this combo is too cool! I like the whole package, but I must admit, I am a nut for 66 chevelles, so the wagon really peaks my interest! if I read correctly, that is a resin body? where can a guy get one? or do I need to hack an elco and one of my wagons to pull this off? anyway, just love the wagon, and the color suits it perfectly, absolutely cool!

luckily, I have two more of these kits in my stash, the version with the truck 'drawn' on the box in green.

that's cool Jim

good looking rig! can't wait to see the KW.

Carl, i have got some good deals on some kits, you do enough 'surfing' you can score some deals. the LA recovery kit was listed as 'used, like new' on amazon, so i took a gamble. roughly an $85 kit for $29, i had to chance it. box was re-taped, but all the bags inside were still sealed! i figure someone bought it, opened it, thought oh man, this isn't for me, and sent it back. my wife was even proud of me for my savy shopping skills, lol.

welcome from another big rig addict nice looking truck, make sure to check out the big rig section, ton of cool stuff in there!

those are pretty cool Jim! and here I thought you just did rigs....

oil shortage my behind........pure greed at work there.........

lol, guess it's a good thing it never 'took off'

wow, you don't mess around! looking good!

to me, the first two pictures have better 'flow', just looks right, if ya know what I mean.

got this stuff over the past week or so, got a smoking deal on the recovery truck, $29 bucks thru amazon!

GM was fooling with this idea years ago, like 20 or so, at that time though, it relied on sensors in the road to navigate the vehicle. most of your crash avoidance systems only work over a specified mph, so, someone standing in front of a stationary vehicle trying to stop it's movement won't happen. as a new car dealership tech, I see all the latest/greatest techno-foolery that is on GM cars, some of it is cool and a good idea [blind zone detection, rear back up camera/or sensor system are a couple that come to mind], but ya, some of it is borderline insane. have you seen a new car owners manual lately? you need a few college courses to figure out how to work everything. at the same return, I bet 'back in the day' people thought turn signals and brake lights were foolish add ons, heck, we already have hand signals, who need blinking lights? myself, I am still waiting on the flying car

welcome, and welcome back to the hobby. seems to be a trend, I was away from it for many years, and am loving building again.

welcome back, I took a 20+ year vacation from it too, the addiction is much worse now, lol.

that is too cool, that thing is huge! love the color scheme, looks awesome JT!

wow, that is pretty [ya, I said pretty ]

holy smokes! that could have been real bad! as for the beer, I find if I don't set it down, there is minimal chance of spillage.............until the right amount is consumed anyway, then all bets are off

lets just say 'lesson learned' on that one lol. after the 'mis hap' it got glued/taped. probably needs fresh tape by now......

that's pretty slick! nice build.

happy birthday! I have a set of square tanks [ I prefer the round ones] let me know if you want/need them

hehe, been there, done that with the paint stand.......now it's taped and glued together flawless paint finish, 'hey, lets flip it over to make sure rockers are well covered' .....2 seconds later, on the roof.......rockers were well painted by the way

thanks Justin

not enough dry time is my guess. if I am going to two tone, I do base color, then put it in a dehydrator overnight, let it sit the next day while I am at work, then I can tape off and do second color, I use lacquer mostly though. and I use Tamiya tape and frog tape.

motor is about done, waiting on air cleaner housing to dry, for the life of me, I could not get the turbo ductwork to line up properly, but it's close have started on the frame bits now, have got the front axle assembled. have also been working on the trailer a little, just getting the sides to fit the top and bottom. thanks for playing along.....
