cowboy rich

For some of the folks on here 90 days is more than enough time but for me with work and as much moving ad I'm doing right now I probably wouldn't even try but, I do think it's a great idea that would be fun both to participate in and watch. Rich

I think it sounds like a good fun idea, it would be neat to see. I would end up a calendar buyer I'm sure 90 days and this competition I'm no match.

Should be a great canvas for you with all your detail talent I've never built it but looks like fun. Any idea on colors yet?

That looks good clayton, I couldn't get thosedecals right if my life depended on it, be half on the tractor half on the trailer...even if they were in different rooms

That truck and stretch could make a good flat bed with boom crane also

Sorry bud I looked when I got home this evening and it's not anywhere near complete dont remember stealing parts from it but it must be true. Rich

Nice build I like it a lot I think I have a ow 8 bag and diffs would have to look if your interested (think maybe 2) if they will work Rich

Lookin good Clayton I gotta get one of those trailers. But first I gotta get stationary long enough to work on what I have!! Rich

Hope it works for you Ken hate to think an investment like that could end up in the instead of the display beautiful work until "it" happened Rich

Need a picture with daddy's little helper at the bench, gotta start young or he'll figure out what video games are first....lol. Hope all's well Rich

He's definitely had some bad road the last few days. I'm pretty thick skined nothing taken personally or anything Rich

Even when I was in California it would have really upset me aswell. Work is work no 2 ways about that.

Clayton I just saw the news congrats!! Great looking little boy. Hope all is well and you were able to get some off time with him and your wife, he will be in truck with you in no time I'm sure. Rich

I feel for ya Kenny A LOT of work to turn out in an unwanted way. Wish someone had an idea what happened. My wife has been watching your build as well, thought was gonna have to some CPR when she saw what happened!! Hope you dont have to strip the whole truck to get your desired look. Good luck Rich

Your work is mind blowing, and how quit you get it done with all the details, walking through your place must be like a styrene museum. Where do you get your stripes? Please don't say you still hand paint them I could NEVER pull that off. Looks great. Rich

Nice build you have, personally I would line up up the roof

Great build and paint sure that was painstaking to do, I can't wait to see the finished product.....even if it takes another 3 years. Skills WAY beyond mind.

I built one of these and really enjoyed it with the exception of no engine(going to use to my advantage next time) and the frame warp JT spoke of...I didn't catch it until to late. Rich

I really like the build you have going. To bad about the paint. Something I've done before is use a harbor freight air eraser with baking soda, cheap if you have one, and doesn't tear up the surface just time consuming. If it was me though and I was trying not to buy another kit I would take Clayton up on his offer. I have always thought that kit looked good in testors arctic blue with a metallic clear. (But I'm to blue what JT is to orange) Good luck Rich

Check out Indiana custom truck website and gallery some good reference pics if you decide to do interior. They also have a 230". Rich

I hate auto correct that was supposed to be Gator not hater....sorry Gator. Rich

I agree with hater do it how you want to do it, also agree with Kenny B. That's huge, I have a 1/16th on the back burner that is scale 144" my first also. All I can say is I like the .030 & .040 because it is more rigid. Remember haste makes wastes, save your self tome and money and plan your moves before using your knife. Good luck, cant wait to see pictures. Rich

Looks good to me, I like what you have going. Rich

In my book definitely applies junkman. Do you still have it I know some guys that would be drooling on my phone if they saw that truck Rich
