DRIPTROIT 71

The colors look Awesome on this one! The green cab lights and bug shield are a nice touch. It also looks to me like you re-made the mirror brackets. Excellent work!!

Your paint schemes are always the best! Excellent work!! Looks Great!!

Got the interior about ready now.

Very nice!!! Your fabricating skills are amazing!!

Looks Awesome!!

The Italeri Western Star Constellation

Nice looking Louisville!!

Looks great! Nice work!! What color is that? It has that slightly sun faded look. I like it!!

I like it!

X2

Looking good from where I sit!

I like where this one is going!

Off to a good start! You have the right power plant in there! ?

Thanks for all the comments guys!! I got a little paint on the cab now.

Check with Dave at American Industrial Truck Models. He has resin conversions from the 50s.

These kits can fight you sometimes. It looks like you got this one together well! I like your color choice! Daycab cabovers are my favorite! It has that ready to work look. Looking forward to your next project, whichever one you choose!

Very nice build! Like the color scheme and the added details! Very clean work too!

Thanks for all of the comments. I have a little more done on the bed now.

I'm sure the one that you have has been modified too. The one that you have pictured is the Paystar version, but the bed and number of axles is the same in both.

Very nice!! You have really captured the 70s look! Great work! I would like to find one of these cabs myself!

Call me impressed! Awesome work! Nice touch with the weld seams!

I have a little more done on the bed. It is not finished yet, but getting closer. I'm trying to go for an old steel bed truck that has been repainted and found new life, maybe from someone who has decided to go into business for themselves. I will be doing some weathering inside and outside the bed. I also have to add the roll tarp.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Yes, this is the same kit. I added the lift axle and modified the bed. If you decide that you need to let one of those kits go, let me know! ?

Hank shut it down. People were copying pictures and re-posting them as their own. The forum is still operating though.

Every once in a while a hood shows up on Ebay. That is where I got mine. There is also someone on there offering a 3D brush guard and sleeper, although a little pricey in my opinion. It will take a bit more than lengthening the AMT hood to make an RS700L hood as the fenders are a little different and considered low mount fenders, but it can be done. I hope to convert the AMT hood to a short RL600 hood one day. Like was said before, call Dave at A.I.T.M. direct and if he can help you he will, he is great to deal with.
