DRIPTROIT 71

Top notch work all around! Very old school. I like it!!!! Great work!!

Looks Great! Nice work!! I have an 84 K20 I hope to build in scale one day.

There's some on Ebay right now listed as "Resin Cast Fleetmaster Uniroyal Rear End Truck Wheels 1/25 Scale."

Wow! That's nice work!

Cool project! Great work!!

And I thought that I liked unusual stuff. Looks great as usual!! Definitely different. Great work!!

Looks great! I like the weathering!

Looks great! I've seen a couple of these in person. Great work!

Thanks so much guys!!!! The rubber band was too thick and out of scale. I searched and tried several options. I settled on half round styrene for the belts. Pulleys, belts, ans wheels and tires, painted and on. IMG_6218 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_6219 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Cool subject! Looks like you're off to a great start! Great engine choice too!

The first time I ordered from Jamie I had a similar problem. The security was set too high on my computer and wouldn't allow cookies. After the adjustment, I had no more problems. Great products and service by the way!

Very nice work! Sharp looking KW!

Thanks Sam! I bought those tires on Ebay. They were listed as Clint Freeman's, but when I got them they are solid cast resin. I don't know that Clint Freeman ever sold solid hard cast tires. Who ever made them, I really like them. Thanks! I'm using Ertl style rear outer rims, so I made my pulleys hollow. They look like the real thing once the tires are on. I made the pulleys by gluing split rim rings together. I used a rubber band for the drive belt for demonstrative purposes. It's been my experience that rubber bands rot very fast, so I don't think that I will use one permanently. I'm still experimenting. Here's what it looks like.

Looks great! I like the lights!!

Looking good!! Looking forward to seeing this one finished! I hope to build a similar project in the future.

WOW!! That looks Awesome! Looks like the real thing!! Great weathering and Detail!! Great work!!

Thanks Mark!!! It's beginning to look like a truck now. Engine, transmission, and radiator are mounted and paint on the frame. IMG_5811 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_5815 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_5813 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Lots of nice fabrication going on here. Nice work!!

Very nice looking Peterbilt! Nice work!

Glad to see you posting again Sam! The weathering looks great! I like it!!

Thanks Bill! It's far from perfect, but I'm pretty happy with how it is finally coming together. I finished making the lower rods, and calling it a night. The passenger side of suspension is done except for some bolt detail. IMG_5782 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Thanks Guys!! I spent a lot of time on this project today, although you don't see much progress, there was good bit. IMG_5779 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_5781 by Brian Smith, on Flickr
