DRIPTROIT 71

Nice work on this one.

Thanks Gary!! Thanks Steve!! There were a lot of Great Danes back in the day with the mudflaps mounted this way. It is probably less effective, but, I like the way it looks too. Thanks Jim!! Thanks Victor!! I've been wanting to do a group shot. Thanks Warren!! I used HVAC aluminum duct tape. The nose and back doors were chrome in the kit, I covered the sides with aluminum and then polished it a little bit. I got the idea from KJ Humphreys. It turned out okay for my first try.

Thanks Trevor!!

Nice looking Marmon!

Thanks Jeff!

I’ve always liked the Carolina letters on their refrigerated trailers. I think that the fleet is done for now.

Thanks!! Thanks!!

Thanks Jim!! Thanks Warren. I have found that Tamiya tape works best, but I do have trouble with residue. Lacquer paint also seems to help. A thin fast drying coat as opposed to the slow drying seeping enamel. Thanks Gary!! Thanks Ken!! Thanks Tommy. As soon as I finish the trailer, I think that the fleet will be done, at least for now. Thanks Chuck!! That is a B-67 that actually resides at the Transportation Museum not very far from where I live. I have several pictures of it. It was the inspiration truck for this build, especially the air starter tank. Thanks David!! Thanks Scott! Thanks Carl!! Thanks!! Thanks Chris!!

I finally took time to finish this one. AITM resin cab, glue bomb AMT R-model frame, resin rear wheels and tires from AITM, pewter rear axle from AITM, resin tanks from AITM.

Looks great!

You are truly a craftsman!! I enjoyed watching this one come together! It is by far the best Dodge cabover that I have ever seen built! As Charles said, the details and weathering is perfect! It looks real! Excellent work!

Looking good!!

That is really looking good!!

Actually, I wasn’t aware that the 4-53 was available in these. Do you have any reference material on these trucks with a Detroit or even an engine compartment picture? I have 4-53 references, just not in one of these, at least not that I remember.?

Looks Awesome!! Gary would be proud!

Beautiful fire truck! Excellent work!
