After years of waiting, due to display space, I have decided to build a Semi Truck. I recently purchased the AMT kit pictured here. I will be doing a slightly customized rig and could use some reference material and aftermarket supply, resin or 3D. Also, any tips would be appreciated! This will become a winter project, so I do have time to gather thoughts and parts before starting, thanks in advance for the help.

Superb!

Wait, are we still talking about model cars? LoL, looks interesting though!

Boy I must be slipping, just noticed my dbl posting! Jeez.....

Mockup and test fitting, body prep and paint to follow. Seems to be going together well.

Beautifully done, neat and clean. Great color combo and finish.

looking good, press on....

Chassis is complete, engine bay still to do. Interior is done and test fitting continues. More body prep to follow.

Yes strip, re-chrome, chrome paint or Alclad.

Interesting model and subject matter, you have my interest....

^^^^THIS^^^^ No discussion needed.....

Good looking Nova....

Hopefully we won't all get bogged down by over thinking things. (Oh look a squirrel...... LoL)

Thx for the pic, currently looking for a scribe tool that makes a clean cut. Your project is coming along nicely, looking forward to seeing more.

Nicely done and well-built with lots of lurking details. I had to look up that engine having never seen one before. https://myflatheadford.com/the-famous-jiggler/

^^^^I like this^^^^

Well I like it just fine, nicely done!

Welcome to the hood! Filling in the gun sites and scratch made a scoop from sheet material. Carbs and cleaners mounted to the blower. Paint and detail to follow….

The Crawford is an amazing place, nice pix!

I have enjoyed following your build and looking forward to seeing it finished. I may have missed this, but have you considered connecting it to a small base? Perhaps something that represents the apron.

I saw this this morning and thought about saying something but waited. Glad I did! Like what you're doing....

Cool subject, nice job on the back half too, following.
