Thanks, and yes I will try.

Okay number one love the job you did. However what difficulties did you encounter? I’ve heard hood issues ( tilt and clearance ). Anything else? Thanks Jerry

So I guess you could say I have some that need to be started, and in some cases finished. In any event come Springtime the paint will be flying, and the scent of glue will be prevalent. At this point I’m frankly lucky my Wife hasn’t said “Lucy you got some “splainin’” to do.

nice

How much were they and shipping did it cost to ship from Australia? Difficult to attach?

Very nice thanks for posting. Are those Auslowe tanks?

My AMT 1962 Belair in progress.

Thanks David. I just looked and the article I found listed Rustoleum 2X Clear Gloss, Krylon Triple Thick Crystal Clear as best results. Others listed had issues.

I love Trucks in the UK. Also loved 1960's/1970's Matchbox, Dinky, and Corgi diecast's as well. Also have an affinity to want to visit the UK as well. As I have part English in my blood it must be that I eventually visit.

Well done. I always have had an affinity for the CSeries (as well, and the Chevrolet counterpart) ever since I was a little kid. And it started with this which I received for Christmas around 1965/66ish(?). Marx Big Bruiser Ford tow truck. I am headed to NNL East this year, and will be looking for the CSeries in either the Hostess Straight truck, or Hostess semi combination.

Lee, Good morning hope it's well. Thank you for the reply. I thought I had seen that before somewhere but wanted to be correct. Have a great day and as always thank you for the help. Regards, Jerry

Good day. For anyone who has built the AMT Ford LNT/LN8000 would you mind posting pics of your finished product? Thank you.

Hello all hope you’re all well. Question I have just gotten a kit from the 1980’s and the kit decals look to be in pretty good shape. However how do I prep the decals to ensure that they play nice? As always all help is appreciated. Thank you. Regards Jerry

Here's what got me hooked on trucks back in the 1960's as a yute.

Just got this today after making a trade with Vettegasser. Since I’ve got a tractor version from the latest rePop on the bench I’ll probably build this box stock. Just need suggestions on using older decals. Do I spray them with clear?

Got parts I needed from Techman. Very helpful. Hopefully I can reciprocate in the future.

Made a couple of trades with Vettegasser. My latest item on its way from him. Great trader would definitely do trades with him again.

Made a trade with JohnnyG. Both items on the way to each other. Great trading would do trades again.

Have a number of options for livery. Choices are WX (Western Express), Hoosier Motor Lines, or the Dixie Transport decals all from the Autocar A64B kit, and the Outward Bound, or National Trucking decals from the Diamond Reo kit. Probably doing a White cab, and hood with contrasting fenders, and frame.

Then I have this from the parts box. California Hauler sleeper

I have put the wrecker parts up on the trading post section of the website. Looking to do her as a day cab tractor, or maybe slap a Mercury sleeper on her. Went to order decal stripes from Jerry Reeter's Model Truckin website and noticed that the shipping cost is $11.00. A bit steep as I thought that shipping used to be about $4.00 from his website.

Harvey good morning. No it's the latest re-pop from Round 2 Model (AMT #1133). No sleeper, and no additional parts slide plate, fifth wheel to make he a tractor. I actually am probably going to make her a tractor. I have a post on the trading part of this website where I am looking to trade the wrecker parts. Haven't had the 359 kit since the White, and Brown one since about 1977ish (?).

You mean overhang (the wheels being covered)?

Since I don't do plastic surgery I may have to do it as a tractor.

Anybody build this (I am pretty sure a number of you have)? If so I am curious to see what I may be in for for this build. On the fence about the tractor vs wrecker assembly. I know that there is no 5th wheel, slide plate included. Also looking at the instructions online it appears also no quarter fenders, or mud flaps in the kit. Also I would have to source the tow cable which presents another issue. That all being said this ought to be fun. As always any tips, suggestions, mentioning of me needing my head examined would be most appreciated. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is not, I repeat NOT a Revell USA snap version of the 359
