Yes, I know it's darn slow... but progress still... (and I could really use some help regarding the above post) -

Getting the rear suspension on now. Will post an update pic tomorrow. Can anyone post a pic of your 352 axle to show how these brakes are supposed to be attached? The AMT instructions are a bit of a mystery. -

I can definitely confirm the Pete suspension on it -- Paul Sagehorn had it at the ATHS show in Des Moines a couple years ago and I took this photo of it there. -

Goodwrench3 replied to Goodwrench3's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well, I've got a straight frame (not twisted or warped), so I'm cautiously optimistic -- and now that I've got this to start hanging parts on that's a good sign ;-) -
Hi all: Two things I need some help with. 1) The piece called "air ride leveling switches" -- the instructions aren't really clear where on the frame rails this piece should go. Are the "fingers just supposed to butt against the rear cross member as I show in the picture ? How do you know where to locate it on the frame rails ? 2) Front springs -- the pin on one of the front springs is higher than the pin on the other front spring. So on one side, you have a gap between the frame rail and the spring mount bracket -- what have you done with this ?? Thanks !

Got the frame mostly glued together this weekend while watching the 1987 Atlanta 500 and the Motorcraft 500 races. Also got some of the other suspension parts cleaned up and the axles together. I need some help on a couple items -- I've posted that in the "Truck Stop" board. -
Assembly of AMT Detroit 8V questions
Goodwrench3 replied to Goodwrench3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks ! If it's not too much trouble, could you also post a pic of how that piece called the "governor" attaches to the front of the blower? If you try to use the center hole in the front plate, the front of the blower won't rest on the block. There is also a hole in the upper right hand corner of that front plate of the blower, but the instructions are poor as to how / where it should be attached. -
ERTL International steer axle width
Goodwrench3 replied to SpreadAxle's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I didn't think anything could be wider than the Freightliner COE steer axle. If not cut down, it ends up looking like a 4 X 4 offroad vehicle ;-) -

Goodwrench3 replied to Goodwrench3's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well, spent the afternoon sanding and doing more clean-up on all of the springs and axles.. not much to show for it. Mold lines everywhere ! LOL. Enjoyed having the 1985 Talledega 500 on while working, though ! -

Well, it showed up finally ! Nice package. I'll be ordering the compressor this week so that hopefully this weekend I can start playing with it.
