  1. Killer truck! Hmm those terra tires look familiar ?
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. Gorgeous metal work, the snorkel is fantastic
  5. 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.
  6. Really nice looking truck ! Thanks for joining the 21 brbo , well have a voting poll in Dec
  7. nice progress !! the color combo looks fantastic together too looks like great minds think alike on their color choices lol
  8. Looks great ! The color fits the era perfectly I've been mired in home projects too, haven't even sat at bench in what seems like forever now Best part of the hobby , its always there when we get back
  9. glad your feeling better !
  10. 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
  11. Thanks Gator ! I haven't had any ambition to work on models lately been busy working around house
  12. Wow your really cranking now ! Fantastic work
  13. The cab and hood look very good with that stripe pattern Fantastic restoration too
  14. Progress looks good ! Good thing ya noticed the color difference early on
  15. Very nice work The interior details really sell this as a hard working truck
  16. Looks good from here ! Going 0/0 opens up several unique options . Estes has that yellow orange color w black, very cool combo..and the chrome wheels could be toned down w 0000 steel wool lightly to create a dull aluminum sheen ! Who's gonna critique ya for creating a model that the fleet may have picked up at auction ... Carry On. !
  17. Really nice work adding the hood stiffeners , something not often seen
  18. nice details throughout ! looks ready to roll with all the air lines too, really like the wire looms tip
