DRIPTROIT 71

You nailed this one Chuck!! I've been wanting to do something like this myself. I like the wire nut air filter. Great idea! Great work!!

That is one nice looking build!! The wheels really set it off!! Great work!!

Very Nice!! I've always liked these trucks as a 4x4.

Looking Very Nice!!!

Very cool build!! I like it!! Sears and Roebuck actually offered a kit to convert a Model T into a tractor back then although most were made with good old fashion creativity. These Doodlebug tractors of yours are really making me want to build one. Excellent Work!!

I can't even think of a word to describe how awesome this truck is! It is definitely "Heavy Duty". Excellent work!!!

Mine was made by Movie Magic. It has a picture of an Australian KW painted like Sonny's on the cover along with a picture of Sonny and Will. I picked it up at the Southern Christmas Show in Charlotte from a vendor who always has a ton of DVDs. The quality is terrible, and I mean terrible. It is almost not even clear enough to watch. Sometimes you can't even tell what is going on. I grew up with the tin foil on the rabbit ears on the TV, but this is worse than those days. I hope you find a better option than mine.

The sleeper looks great!! Was that chrome vinyl self adhesive? I bought some once at an R/C shop (about 15 years ago) thinking that it was adhesive and it wasn't. I never tried to find any more.

Nice work! I like the choice of steel wheels!

Very nice and clean build!!

Get in touch with Alan Hilton. He's the one that oversees the swap meet at the civic center. They had a club at one time, but I'm not sure if they meet anymore. Welcome to the forum neighbor.

Top notch!! Looks Great!!

Thanks for all of the very kind words guys!! While taking a break from sanding, I made the drivers seat. It started out as the seat from the Prowler kit.

Cool project!! Great work on the door!

Looking great!!!!

I wish that I had your skills!! Looking Great!!

Looks Sharp!!

Glad to hear it! I noticed that not all of mine dulled. Maybe, I got a bad can or something.

I really like the way this one is looking!! Great work!!

Very impressive!! I like it!!

This is really my kind of truck! My only complaint is that I don't have one to build (L.O.L.). I've always been a fan of the Brockways. They were built for work! You are sure doing a great job on this one! I really like the yellow!!!

Thanks Dan!!

Thanks for the very kind words; Terry, Michael, Dennis, Tom, Gino, and Angel!! You guys have really been an encouragement!! Thanks for the complements Rob, but looking at that nice looking Diamond Reo of yours, a white flag can only mean that your in the lead on the last lap. Thanks for the encouragement Sam! The plan is to paint the cab yellow. The real question is to stripe or not to stripe. I like stripes, but almost always have trouble with bleed through on the edges. I will probably paint it solid yellow to avoid another set back.

You're very welcome! They look Great!

Thanks Sam! Truthfully, I'm ready for it to be finished. Update, It's starting to look like a truck. Primer coat is a little rough (it's 80 degrees and humid), but sanding will fix that. All the rough spots in the body shine like Christmas tree lights now.
