  1. And not all the Western trucks with low fenders had the raised section of hood. Here is the original Rubber Duck truck that was in most of the scenes.
  2. The kit doesn't have a turbo. There are some aftermarket resin versions that have a turbo, but not the kit. The manifolds are not shown very well in the instructions. They are each molded as one piece together with the exhaust pipe that runs all of the way to the muffler. I'll see if I can get you a picture later this evening.
  3. Here is the directions to see all the parts. The exhaust manifolds were made to the exhaust pipes. I need some manifolds myself. I don't know why the pictured loaded sideways.
  4. Very nice, clean build! Great work!!
  5. I've got a RL700 low fender hood to use someday, but I would also like to make a RL600 low fender hood some day as well. I like the stacks behind the sleeper on the last picture. Looking forward to seeing more on this one Jim!!
  6. I recently used an Orange Blossom Special kit for a build. The cab is a little off with the windshield being too small for stock and the side window are angled too much. However, this would make it perfect for your build.
  7. This was a couple of years ago. I haven't bought anything from them recently. But as you said, the last I looked, the website wouldn't allow you to place an order, but it looks like most of his products are available on Ebay.
  8. I have purchased from BNL off of Ebay and received my order in about two weeks. The order was resin 4x4 drive axles which were shipped in a padded envelope. I then placed an order once from the website and my order was cancelled and refunded back to my Paypal with no explanation. I inquired about this by email and never received a response.
  9. That really looks good! That old red cab was painted and built by a kid about 30 years ago, I got the DM cab on a trade and I'm not sure how long it had been painted. You have definitely gone further with these cabs than I ever would have. Great work!
  10. Pat, I don't think that there is a noticeable enough difference to matter in 1/25 scale. The 345 has a half inch longer stroke from what I understand and the block was made larger only enough to accommodate for that. With that said, it could be a 392 as well.
  11. Very awesome work as usual! Your weathering is always spot on!
  12. We've all been there. At the end of the day, this is just a hobby, life comes first.
  13. I think that you really captured the look! The only thing missing is the kink in the hood. Excellent work! Best looking snap Blazer that I've seen!
  14. That is one Awesome looking Chevrolet!! Excellent work as usual!!
  15. Awesome build!! I really like the subject!! Lots of great scratch building!! I like the hinge on the hood. Looks great!!
