Up in the truck section on the work bench "purepmd" has a scratch build of a white road boss that he quarter tube for the corners maybe he could help.

That's looking great Pat, really looks good in the "shop"

If you don't already have a source for your LED's this place has a large selection and they come with various resistors

I've only flocked one truck so far so I can't give a big view of what's out there but I had pretty good luck with the stuff from model car garage.

Your trailers are looking really nice J.T. definitely got my attention as I have a few I'd like to build.

Welcome I think you'll like it here everybody is pretty relaxed and willing to share experiences

So I take it that nobody has heard from Sean yet ?? Wish he'd say hi or something.

Google rc Dave Pete 359 rc modelcarsmag.com should give you an idea of what to use and how to run the wiring. I looked for it thru the search here with no luck but came right up with google. Very impressive build that should be helpful sorry I can't just give you a link, working from a phone that refuses to do it.

1/35 & over 1200 parts! I wouldn't attempt one myself. Your friends in the armor probably way passed chuckles

Welcome Kit

?? Maybe?

I've had to do it before and I ended up at 12000 grit (yes 3 zeros) to get it clean and clear again.

I like your idea, my internet is being cranky so I can't look anything up very easy but I know double take replicas has the air cleaners(tanks on hood) and moluminum has some fenders you maybe able to modify. They may have the headache rack also(back rack) but if not there may be some available for trade as there have been some in other kits. This one is from the can-do wrecker kit. Apologizing in advance if this double posts.

Auselowe has a set of spoke wheels listed and I have seen some turned aluminum ones someplace maybe moluminum or GW trucks if I find them I'll post where.

X2 just amazing

Up in the truck stop section bottom of first page (for now) is a topic Ken Smith that will take you his truck detailing articles he's got a 3408 in there if you haven't seen it.

That's looking really nice Brian, I wasn't aware anyone made parts out of fiberglass. I find it a pain in the 1:1 world probably wouldn't ever take it on in scale.

Ok folks I need a little help. I'm trying to detail this 3408 but can't figure out where the fuel line to and from the injection pump should go? Pic 1 is Ken Smiths write up 2 & 3 is where I'm wondering if it goes. Unfortunately I don't have a 3408 at my disposal.(want to however). Thanks for any help.

Nice find, may have to try it followed me home with the wife, been watching a clean '84 ish 359 I want! You planning a full resto.? Side note every time I see a ford cabover first thing that comes to mind is Armed and dangerous

Page 6 of this same section there are 2 topics about spaz stix you may find helpful, I've never used it however. I use alclad but that needs an airbrush.

I think your paint looks great I'd most likely let it be. Some great work going on ...as always.

Looks like the sleeper boot turned out good, if you google truck sleeper boot it will pull up a bunch of different styles for future use. Looks like your flocking turned out really nice to bad you have the repair to do now. The liquid electrical tape is something I would have never thought of great idea, was actually trying to figure out how to con my wife into making me some for my 1/16 Pete, this appears to be much easier.

What kind of roll off, like a tow truck or like the kind used for trash/scrap bins? For the tow style maybe try looking up chevron or jerrdann(sp?). As they are both manufactures of such equipment. For the other style I maybe able to get some pictures of one next week when I should be back on day shift if it would help. Rich

All of the non integrated sleepers I've seen have had a rubber seal to allow the cab and sleeper to move independently. Nice job you're doing by the way.

Well I hope to have some work done this weekend, works been a bit crazy, so no real update just making sure I get my monthly post in.
