DRIPTROIT 71

Unless he sold it recently, Brad Wike has the Duel truck in Lincolnton, here in NC. He has a show every year at his farm in September. This past September his Duel truck was there, along with the Movin' On truck (now under new ownership I found out), The BJ and the Bear truck of Paul's was there and the Rubber Duck truck was there too. If I'm not mistaken the Rubber Duck truck belongs to someone in Georgia now. The year before last I got my picture took in the Rubber Duck truck, this past year I got my picture took in the BJ and the Bear truck. Maybe this year I'll get the Duel truck and the Movin' On truck just to be safe. Oh yeah, I took my son's picture in them too.

Nice clean build! Great work! I like the color choice!

I like it!!

Some serious scratch building going on here! Really looking good!

You've really got a way of capturing these subjects! Looks great!!

Thanks! Black RTV silicon.

Thanks Jim!

That is definitely an eye catcher! Looks Great! Excellent work for sure!! Makes me want to sing: "Give Me 40 Acres and I'll Turn this Rig Around."

Thanks Kerry, I was just curious, because that's what I had been told. I didn't even realize that he had sold the Movin On truck. I went back and looked at last September's pictures and his name was no longer on the truck.

Very nice!! I really like the color! Great work!

Looks incredible!! Excellent work!!

Looks great very realistic build! I've seen many very similar. Fender trimming is spot on! All it need is a kink in the hood. Did you scratch build the welder?

Very nice work!! The weathering looks great!!

Very nice!! I really like the color and the wood grain is awesome!

Looks really good!

Can't wait to see more!

Thanks Guys!! Those wheels came from Auslowe.

Cool!! I have seen it in person too. I thought that his BJ truck and his Movin on truck was the real deal, not just replicas.

Very nice, very clean build!! Looks Great!!

Very nice work!! Background is awesome too!!

This picture may help too.

really like your paint scheme!! It looks good!!

I actually accomplished a little on this one over the past few days. I very pleased with these tanks from Auslowe, and the tires from Double Take are pretty awesome. Tanks are mounted and engine is mounted. I also upgraded the radiator for the 3406 and the 9000 has a larger one than the 8000 in all the pictures that I can find.

Tool boxes will look great!

I have a few pictures of an orange one with an 8v-71. I plan to put a 6-71 in mine if I ever get around to building it. Looking forward to seeing more!!
