DRIPTROIT 71

Great looking fleet of Fords! Great work!!

This is a beautiful rig! I like the colors!! The Peterbilt looks just right pulling a dump!

Beautiful build inside and out! It looks like you lowered the cab too. Great job! Looks like the real thing!!

I'm not KJ, but he hasn't visited the site since May, so I'll respond for him. KJ had those 3-D printed and used to sell them as well, but he has given up the aftermarket business for now to focus on the family. They were a great product though!

I realized a while back that I haven't built a Peterbilt in about 20 years, so here goes. This is the AMT 359 1100 cab wrecker kit "construction" version. The hood looks to be a Bill Drennen product, probably cast by Porky. Front wheels and tires are unknown resin. The rear wheels and tires are A.I.T.M.. The engine is 8v-71 Detroit and the transmission is a 4x4 Spicer. Here is where I am so far.

Looks great! Nice weathering!!

WOW!!! Amazing work as always!

That turned out great!!

Absolutely beautiful build Carl! A friend of mine had one of these in white. It was one of the fastest street cars that I've ever driven. Great work on this one!

Great looking build! Very clean!

Great looking Firebird!! It doesn't seem like that long ago when these were popular on the road. Great job!

Now that is cool!! Great job too!!

Great looking build! I really liked those kits when they came out! Looks great after all these years too!

Great looking gasser Jim! Great work!

Great idea Pat!! Well executed too!

Thanks James! There's quite a bit of logging around here, but everyone seems to use regular logging trailers. I hope to build one of those too some day, but my to-do list is much greater than my time. ? Thanks!! Thanks Warren! The inspiration was a daycab cabover Freightliner on Youtube with this type of log bunk set up.

Thanks for the kind words Carl!! Thanks Brian!! This was one that I had wanted to build for a long time because these Food Lion trucks used to be common on the road around here.

Great looking build!! I personally like the look of the 106 better than the 120.

Brian you've built a great looking rig!! These resin cabs can be challenging, but you did a great job with this one! The tanker fits perfectly and the colors really set this one off!! Great job again on this one!

Nice looking KW! I like the color! It looks vintage!

Thanks Doug!! Thanks Ken!! Thanks Dave!! Thanks Jim!! Thanks so much!! Thanks Rick!! Thanks for the kind words Tom!! Thanks!! Thanks so much Hermann!! Thanks Jeff!! Thanks man!! The show truck was kind of the look that I was trying to go for. Thanks again! Thanks so much for the compliment! Thanks Brian!! Thanks Chris!! Thanks!! Thanks Carl!! Thanks Mark!! Thanks!! We don't see this kind of log truck around here so I had to use pictures and some creative license. ?

Thanks Brian!!

Nice work!

I watched this one come together and learned a lot. Excellent work and a beautiful build!!

Off to a great start!!
