distributed through Tamiya America, Irvine California. Yet the package was shipped directly to me from New Taipei, Taiwan...

Great job Tom!

That is a great idea, and beautiful execution.

WoW! Thanks guys! I have not even looked online for reference material yet.

Finally decided to go with this. I received the cab in a trade with Jeff, and he said it was designed for a Titan chassis. (little does he know how many questions he is in for ?) So here is the starting point. The rest of the chassis will come from the parts box. First question. The Titan had a sleeper, this obviously does not. I personally think the truck would look better if I shortened the frame. Since I have not altered a frame on one of these, where should I take the section out, and how much should I take out. TIA

Taping things together to get an idea of what direction to take. If I can remove the hood bulge, I think the driver can see over the cowl. Tinted windows is a must. Not sure what to do with that Shelby valance. Maybe suck it up tight to the body... Hey, can a guy change his mind?

Thanks again.

Great album, and a great build! Send me your address, I am sure I have the headlight lenses. Oh, throw a tarp over over it, and send a pic to their website /Facebook/ Twitter, just like you have it with the album cover.
