I agree that promoting the Mix & Match options on the instruction sheets, would be far more cost effective than parts packs. Even a separate insert showing how to get a specific truck, and what kits you'd need to build it, would be nice. I'd like to build a V-8 Powered, 4x4, Utility Bed truck someday.

IIRC, from Tim Boyd's article in the "Other Mag", the tooling for the Tractors, Plows and Farm Trailers, was not part of the deal when AMT bought the other truck tooling from ERTL. So, until someone can convince ERTL to let somebody run plastic in the tooling ERTL still holds, the Tractors, Backhoe, Ect, From that tooling will not be seen again. I'll go out on a limb, and guess that Tom Lowe, and others in the Model community have tried to get the use of that tooling, and so far have not been successful. But, maybe someday. Tim Boyd or others probably know much more than I do, as I mostly just read stuff, and extrapolate from what ahs been mentioned or guessed at by other who know more than I do.

Great Tribute Build! Where did the wheels come from?

Could those be aftermarket disc brakes on the '64 Olds?

The Revell '32 Fords. Esp the Sedan and 5 Window. Oodles of options in the box, and great fit.

Fine Work, Geno! I really like the '66 Chevelle.

Awesome.

Man, what an Awesome Build, Chuck. Makes me regret trading my LRE, kit.

If only it were that simple. (sigh).... Tanks are not that simple, although there is at least one 5'n'1 M1 Abrams tank kit.

https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/oldsmobile/amt-64-f-85-cutlass/ If this is really a variant of this kit, coming back, it has the Judson Twin Superchargers!! If the restored kit has those in it, it moves to the top of my list, immediately.

Yes, German Armor can get that sub-type specific some times. Russian T-34 tamks are also molded in a large variety, depending on which factory made the turret, and which roadwheels were used. Note too, that even the American M-4 Sherman, comes in both Cast and Welded Hull versions, and were built with at least 4 types of main guns. (75 mm, 76mm, 105mm and the British 17 pounder)

It will be fun to see that '64 Cutlass kit. Tooled up a year after I was born. I want one.

Those Taxis all had that huge roof rack too, didn't they? I've seen other pics of Taxis in the Mideast and they had those racks. (I guess because the trunks are too small to hold much luggage.)

Looks stunning, so far. Keep it up.

Excellent Build! I too, applaud your colour choice. It fits perfectly.

Laser Sharp Work there, Rat! A sweet ryde for sure!

I suspect that the Roth Pickup decals could be MADE to work on the Foose truck, but it would take cutting and fitting to do so. It would make a neat Build though.

You guys have changed my mind about the CRB. I'm batting 0 for 2 on these group builds as I have a Peking to Paris and a Vannonball Run build still in progress. That said, I'd like to join in myself, if it is not too late. I'm in with the 1914 Stutz Bearcat from the TV series 'Bearcats" from 1971.

Ashman, That Skyline Rocks! You did great. I like the little Tiger too.

Wow! One of your best builds! I second the call for more Photos!

Great Build! Where'd you source the BBC? Monogram '39 Chevy?

I agree with Snake. Leave it as is, until you get tired of looking at it. Then put some decals on it. IMHO, I'd finish it with just the Race Numbers, and call it done.

It sits WAY TOO high, and the wheels are too small! Other than that, great work, and that scratch built Bed Rack is killer.

Nice Rides, Anton. Welcome to the Board. Looking forward to seeing your builds. Alan.

Sharp Build!
