Very nice work so far , looks like very challenging plastic to work with also

Good start!
Really like the doubles paint scheme , but there's 1000s of options !
Seems like amt has parts from other kits molded on their sprues, might be the case here

Man the King s cars really rode around to the tracks in style back then ! Looks like the teams built whatever they needed to travel .
Good looking project so far !

Glad to see ya puttering away on your build ! The colors looked good together, but hopefully your able to recover from the repaint.
We extended the deadline till dec 31st , so there's plenty of time
I've been working outside trying to finish a 16x16 deck , almost finished shy of the spindles. 1st time making stairs..like scratchbuilding w a different medium lol

Killer truck!

well done arrangement, shows the cramped worked space these crews faced at tracks ! the one photo even shows them on grass...could ya imagine the fuming todays crews would have working on grass ? think the crew chief is looking for the special tool to give his cars the winning edge in the tool box lol

Thanks , it took a few years to fabricate everything and hundreds , literally , of the real truck to capture the enormous size of these work trucks . I gained an extensive appreciation for the drivers after meeting them to properly detail their office on wheels. My favorite parts are the drivers lunch box , sans bologna sandwich and the absolutely important " slump gauge" .
Any questions please ask, I'd love to see ya build one . Their not so much hard , its a straight frame truck w large subassemblies.

Gorgeous metal work, the snorkel is fantastic

I built an Oshkosh FDM a few years ago, with tons of help from Gary Wallace who cast the suspension, and drum . He also made quite a few other parts . Most of the body parts were scratchbuilt by me w plans from the factory manuals .
Here's a few shots of mine
I'd recommend sending Gary a pm see if he has any random parts available, the project is very interesting.

We decided to sell our classic car and buy something newer. The cutlass was becoming a huge money pit so after a few calls we landed a 2003 Mach 1 ! Low miles car and Azure blue ..can't be happier
