WOW that’s awesome. My Mom had a 59 2 door. Blue with a Blue interior. She paid $2,500.00 brand new loaded. -

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 -

Older decals how do I prep them

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. -
Ford C600
JerseeJerry55 replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
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. -

Older decals how do I prep them
JerseeJerry55 posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 -

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.

Was at Walmart today

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. -

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.
