    Looks like you're off to a great start! Can't wait to see more. I built most of the AMT and Ertl kits as a teen as well. I wish that I would have saved them. Mine were probably burned too.

    Call Bob direct at 815-469-4410. He lists a 55, a 59 and a 60 KW narrow nose. He doesn't have a website and only accepts checks or money orders. Great guy to deal with.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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
