Crankin it out quickly alan. It looks amazing, very nice work

Absolutely

Its a great movie. Cant believe i dont have the dvd yet

Youve come to the right place brother and welcome aboard. Just ask around, post what you build, people on here are very helpful and just all around good people. Right now im mainly building big trucks, but im willing to help as much as possible. My parents like yours thought my model building as playing with toys. Then i entered my 1st truck build in the county fair and took multiple 1st place ribbons, best ofs, and invited to the state fair. Thats when their attitudes changed, realizing this wasnt just toys, it was more, a passion. I took s break for about 10 years and got back into it, my drawers were just like yours, slim pickins, some paint, cheap brushes, no spare parts. But now, just about year back in to it, i have kits and parts and runnin out of room. Give it time, kit bashing will build your spare parts pile quickly, by kits just for rims or a motor or interior, next thing you know you have a stock pile. Happy building and again, dont be afraid to ask ?s or hey do have this part, youd be amazed how many will help

The reason it was available with a mack v8 is because renault owned mack at that point history.

Who knows when, it could be 5 it could be 10, maybe never. With the government you never can tell

Im the same way as you, in kindergarten i could spell international. Never wanted to be anything but a truck driver, have been now for about 10 years. But with all the regulations and garbage they put on us, not mention in cali we are unjustly targeted. Highway patrol told me, in southern cali they are tripling commercial enforcement. The government has taken the fun out of drivin. I still love what i do, but lately have seriously considered hangin it up. Im just glad ive had the opportunity to drive the bad azz 379s and a couple w9s. I really like the 386 im in now, the whole industry has been targeted by the EPA and other agencies, now exhaust filter and fluid, spark plugs on diesels, skirts on trailers, i honestly think the end of the square hood truck is on the horizon, unfortunately. When, who knows, but the writing is on the wall. But at least theyre makin aerodynamic trucks better looking. Its come a long way since the introduction of the t600 in the 80s. In my opinion the t700 kw is the best lookin aero truck. I do vote that they keep makin the square hood trucks, thats a staple in the image of the industry, what people think when they think truck. It would be a great tragedy if they stopped

Maybe, i just remember the R Y E part. They film A LOT of movies over there. Star trek and blazing saddles were filmed in the same spot.

Maybe we will stop at chucks cafe and get her a tuna fish on rye, R Y E.

I dont know but now im gonna have to go check. Im sure the wife wont mind a road trip. Its a long weekend, i think im really gonna go look, i doubt it but it is well worth lookin

Thanks

Hey terry catch flight out here my man, i live about an hour and a half from where the movie and crash scene is. I drive by it all the time in the work truck goin up to mojave to get loaded. Id drive the work on the same road but over time it has been posted no trucks funny enough

Right on, thanks for the info on the chassis. How accurate are the wheels, should i replace the wheels

Out here in beverly hills weve had a couple mixers take some bad spills, that road is now closed to all trucks. The mixers were banged up very bad, these were very bad accidents. The last 1 the drum did come off and crush a car

Didnt that year pete have the square emblems, id sure like to have a set of those

That is cool, very creative. Nice job

I was just thinkin of doin the thumb tacks. Good to know theyre close. Ill be getting some ASAP

Thats another very useful tip about masking then paint then clear, im gonna use that idea

Those teaaly good, i have an idea for this build, im glad this kit is good to build and reletively essy to get ahold of.

That is just amazing, it looks really good. You have some skills with the styrene dennis. Awesome work

That is lookin really good, your stripe work is amazing, great job so far
