Agreed. A pricey curbside kit. But, again, it comes down to a modern, US truck kit. Seems the 3 "modern" truck kits we have to choose from are pricey, even this curbside. The day cab Pete that they just released, I wouldn't count that as modern. It is designed after a 95 or older truck, pre- Unibilt cabs. But, the resin aftermarket helps make it modern. So now the 70 dollar kit just went to 140, give or take some. Guess if we want modern, we gotta pay the price.

Outstanding. Absolutely amazing work, so fast. The detail is incredible. Will this be at the Cruisin Route 66 show in a few weeks?

I'll take a few when I get home tomorrow. They're really only there for looks. I didn't make anything fancy or "correct". Just small music wire.

As do you Kurt!

Just a few weeks away. Bump this up to remind everybody.

Nice haul Tom. Christmas came early to the Billings home.

I can't believe it. I finally got in contact with the right people at Italeri. They're sending me the decals to correct the disaster I created due to being impatient. I need to finish up the truck, which is really close so I can take it to the contest in a few weeks.

You are out of control. If we didn't know better, that frame looks like square steel tubing. Everytime I look at this, I'm amazed.

Got dang! Lookin AMAZING John. You've done outstanding work on that chassis. I hope I get to see this in person some day. I'm sure pics won't do it justice.

Don't worry Ben. I'm sure Chuck will have an answer for you.

Thanks Dennis. Seems this summer has slowed a few builders. But, now it's cooling off, it's a little more bearable to be outside. That and the paint doesn't dry before it hits what I'm painting. Thanks Gordon. I'm really lookin forward to seeing this done, whenever that'll be. Thanks Gator. That's exactly what I've been doing in my free time, spending time my son. I think now I can start gettin a little modeling in while he's nappin. I doubt I'll get this done for the show. I've got other builds that need to prepped to go. Maybe after the first of the year this can make its show debut.

Nightmare on Elm Street series. A lot of TV movies. You are right Carl, brain cancer.

Just heard director Wes Craven passed. Great director, film maker. Made some really good movies.

I agree gator. This could be interesting.

Can't wait to get my C15. Not sure what I'm gonna put it in, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

I'll be going to this show at the end of September. Here are some videos of trucks drag racing. Some are everyday road trucks. This is really cool show. If anyone will be in So Cal, in the Irwindale area or somewhere close, I recommend attending. It's Sunday Sep 27. Show and shine and drags. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9qQhuRM9v4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nR5vQWNVzJU

NOW HEAR THIS! I had to hire an archeological team to dig this thread up for me. I actually put some putty on this this morning. I have about 2 weeks till the contest . I'm not gonna push this to get done by then, but if it happens it happens. I hope gettin a little putty on the fingers was enough to ignite the motivation

This is lookin good. Pure breed for sure.

Lookin dam good. Everytime, no matter how many times I look at this I'm amazed. I notice some detail that I didn't see the last time. The whole rear section is lookin outstanding.

im not sure if it is or not. I will be there with a few builds, I'm thinkin 5 or 6. 3 big trucks, 2 cars and a pickup.

I notice a difference in the amount of produce trucks runnin around here. There's not as many as there used to be. I heard, Mike Lowery Trucking has a huge barn at their main yard in Dixon, Ca, that supposedly has 100 brand new, zero to extremely low mile trucks that were ordered and never put to use. The same goes for Panella, SVT, VPT and a few others. The amount of farming in the central and imperial valleys has dropped significantly. The Imperial Valley is very dependant on Colorado River irrigation. I hope this winters El Nino helps the situation.

Looks really good. I hope to find my motivation soon. Sometimes to take a step away from the bench will do wonders. Looks like your break worked out great.

You can still walk across the d. But the whole terrorism thing is what stopped truck traffic across the bridge and now with the bridge, all vehicle traffic is stopped. I think when our baby us a few years old, we will take a trip to the dam. Hopefully in a few years, the dry, very dry condition if the desert won't be so severe.

Those look awesome. I'm gonna have to order a set or 2 or 3.... Let us know when they're available!

It's funny. A Lambo, sittin next to a Ford Ranger.
