well.......i'm waiting............... looking better and better everytime you update! lol, you snuck the pic's of red in there while I was typing.............

hard to add on to what's already been said, but WOW, just wow,..........amazing.............

cool build, and even cooler group! looks terrific.

you hit the bullseye with this dart! I know, but someone had to say it.... excellent build!

beautiful job. now, lets gas it up and go for a cruise

fantastic build, perfect looking model.

beautiful, just beautiful!

paint looks fantastic! decals.......micro-sol, works wonders on decals that have to conform to odd shapes/bumps etc, usually it takes a few applications, but makes worlds of difference. window glass/lenses, I have been using floor polish [pledge/future] it not only 'glues' the glass in, but gives it some depth/realism. just dip it in to coat it, let the excess run off, and install. look for some micro brushes, they are great for itty-bitty details, they are like a miniature Q tip [only way I could describe it] good work, look forward to your next build.

wow, very nice work! love the roll up doors, and the bmf trick is pretty neat as well. looking forward to seeing more of this.

Sean, looking fantastic! that dash is stellar!!

thanks guys ya, this kit languished for a long time, lol. the color is testors turquoise/clear coat [i think it's the two part type paint]

yup, I voted for all the class 8 stuff too. some of the stuff has 'good' numbers, so maybe................

Stan, she is 'under glass' for more pic's. and thank you

well, this started as a paint pig, the kit was long forgotten in my cellar, and rodents had had a chew at it, so I was going to experiment with paint on the body. as usual, when not trying too hard, the paint came out great, so I had to build it. Bowtienutz sent me some parts to complete this [thanks Vince], and I used the wheels out of the AMT 69 chevelle convert kit, and rear tires out of an AMT parts pack. it's been an on-going project, but other than the mirror 'disc', it's done. I also had some hood fitment issues, but not going to mess with it for fear of messing up the paint. anyway, here it is [probably some 20 years later]

other than actually putting on the mirror 'disc', this one is done.

....to the 'peter-rang'.................in my defense lois, I did pass the hospital............ lol, glad you think like me, this is gonna look cool as heck when done, keep at it!

Ray, you scored! i'll take mine medium rare........

this is pretty cool everytime I see the title to this topic it reminds me of the show 'family guy', if you know the show, you'll get it can I offer a suggestion? the headers, I think they would look cool if they were shorter and came out of your 'fuselage' portion of the body. just throwing that idea out there. looks cool, keep at it. also, when done, do you hang it up like air craft, or park it like a truck??

who'd of ever thought 'exhaust fluid' would turn into a real thing???

that's looking sweet! nice paint job, great looking truck so far.

looking good, I like the red/black. look forward to seeing more progress on this, keep at it.

thanks guys, now I wish the whole top of the truck came off, such a shame most of it will be hidden even with the cut out I made. maybe the next one I do I will try to open up the whole top. I find it funny that on the old amt kits, and the revell kits as well, that other than the dash, you sort of want to hide the interior due to lack of detail, lol. I've got most of the engine bits painted, may work on that some today if time allows. thanks again for the positive comments

Bill, that is fabulous! that is going to look awesome behind the Pete! nice work man

got some interior work done this morning,

looking great! you guys are doing some great builds of these!
