At least it wasn't found on road dead!

I'm not a fan of diesel. Gas is easier to find at out of the way gas stations, they warm up faster, and this engine will more than handle the trailers it will get hooked up to. And it's about $12K CDN cheaper!

Are you sh*tting me? First kit?! Lolz You're doing an awesome job on this one. I especially like the use of eggs.

I think if I had the kind of money these Sheiks have, I'd have myself one heII of a collection too. And I'm sure I'd have some wacky stuff. Nothing that looked like the Lonestar Jeep thing, but I'd have some custom builds that would qualify as mental.

SO has he shut down the Hope operation and moved everything to Chilliwack? Or has he got both locations running?

On Monday it was -19 Celcius and snowing. Yesterday, we had freezing rain. Today it has warmed up to 5 degrees, and everything is a big sloppy mess. I'll be lucky to get out of my parking lot and stay clean. I wish it would just stay cold so the roads stay dry and clean. Conversely, I'm not going to complain about warm weather.

My new truck finally arrived last week after almost two months of shipping delays due to the Texas storm. Accessories finally done, so she's ready for adventure now! 2018 Ram Power Wagon, pretty much loaded except for sunroof.

Finally have the new truck, with accessories installed and ready for adventure!

Went to a show last night and was quite impressed! Death From Above. AKA Death From Above 1979 AKA DFA. I've known about their music for a while now, but have been on a DFA kick lately. And they are fantastic live! Little bit of punk mixed with some heavy rock and some dance music. And it's only two guys! Opening band was a girl group called The Beaches. Was really impressed with these girls. Reminds me of the mid-90s Riot Grrl movemnet. If you liked bands like Veruca Salt and Elastica back in the day, or even The Runaways, then they should appeal to you! Bizarre video, but here's Freeze Me.

I ordered a set today as well; grille and headlights. And he's already reached out to me, the package has already been shipped!

The lot went for $100?! On Ebay right now, there's a handful of these kits, each one going for $130+!

Have pics or links? Very interested in this!

Definitely making note of that. I have another resin piece incoming (apparently it's shipped already) but I'll keep that oen in mind if I'm not happy with this one. Actually, I may just grab one of those anyway.

Parts have started arriving for my build. Was looking and planning last night, and my initial idea may not work. Still going to run a littlew further with it though, because if I can make it work, it will be absolutely mental. And if not, I have a backup plan. So far, using parts from five kits, plus some aftermarket. And if I have to switch to plan B, there will be minimum of 6 kits involved.

Has two inline engines though!

That one was intense. A few random thoughts: how does a truck like that leave the road with no trace? Crazy that the no posts weren't damaged or moved in any way.two days?! I can't imagine what that would have been likedriver hung on for a few days after being extracated, so I'm guessing his family got to see him at the hospitalsurprised they didn't airlift him outMission towing's driver was blurred during the whole show. Not the guy with the beard, the other one. Got me wondering if any of Jamie's drivers have said they don't want to appear on tv. And if so, would Jamie send them to any big wrecks.I'll bet Jamie is bugging Mission constantly about that ancient International! You gonna sell? No. You gonna sell? No. You gonna sell? No. Etc.Why would Jamie keep the wreckage around the yard? Wouldn't a truck that badly mangled get sent for salvage fairly quick? As for Gord's new truck, we do a bit of work with NATTS. A couple of lighter duty to trucks, built on Ram 5500s, and I think one carrier on a Hino. Their shop is about 5 min from me. Decent guys.

I dig it! Need to find one of those kits!

I have the Dodge Ramcharger kit, and like many others, mine had a severely warped body. Took about 6 weeks, but Revell sent me a new body. And they did not ask for any proof of purchase, which I found odd.

Dear America: No, it’s not Thanksgiving up here in the Great White North. We had ours back in October when we needed a break from the back-to-school grinds. Yes, we got a long weekend out of it, but I’d be lying if I said we’re not envious of your 4-5 day break in November. We are, however, very thankful for the football you provide for today. Makes the work day go by faster, you know? And yes, we’ve followed you into the Black Friday black hole. To thank you for the football and the shopping, I’d like to provide this to you. It’s twelve straight hours of turkey noises. This may come in handy when your uncle has a few drinks and starts ranting about politics.

Well that sucks. As someone who has been ripped off once, I feel your pain. See the stickied thread in the trade section to read about that whole fiasco! If you're not getting any response from the guy, I'd say go ahead and call him out on it. Make a post in the trade section, help warn others.

More pics! My fav muscle car, and the perfect colour for it!

White motors? In google searching the Cummins engines that the box art says this is, they all appear to be tan. Google searches are pulling up all sorts of colours though!

Just ignore the Pete cab. That was in the box, and is already on its way to a new home.

Challenging so far. There were a ton of loose parts, so at first I thought this would be an issue when it came to identifying parts and where they go, and when they go there. Turns out, this would have been an issue even if they were still on the sprues, as almost none of the parts are numbered. So far, the only numbered parts are some of the frame crossmembers. The instructions are sub-par for sure, so I'm using pics of real engines to help me with final placement of things. Right now, the engine is almost completely together, and I've started the frame. Need to make a stop at the local hobby stroe and pick up some tan paint that will be a close approximation of the Cummins colour I believe this should have.

Engine assembly has been fun. Lots of tiny parts that look the same! Ah well, keeps it interesting I guess.
