As an infant....... they called me...... little kernel. Dad drove a 73' transtar for his folks hauling grain and livestock. Spent hours upon hours riding in a white one, that I actually drove as an adult (a little). Love the old cab overs!!! Keep posting, thx!!

Question? Need to strip a cab :(
Cabover Kid replied to Cabover Kid's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
So after a little less than 48 hrs. The cab came pretty clean!! The Zep cleaned it right down to the primer. I left it soak last night to loosen the remaining paint, (a few corners and what not) but a tooth brush was all it took to finish! Worked well, thanks again for the help!! Let ya all know how the new stripes go, hopefully if the next week or so! -
Question? Need to strip a cab :(
Cabover Kid replied to Cabover Kid's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well I picked up a jug of Zep degreaser and started the soak sat. night around eleven...we'll see how it goes! Now for the root of my situation, I am still new, but I can't pass up a chance at some sort of stripe for this cab. The door/compartment lines and rivets are sort of in the way of successfully masking and painting without more leakage between colors than I can stand. Hence the bath! I read the other day that once the masking tape was applied to hit it with a shot of clear coat, then the color. Thought I would give that a try this time. Open to any more ideas from more experienced builders. Thanks!! -

Vote! Revell Share Your Dream
Cabover Kid replied to chuckyr's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
What exactly are the odds that the 9670 will go into production?? I am new to all this, as my photo in the corner shows, I would be very pumped to get my hands on something like that!!! How often does a new product come up for support from consumers? And when was the last new product? -
359 and bull rack
Cabover Kid replied to Cabover Kid's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
It isn't to bad a kit, watch that when you paint the inside of the back doors that you don't clog the track for the end gate. ( also watch the glue when you attach the rails for the end gate). The red one is the first one I have done since I was a kid, it went together better than the 352 "round two" that I am working on now. Have fun! -
