Thanks! Glad to see the A body get the attention it deserves

That's a beautiful GM A body!! The body mods and interior look fantastic, really like how you changed the chrome strip around the hood! Can't wait to see further progress I've been sourcing the needed parts to build a replica of my 71 cutlass supreme convertible.

Tom- Glad to hear your attending! Be fun to chat trucks again. Sounds like another great show, and I'll have the worst kept secret there !!

All packed up and ready to go! Looking forward to seeing everyone again

Proudly served our great nation 1st cavalry division Ft Hood TX Happy veterans day to all our brothers and sisters that have and are serving .

I don't recall gary having the HD parts on his recent list, there's several small parts he carries that he doesn't list. but if your email him, ask for the parts..there always in stock. He's been busy getting ready for an upcoming event, but he'll reply promptly. Hope ya build one, it's a fantastic looking truck when finished. .and differ from the norm Don't forget to pick up the proper grill from Dave (cargostar ) Carey, it's absolutely awesome,

The possibility of turning a base Lonestar into the HD version is very possible. I mastered the fenders/headlights, and HD style bumper that is available thru gw trucks!! It's 10.00. I built the wrecker of this truck using the tri axle pete. Grab the HD grill and daycab from Dave Carey, it's beautiful, and your nearly there!!

Excellent work

Very cool build! Love the tire rack

Excellent work, the details are amazing

Great work Terry, cool lathe work on the mixer drive! These trucks look much better with the water tank mounted low Looking forward to the updates That reminds me...I should post a pic of my recently finished mixer..they seem to be popular right now

Nice start on the mixer! The cut down fenders work well, and the stance is spot on.

Great to see this build back on the bench!

Glad to help resurrect this mack from the boneyard even if I only helped w the wheels! You certainly put them to good use! Hope to see this in person soon

Nice save ! Gonna look great w a little dust

Greatwork on your headache rack Sam. Adding more strip to beef it up looks good, and you'll be much happier than using the resin offerings.

The hinges have a flange that would be used to glue to the body or door edge. I'm just returning from the Bristol night race, I'll post an image when I return if needed

Happy to offer another tool we can use ! That's what makes these forums great, helping each other As far as how many trucks these would cover, hmm..unsure. I'm guessing each door is about 2 nches tall, ? I did use a small section for a frame mounted tool bin, and had more left. My door was 48mm tall.

I dropped a few images for the hinges in the tip/trick forums per Gators request -

A fellow modeler suggested them after trying other types,and they worked great! They come pre assembled, ready to glue into your existing door openings, and function like the real thing! Here's a link to them, I used the 6 inch length type, the opening size is about 5mm including the glue flange !!! The item number is H100N http://www.phoenixmodeldevelopments.com/acatalog/The_Phoenix_Miniature_Hinge_Range.html

First class detailing on your build! If I may suggest an alternative for door hinges, there's a place in the UK, that's sells brass piano hinges, small enough for our builds. They come assembled, just cut the length, and glue on...done. here's the place http://www.phoenixmodeldevelopments.com/acatalog/The_Phoenix_Miniature_Hinge_Range.html and they ship super fast! A 6 inch length, open size is just under 4 mm, is about perfect.

Looking awesome, keep up the great work

Nov 22 is the correct date for this show. There's always a ton of talented builders, and a large vendor area for finding your next project! Hope to see ya there

terrific Pete! The paint looks fantastic

Great pics of the mpcv 6×6 Buffalo's! ! I missed a chance to deploy to NTC in 97, shipped to S.Korea instead. Bronco makes a sweet kit of a similar vehicle... How about a drive in the Oshkosh tractor w the lowboy?? Kits coming soon for that too
