Looking for the Brush Guard, Front Bumper from either the Dodge Monster Truck or ThunderStruck Puller. Part # 106 in this image. I'd cheerfully take the Winch (3 parts #82) also. I'll take it in pretty much any condition, as long as it is usable. The ThunderStruck Brush Guard is part # 76. I have lots to trade! Thanks!

They used it later in a series of Gas Company Commercials, for the "Road Worrier" IIRC. Great Build, Terry. I remember riding the bus into L.A. for Doctor appointments at the Sepulveda V.A. and seeing the Landmaster sitting derelict at a shop on the west side of the 405. You really did a great job job on the finish.

Great Trucks, Jurgen! I really Like the DAF 2800. I want ti find one and build it, but Italeri truck kits cost a lot on cash and I am cheap. I'll get one some day. I really like the look of the 2800. I can see one built with Canadian markings.

Great Build. Just the right amount of written content. Your Paint job is Flawless! Good Show.

Very Nice Build! Clever Conversion and use of parts! Good Show!

Great Looking Build!

IIRC, when Scale Auto did a review of the Trumpy kit they noted that the chrome had a copper undercoating, just like 'real' chrome. It may be almost impossible to strip the chrome plating with out ruining the plastic, I'd spray the parts with a good primer (Tamiya, maybe?) and then paint to suit. Also, what colour are you planning on painting the de-chromed parts? If it is a different shade of chrome, I might try different clear flat paints to see what finish I could get.

Thanks!

Good Luck, Bill. I hope to see you finish it and drive it!

The '36 Ford had a nice Flattie too.

Went to HL today after the Model Club meeting. Nothing Marked Down. Asked a clerk stocking nearby. Has not heard of any mark downs or discounts. Stock was the Same ole, same ole, I wish they'd stock the MPC Bronco, and the AMT '65 El Camino Camper....

I have no idea if they will. What I will guarantee, is that they have plans to release those two pickup kits in other boxes, with different decals and options. I can see the '60 with the Coke Machine from the '60/61 Ranchero and Coke decals. I can also see the '63 with the trailer and a set of dedicated Race Team markings, for the Camper, Truck and Trailer. A set of One Ton Wheels on the '60 might be nice to see, as well. Add in a wrecker boom and front brush guard and you would have a decent Tow Truck.

Any More News on the Blazer?

What Great Build ups! I really like the Fender Mount Spare on the Black truck. Both are great. Good Show.

Sharp Build! Good Show.

Wow!

Fantastic Pizza Car. I did a lot of work on these back in the '90's when I worked at an Acura Dealer. My boss bought quite a few Excels to re-sell at the Auto Auctions. I got to know them well. Truly awful little cars. Your's is perfect. Those are indeed the Barris T-Buggy Decals.

Nice Build, Jeff! The Colour is great. Good Show.

Colour, Stance, Wheels & Details are all perfect! This kit Rocks! Good Show.

Great Job on a simple kit. Proof that any kit can be built for Fun and still looks Sharp. Good Show.

And here is the build Video, for those who may have missed it.

Any News on this kit? I've been looking but have seen nothing....

I have no more LHS to support. So, All of my buying is either Online or H.L. But the selection at HL is very stale, and all the new kits I want are coming from Mail Orders, now. I need to get the 68 Coronet HT to go with my 'Vert, but the Ford Trucks pushed it down the list. I may need a second '60 F-100, just for the spare parts and trailer. It is a very nice kit.

Ed, you get your Wish!
