  1. Yep. I agree. Some of the snapper builds end up with not much snapper left.
  2. Those are fuel lines. The big ones are supply lines from the tank(s) to the fuel pump, then a big one to the distribution block (if I'm thinkin correctly) and the small ones are for the injectors
  3. Rest in Peace Merle Haggard
  4. Not a kit, but still truck related. The shop manager at work gave me a can of genuine Great Dane gloss black paint.
  5. I would love to restore the entire unit. I've always wanted a cabover 50 Chevy. I'm partial to 56 Chevys too. That would be my ultimate setup right there.
  6. Well Happy Birthday Rich! Hope you have a great day. I'm on the lower end of the scale, I'm 33.
  7. Looks like I'm gonna miss it this year. Things just aren't going right. Work is slow and a baby at home, gotta take care of him first. Maybe next year.
  8. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Can't wait. Hope I'll money when it's released. I really hope Hobby Lobby will carry it.
  9. Tom I've been hearing about week or so to get the parts.
  10. Maybe it's my own stubbornness or being paranoid, I try to only keep enough in my account to satisfy the auto pay bills and any bank charges or auto savings transfer. My account rarely has any large amount for very long, a day or 2 at most. When work is slow, like now, there's nothing to a few dollars in there. It also helps my credit is screwed anyway. They almost couldn't get a library card with my info.
  11. The truck stops have all sorts of the "compulsive purchase" items. Some guys out for weeks at a time will pick up some "goodies" for the kiddies at home. The Love's seems to have a large selection of die-cast Jada vehicles. The Pilot/Flyin J have all but phased them out. The T/A /Petro have an ok selection in the main store. But the Love's have the largest in my areas at least. That's where I bought my excavators. Maybe my next stop in a Love's will yield a F650 or a Chevy dually pickem up.
  12. Sorry to hear you gotta move Sean. Your so close to finishing this one. It really looks good man. Hope it finds a good home.
  13. I've had thoughts of picking up a few of these since the truck stops are loaded with them. I can use my fuel points to pick them up for, nothing. Great job JT. Maybe a few of these will get me back into the modeling mood. You did a fine job taking it apart and making it your own. I hear ya on the subjects in die-cast are more than plastic. I've also been eyeing one of those Ford F650 or whatever number they are, 5th wheel pullers.
  14. I've had this happen a couple times, about 10 years apart. Some online purchase to some company in a different country. The bank called me and put a stop to it both times. I've also had it happen when I deposit my paycheck in my town, then use my ATM card in a city 100 to 500 miles away the next morning. Being a truck driver, my withdraws can be pretty far apart and they still call to verify.
  15. Lookin great Dennis. I really like lookin at your scratch built pieces. Awesome work.
  16. Those Rancheros before they started calling then the Ranchero. Kinda cool to see those. My Grandpa had a few Racheros. He loved them.
  17. Man, I sweat there's one runnin around my area that looks just like it. Great job.
  18. They were the first band in my post. It's alright, I'm used to being overlooked.
  19. Rush Nickelback Triumph Bachman Turner overdrive Neil Young I guess that would be my top 5 in no particular order. Others would be The Band Steppen Wolf Some modern bands... Redlight Kings Thousand foot Crutch Three Days Grace
  20. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rz3OFs6NL2U
  21. Here's the current reissue Ca Hauler with a Mercury sleeper.
  22. From what I was told today, it seems as though things may be picking up. I'm hoping things are. I'm not holding my breath though. One of our big customers is making material again. The guy that operates the loader there was on vacation for 3 weeks.
  23. The weekend may be skim pickins for cool trucks. I'm sure you'll see some stuff that's not seen on the east coast. Hope LA treats you ok Jim.
  24. Saw this today on my way home from work. Another short day sadly.
  25. I have the same problem. It's with silver, yellow, and white. I chalk it up to my impatience why I have the problem. Gotta see color, NOW. Guess that's why my black paint jobs come out the best.
