  1. Shes beautiful ! I definitely enjoy every mile I put on our 71 cutlass convertible, fun driving something without all the electronic distractions
  2. We used to say while flying radio controlled helicopters, if ya have to ask ya cant afford it lol ! Theres not many wrecks this truck couldn't recover I imagine...if Jamie Davis can use the old iron he uses lol
  3. Heres what they looked like before swimming...really inspired me seeing everything together though. Definitely has the work truck appearance I wanted
  4. Thanks ! I had a paint mishap, totally my fault, causing the parts a swim in the pond....getting in a hurry sucks. I had cab primed w light gray duplicolor and box was raw plastic...color wasnt even between them. The cabs cleaned up and ready for BOTH to get primer ...thanks for being patient.
  5. Looks like an awesome proj underway !
  6. X2 what Driptroit 71 suggested, Dave will definitely have what your looking for.
  7. Good choice on the wheels , always like the steel / cap look over flashy on these street burners
  8. Good looking mods !
  9. Thanks ! I used tips from red neck rigger to better detail mine Thanks , hopefully it will still be visible after paint Thanks Warren - are you doing a WIP on your 361 love to see it. I have another adopted Husky that's stalled , this winter I'm definitely finishing it up.
  10. Awesome work! Really like the damaged tailgate and wrinkled pan definitely tells a story of this trucks life
  11. Looks like a great bunch of projects ahead ! Theres an Emeryville rusting away nearby planned taking photos of it . Might be a good way to remember that truck
  12. Thanks Kerry ! One of those builds I'm having fun working on keeps me very motivated Thanks ! I figured adding those small welds would make an otherwise boring muffler stand out . Hopefully the operators notice them lol Thanks Jacobus Thanks Ken ! Almost ready for paint if this work thing didnt cut into my day ....
  13. The 361 is mainly gonna be curbside since the hood is cast w the cab. Not wanting another multi yr project, I'm just dropping a basic Nhc 250 Cummins and running the exterior pipes . One detail this 361 had was what I'm calling a resonator above muffler w visable welds...well I had to model that !! A leftover strip of CTM welds from my pneumatic trailer to the rescue. Heres the actual truck, you can see the " can "above the muffler. thanks for watching Jeff
  14. Well without further ado, I've been puttering w the 361 and finally have a roller !!! Using 22 inch 2 hole budds all around from moluminum, and awesome drive tires from GW trucks . The front steers came from the KW snappy kit.. The dump box received a bunch of eye candy , attaching a section of small diameter rod to the bed side , basswood top boards, and thin sheet stock for the " rear trough ". The tabs are for the door cylinder.
  15. Wow nice frame color !!!!
  16. Sam - I think what your seeing for the 3rd axle is actually a lift axle he sourced from gw trucks.
  17. Doug Wagner just started 3d printing the tank for the Convoy trailer so that'll soon be available. It's only the tank , so scratch building the chassis would be needed.
  18. Nice save ! Easily my favorite car of all time, edging out the 80s icon Countach. Color is sharp too
  19. Looking good Tom ! Isn't hacking up perfectly good kits fun !
  20. Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments !
