Great looking A-car .I think these trucks have to be like my most favored. I love the pit fenders. You did a fine job on this one! Be Well Gator

Alfred, Good looking trio you have there! What colors are you using? Can't quite make them out in the photos? I do like the tall single stacks. Be Well Gator

Real nice combo you had ! You did a good job on them. Be Well Gator

I agree. Tis an interesting take on the truck. I do like the twin stack .And the use of the wicnh tower from the Pete wrecker kit. Cool build! Be Well Gator

Looks like a fun build ! I always liked the rig in that show. Now that you've started back on this build I'll be following the thread. Be Well Gator

JT, This one is looking good man! I am looking forward to seeing this one finished Be Well Gator.

Terry, You have just convinced me to try the hood hinge when I rebuild two of my A-car dumps. That is if I have the right size brass tube and steel rod??? You are right this one is really starting to look like a dump truck i love it! Be Well Gator

Jesus, Well today is a new day, and it is time to move on. You will get the kits back over time. Be Well Gator

Great looking rig and a fine tribute to your Grandfather! Be Well Gator IUOE local 487 retired

Now that is a really sharp looking rig! And you photography in some of the pics really makes it pop. Well done! Be Well Gator

Now that one looks kinda short? But I think it would look great with the AMT/ERTL gravel trailer behind it. Possibly with the forward axle removed. Be Well Gator

This one looks good to me as a daycab. But you are right.I think a Mercury sleeper would look good on it as well. Be Well Gator

Sean, You are right . I did not realize it was a AMT kit. But either way.I like where you are headed with this one! Be Well Gator

Looks like you have gotten a good start on this one. I also like that stake sided flatbed. Be Well Gator

Well that sill surely work. I have several of those Revell Tri-axle tractor kits both COE and Conventional. So I am interested in what and how you do to this build. Be Well Gator

Okay, that sounds cool! Be Well Gator

For me I like the pit fenders. Even though they say the kit fenders are not accurate. Are you building a dump? Or a heavy hauler/winch tractor? Be Well Gator

So how are you going to finish this one out? A show truck? Or a clean and shiney work truck? Or a plain Jane work truck? Be Well Gator

Will be watching to see how you finish this one out! Be Well Gator

Jesus, So how many kits did you lose? Be Well Gator

Jesus, That is a nice collection of parts you have .How longhave you been building truck models? lol Be Well Gator

Benny, That is my point. yes the kit s are inaccurate, but we do have the kits to build.As opposed to having none. And we do have a thriving aftermarket industry that is supplying the needed parts . My builds go more along the lines of "if it looks right etc....." Because the few people who will see my models in person most likely do not know anything about trucks. And I applaud those who seek to and do build accurate correct models. I build for fun and relaxation and my own pleasure. And getting into too much detail doesn't do it for me. Hopefully Italeri and Revell will come out with some accurate American trucks. But until they do I will be ok with the models I have. And continue to support the aftermarket people. Be Well Gator

Jesus, Did you find the kits that you thought were lost? Or are you now looking to replace lost kits? Those are some nice kits. Good luck! I am still going through my models and hobby tools and supplies. I am looking for a set of micro drill bits.I hope to post some more pics soon. Of the work bench and the storage room. The weather has been hot ,humid and very rainy what with all the typhoon activity to our Northeast. That has slowed my painting of the work bench and desk. Be Well Gator

Sam, This one is looking really good. keep up the good work. Be Well Gator

Well done model, great color looking and paint job. And I like the interior details as well ! Be Well Gator
