Lenny who once owned Fantastic Plastics from Hay Terrace in Easton PA had some prototype box art from AMT truck kits but he retired and I lost contact. If you can locate him he maybe helpful, he had a lot of knowledge about AMT.
Hey Mark, Nice design and build, looks really sharp. I like how you made the lights, remember you can never have enough lights. This would make a nice 1:1 to drive, I'm impressed. Keep up the good work.
Gordon, the first trailer is out of the box, on the second trailer I cut off the center suspension to make the spread axle and on the last trailer I just cut off the lead axle suspension. These kits are really nice to build but one thing I found was that the axles are too wide and cause the tires to extend beyond the side edge of the trailer so they should be narrowed. It's an easy fix and makes a big difference. If I remember correctly DOT regs state that trailer tires/wheels cannot extend past the outer edge of the trailer.
Hey thanks guys for the info. Tim (Tims Trucks) built a sharp looking 358 wrecker and I thought he said the hood conversion was a Bill Drennen casting, but could be a Clint Freeman. I'm working on a couple of reissue "little windows" and have a 351 conversion from AITM for a short WB city tractor and wanted a 358 hood for the extended WB road tractor.
Looking for a Bill Drennen 358 hood conversion. I know P&P resin had them at one time but I am not able to contact Eric or Kelly. Hope they are okay. Does anyone know a point of contact for Bill Drennen?
