sheesh Clayton, you gotta share your tips on how fast you build these killer looking trucks. takes me forever to get one built.

thanks guys, making progress! and the wheels so far, gotta black wash them, but almost there, also got the body back in primer, so maybe by the weekend, it will be in color again.....

Congrats on the win, well deserved.

now that is cool! the build and the story are excellent.

lol, ya, wasn't happy about it, but that spot was in such a place I couldn't hide it. oh well, I have done several repaints, so it's business as usual

I dig it, cool project.

Well, the body is out of the pond...... I was all set to BMF it, but noticed a small dark orange/red spot in the middle of the roof......tried to wet sand it out, but no dice, I then tried to repaint just the roof, epic fail, so in the pond it went. I picked up a pack of the amt redline tires, and robbed the wheels and caps out of my ZL-1 camaro kit, so that's the wheels and tires sorted out. I got the other door panel bmf'd, dash decals on and floor flocked. Front suspension is on as is the firewall. I also alclad'd the exhaust and then cleared it. Hope to have some fresh pics of progress in the next few days. Thanks for looking.

Looks great so far, this is going to be a 'smooth' set up!

91% alchohol from the local drug store should get it stripped. I am quite suprised the brake fluid didn't do the trick though. The upside of this, you should never have an issue with paint actually staying on something when you want it to......

Awesome builds and combo, another fantastic project from your bench!

Fantastic! Congrat's Clayton!

Thank you everyone.

outstanding!

I feel your pain, just had to put my 66 chevelle in the pond, ugh, all because I had an orange spot ( smaller than a pin head, but on pale yellow, it really stood out) on the roof, tried to paint the roof again and just made a mess, so, I will try again. We are in the same boat, lol.

Excellent news! Congrat's on the house. Just remember, the biggest room is the livingroom, not the hobby room, lol.

58......, what do i win?

Scale hobbiest has them as well for @ $65

Terry, you must build atleast one in those colors.........

thanks Carl, it looks better in person truthfully. the color is testors Daytona yellow lacquer with a bunch of clear on it.

I couldn't get the body square for love or money, so it's going to be on the shelf just a tad crooked but it is near completion.

so, I have had this project on and off the bench for what seems like forever, but we all know how model building A.D.D. is........oooh....squirrel.......lol. anyway, here is my progression over who knows how much time,

Had a box full of stuff when I got home today. Lonestar Prostar US wrecker Wester Star Constelation Peerless log trailer And a couple of car kits. Good mail day, lol.

i like it! nice colors too.

thanks, i figured it was along shot, but thought i would ask. and it looks as though the MCG option is no longer available either.
