Sam I Am

Love junkyards, I bought a huge one a few years ago...then moved...now I don't have room to unpack it and find anything.

No kidding...that is the most convaluted thing I ever saw.

Thanks again Greg, I will be using a combo of the kits crossover and your upper connection... baffle them with baloney. Bill, here ya go, it is Duplicolor.

You might mock up some tanks and boxes below the frame to see if that pulls the height down, esthetically speaking....before cutting more off the top.

All I can say is "WoW!!!"

WoW JC ! First Falcons and now Datsuns. I have owned three of these 620s and would love to find another one. My '78 2.0 5spd with a Weber was the most fun to drive. I built a number of the old MPC variations as a kid. Now you will have me looking for another one.

Everyone has been so helpful and supportive, thanks all ! So I have all the basic interior pieces painted and after some detail painted and assembly will be ready to go. Also have most of the chassis finished and had to sit the cab on for a mockup.

Thanks Jeff, it is Tamiya TS-30 over Tamiya grey primer.

Oh wow, now I will start looking for one of my own. You guys are not nice....

Thanks Jim, that picture shows me where the air filter stack goes in relation to the top of the cab. There is no spot on the air filter assembly showing where part #7 should attach. This also shows me where the exhaust stack goes in relation to the air intake stack. Part #10 that goes from the crossover pipe to the stack is missing from my kit. So your pic shows me what my height should look like and once they are glued down I can bend my own #10

Getting more fiddly bits sorted, painted, and attached. One question for those who have built this kit with the single exhaust. Can you please post a pic here of how the air intake/exhaust stacks mount up. The instructions are a little vague and I may even be missing a part...

Funny how sinks turn into parts washers...spray booths...etc.

Looking good Bill!

Hmmm. Now I need to figure out which thread needs the kettle corn and which gets the extra buttery.....

I agree about the sleeper.

WoW! I really want to add plumbing to one of my builds someday. Thanks for the great pics as well as the specific items you use. I forsee a trip to HL or Michael's in the near future.

Thanks guys! Don't worry Bill, it will all come to a screeching halt soon. Had to see what the color would look like on the cab

Whoa ! Put some pants on dude !! Seriously though, great detail in this build and am glad you resurrected it.

Super clean work. Love the color. Years ago my father in law drove a 1983 Mac dump truck. I have been collecting everything needed to reproduce it.

Hmmmm....I think I need to get a case of popcorn.

Okay, here is the basic rolling chassis. It even sits square. Woo hoo!

Thanks Jim, the bench is small so it gets cluttered easy....but at least I am back at it. I am planning on a satin black chassis, and a GM color, Bright Aqua for the cab and wheel centers.

Nice lineup Jim! This is my first cab over, so I do not have anything to compare it to. Chassis is ready for primer as well as the engine. I do not know if I am making progress or just a big mess. lol

So who wants to build this ? https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/this-creative-genius-macgyvered-an-rv-out-of-a-fire-truck-semi-and-wrecker/ar-BBTaJ0e?li=BBnbfcL
