DRIPTROIT 71

That's a very nice 359!! Very nice work indeed!!!

Depending on what you are wanting to build, many of the third axles you will find are tag axles. If you are wanting to make a non-driven tag axle, moluminum.com is probably where you will want to check. They have both steerable and non-steerable tag axles. Hope this helps...Brian

A real Master Piece! I like it !!!

Gator you called it right. I was hoping to avoid a body lift, but as you can see the hood is not going to shut, and oddly enough I wanted to maintain a stock hood. So this one will be getting a body lift as well. At least the tires shouldn't rub (LOL) Thanks again to all who have commented....Brian

Thanks Kevin, I had tested the Ground Hawgs from the Mad Mudder before, and they weren't really what I was looking for on this build, but I'm sure they will be used on another project. Sam, Mike, Gator and everyone who has commented, Thanks for the comments. I hope to make some more progress this week.

Looking better all the time!!

Terry, I like this truck more every time that I see it. Where did that grill come from?

Incredible work as always!!!!

Nice work on the paint. K100s are one of my favorites!

I like it!!! Had fit trouble myself with models and the real thing!! Nice Work!!

Very Nice Brockway!! My kind of model!!!

Just made a trade with 'mikemodeler" excellent trade, would trade with him anytime.

Thanks Terry, Me too! Thanks Clayton. I'm guessing that this twin turbo setup on the 6v-71 would have around 500hp. (guessing) We used to tractor pull with some folks that pulled Olivers with 3-71s on them and they got some awesome power out of those without turbos and not turning over 2500 rpm. The tractor pulling association banned the 4-71s because nothing could touch them. So I'm hoping that it would at least pull a small camping trailer out of a mud hole, in winter, up hill. (LOL) But even if it has to be towed with a chain it's going to look cool. Thanks again Mike! You've been a big help! Thanks again for all the comments guys!!!!

WOW!!!! This thing is AWESOME!!!! You have done a fantastic job!!!

Well I got tires for this project, two sets actually. The Trxus 46" Tires from Scenes Unlimited are the best quality that I've seen in aftermarket cast tires. But I had my heart set on the 48" Iroks for this project. A big thanks to "mikemodeler" who came up with the very tires and wheels that I was looking for. These tires were exactly what I was looking for. The 46" Trxus tires have inspired another project. So they will be put to good use. Thanks for all the comments....Brian

Cool Build!!!

Excellent work!!! Makes me want to drive 88MPH.

Looking Good!!!

Very Nice Build!!!

Excellent Work! I like the color!!

Terry around here you may not be using as much creative license as you think. I've seen fiberglass hoods that had the fender ripped off, and then patched back on with metal plates. A little fiberglass added to hide the screw heads and all is well until the metal rots and rust begins to bubble through the fiberglass resin. I think Sam would back me up in saying that around here there are no rules on what you might find. So let that hood rust! Awesome work on both trucks by the way!!!...Brian

I just received 4 Trux Super Swampers from Scenes Unlimited. I must say that I was totally surprised by the quality. These tires look better than many kit tires. I had been out of model building for some time. The last Super Swampers that I had purchased were made by American Satco which were pretty nice tires, but the tires from Scenes Unlimited surpasses those tires in quality. The shipment was very fast as well. I'll be a return customer.

Very Nice!! My Kind of truck!

Very Nice!!!

Dynamic Duo!!! Great Work!!
