  1. I got my truck this far done last night.
  2. Is there anyone who makes resin cabs of this year and body style of the International 9300
  3. Nice! I'm working on this exact same truck.
  4. Thanks for replying. I got it today. Working on my Duel truck now.
  5. I ordered from these guys and it says my order has shipped but that was Thursday and nothing has arrived yet.
  6. Yeah that's the way I'd rather do it. It's like Ebay. I have my PAYPAL set up already.
  7. What about using PAYPAL directly on the site?
  8. Nice truck. I'm going to be building the shorter cab of one of these soon.
  9. I thought the wheels always looked different in several scenes. There are so many factors that still make this one tough. Like the hood ornament. The colors changed from one scene to the next too. I knew there was 2 trucks used but there was actually 3? Another thing that keeps changing are the colors of the fuel tanks. Sometimes they're black sometimes they're faded chrome. As can be seen in both of those pics there. This one is harder than I thought it would be.
  10. I'm doing the one with the red oil cooler on the driver's side. I am going to order the hood conversion from AITM thanks for the info on where to get the trailer. I didn't think one existed. The decals can be found on Model Truckin.
  11. I plan on ordering several conversion cabs from AITM next week. I just wanted to know what payment methods they except. I asked them and even made an account there but they never replied back to that specific question and there is nothing on the site about payment methods.
  12. Thanks. I'll probably just build the truck. I may not even do a trailer for it. The weathering and aging is hard. And another problem with this one is they used 2 different trucks in the movie and they were slightly different colors. One is gold and the other is more of a champagne color. Tough truck to replicate.
  13. I'm not sure if I could pull that off. I may just dig my Duster out and paint it red. If I still have it. I was just in the tote it should be in the other day and don't remember seeing it in there.
  14. I would like to add Sam I am and Casey to the great traders list.
  15. I've got a Duster like that in my closet I think. I don't have a Dodge Dart though.
  16. Do you know where I can get a kit like that?
  17. Got a lot left to do. But couldn't do any of it if it wasn't for your help.
  18. Got a very early start on the truck from the movie Duel. Still a long road ahoy but got a start. Doing some more weathering, fading the gold paint. Aging the chassis. I have to order the hood from AITM which I plan to do soon.
  19. Thanks for clearing that up. I got that truck from ebay to restore it. I thought those parts were odd.
  20. Oompah loompah doopity Dee. I've got another puzzle for yee. Ok that's enough of that. Now on to the topic mystery. Has anyone else ever seen this slightly different issue of the Peterbilt pacemaker? Notice the different grab handles, air conditioner, and breather in the one in the first 3 pictures, from the one in the last 2 which is still issued to this day. And sorry for the Willy Wonka reference. I haven't slept.
  21. Very nice. Love the weathering.
  22. They look smooth after they have the grease on them. I know they have the ridges and grooves in them under the grease. But some really old ones are worn smooth over time. I'm going to make some of my older trucks look worn and rusty.
  23. Well had to start over here. The can of green paint I used was brand new but it must be bad. It dried with a cracked glass look to it. And no it wasn't because of the primer because it dried that way on the tape too. So the cab is back in the purple bath.
  24. What is something good to use for a body filler. I need something that can make all of the fifth wheels on my semi trucks smooth and get rid of all of the dips and ridges in them. I want them to look smooth like they do on real semi trucks.
