DRIPTROIT 71

Beautiful Build!! Excellent work!! Very vintage look!! I like these trucks myself!

Nice work on this one!

Very nice work!!

Where do I start? I like the short cab! The weathering with the bird dropping, Perfect! Excellent build all around!!

Nice work on an unusual subject! Excellent pictures too!

Nice looking build!

I decided to go ahead and finish this one today. The cab and hood are 3d from Global Scale Model Trucks, the interior is scratch built, the chassis is AMT GMC Astro, the engine is a 6v-92t Detroit from Clint Freeman, wheels and tires are 24.5” from Double Take Replicas, the trailer is stock AMT, the trailer decals are from modeltruckers.

I haven’t posted a Work in Progress for sometime now. This one is 99% finished. I still have a little weathering to do. This is a 3d cab from Global. I’m happy with the finished product. My only real complaint is the back window is the newer Volvo/ GMC style and not the Road Boss version. Hooked to the trailer it isn’t noticeable. I really like the hood hinges made to the hood. They are perfect! I scratch built the interior. AMT Astro Chassis. Engine is a 6v-92t from Clint Freeman. Wheels and tires are 24.5” from Double Take. Trailer decals are from modeltruckers. I use these wood bases from Hobby Lobby as a base for a case. I cut plexiglass for top and sides. I will post Under Glass outside pictures when I get it done.

Beautiful build! You captured the vintage look! I have one of those to get to one day. Seeing yours makes me want to start on it.

I have always thought that these were one of the best looking trucks of the day. You did an excellent job on this one!

You did a great job making it look like the truck in the adds.

That is a very nice looking grader! Excellent job!

This is a cab from P&P resin on the AMT Peterbilt 352 chassis, 12v-71 Detroit, with auxiliary transmission, 750 Holmes wrecker from Jamie, the bed is from KFS, tanks are from MTB. I built this with the intention of the dump truck hanging off of the boom, but it is too heavy. The C60 was a bad resin cab that I cut the front clip off of and replaced it with the MPC Desserter cab. The dump appears to be from AITM.

I like the color scheme! I like the subject! Excellent work!

Nice work!

Thanks so much! Thanks so much! Thanks so much!

I don’t know why, but this Ryder paint scheme has always been one of my favorites and you did an excellent job with this one!
