Just a couple pics. I've already started the frame & laid out almost all the box for the 72-74 Petty transporter
I posted a question on a Mopar forum & a member there posted the pic with the Magnum & offered up the body & asked if I would build it & the transporter
I saw them as a teenager in person But was so high on just being in the presence of the pair I don't remember much about the truck & trailer
I've got a resin 78 Dodge Magnum body that I'm going to build as a Petty car & build the transporter as well
The grille already has the Nascar style mesh
I need a 72-4 Dodge Charger Nascar chassis to do this
Thanks Guys! I just need to get a trailer model with them correct siding now Amother member is supposed to be swapping me a L700 kit that I'll use the cab for this
I've never been to any of the shows. I'll have to check them out.
Thanks all!
Greg, I'll be picking your brain when I build the FireHouse for my diorama so it looks like you'll make the roster for the station too
While I was hunting pics for details for a build I stumbled upon this pic of TV Tommy Ivo's twin axle L700 transporter & having that love for the L700 I knew I had to at least try to build it
GLMFAA1 sent me two FireTruck frames to which when I get the decals done his name will be listed as a crewmember
Here's one of the long FireTruck frames he sent with my L700 mockup cab fitted & front axle relocated
Here's the difference in the wheelbase of the two
I lengthened the inner wheel housings using parts that had been cut off my FireTruck HaulerHome
That's a great display Years back I did kinda the same thing with limited space & displayed my different tractors with HaulAway & Transporter trailers filled with cars & trucks
I'm following Ol'Buckaroo with doing a list as I go
This list is comprised of traders that I would trade with again & all have great communication skills

Jt they're really straight forward pieces just the frame is jacked up The first one wasn't real bad but the second on I had to put heat to it was really screwed The third I haven't opened yet it will get a resin Dodge LS1000 cab
Mark, the tire thing had me scratching my head for dates & after reading your reply I'd have to agree with you 100% Revell stuff doesn't seem to stand the test of time certain colors of AMT & MPC doesn't either when it comes to chrome it seems
From 1958 up to 94 I think is when production actually started & stopped around the world the cab being used by Mack & some others around the world too IIRC
