Roger, Good evening. Thank you. And away we go. First step is to get rid of the ladder steps. No pun intended. Color scheme TBD. -

Well those of you that do not know I am a HUGE AC/DC Fan. One of my favorite songs they have done is Shot Down In Flames. That being said My 2022 KW W900 got shot down in flames yesterday afternoon. It was a nice day out so dopey (me) decided to clear coat the rig. Clear went on great. Then BAM!!! It fell onto the ground and got a lot of debris on it. So today I bought another Revell Peterbilt 359 to replace it. If it cannot be substituted for the build off I will just build it anyway for fun. A little bummed out but hey things happen. -
Just got in a trade

Thank you. AITM (American Industrial Truck Models) has the Diamond T conversion kit. You just have to find a donor chassis and assorted parts. -
Good morning all hope everyone is well. Just got this in a trade for the snowplow, and dump bed from the AMT L8000 snowplow. Plan is to build it as an Midwest day cab tractor. Have ideas for color scheme I just need the New Jersey winter weather to change to Spring and away we'll go. Will post pics as I go along. Regards, JerseeJerry

Had a good friend build me a headache rack. Was going to put it on my 2022 BRBO W900. However I like the look of the rack on my Pete 359. -

Gary, Thank you. Good question/ Unsure at this time. I may whip up a new one and either leave it factory fresh, or really concentrate on getting a better grime wash on it. I have a couple of other things planned in the works. One being a front visor, and the other being a surprise reveal. I just need to repaint the cab as I had an oops and had to strip it down. When the weather is better I'll reprime then paint her. Cab, and hood were painted the same color but I may go a different route on the cab color. We shall see. -

Yes when it snows I get bored. Not 15 again like I was in 1976 and I shoveled walks and driveways for $3.00 while everybody else charged $20.00 plus. 7 driveways, walkways netted me $21.00 and I then blew it on soda, and Ring Dings. That being said ever since I saw the original White Freightliner issue. The one with the Green CF tractor I wanted to build it. So during this snowstorm I got bored and started the build. Originally a Royal Blue cab I sprayed it over in John Deere Green last fall and put it to the side. I found an original set of CF/Allied Van Lines decals in my decals stash. They were intact, just a little slivering after applying them. So I brushed on some Microset and I’m satisfied. Also started the SD frame and so far so good. I will post as I go along.

Decided on a color for the cab, and hood. Rustoleum Apple Red. Using the kit supplied Seminole Striping. I always say I love these kits. Simple, easy, awesome. Endless possibilities for building it the way you want to build it. -

So as I ponder the numerous unbuilt, or started models I have I keep going back to my AMT 1968 Camaro Z28. The ‘68 is my favorite one of all time. I have been thinking of doing it like the Hot Wheels one I had as a kid. Thinking of painting it in Blue or Green. Could use some tips on where to source the following. A Stinger or Cowl induction hood. Wider rear wheels/tires. Traction bars. Distributor, and wires. Rattle can appropriate Green, or Blue gloss paints. As always any help is most appreciated.
