Just now, Pete68 said:
On the front axle you may have to raise it a little they always seem to squat in the front. I always put a small piece of styrene under the springs to raise it up. Also the steering box may interfere with the way the hood sits on the cab you may have to adjust it too. Just thought I would let you know

So far i really like this kit. I wish they would reissue them, id like to do a single drive like your one in the middle
Yes it would be nice but Heller has the molds and they redone the 359 cab a little when they got them. Not for sure if Heller still has the molds are not. Thanks I custom made the decals for the single axle and also made single headlights for it. I need to get back on some of these and finish them.

Nice choice I have several of these in progress and about 20+ unbuilt these are my favorite of the TNT series. Here’s my link if you want to look at some I’m working on.

Very nice I had one too in 1981 built it like yours straight out of the box and hooked the Union 76 tanker to it. Thanks for the memories. As always your doing great work Steve.

I'll play ball. This is my ongoing project for the last 2 years-ish. It's going to be a replica of a truck I used to ride along in with my Dad. This was when I wasn't old enough to go to school yet so he was delegated(Mom was working also) to taking me along with him and is the reason I like trucks. It had a Detroit in it. The hood is one I got off of Epay a long time ago. The real truck was maroon/burgundy and white. I included a picture of the real McCoy, but it's a picture of a picture, so I apologize, it's (along with my 45 yr old memory) all I have to go off of. Thanks.
Very nice thanks for sharing I like that Stripe on it

Readjusting the fit of cab, hood and front axle.
I choose to run wide tire setup which further complicated things.They really don’t look bad at all.

Here’s another Paystar Mock-up I’m working on at the same time as the logger. I’m going for the Boxart look on this one.

This isn't a mock-up, more of a mockery.
Here's my 1/32 scrapyard with projects awaiting. There's three snappers bought as stock builds off eBay, a Chevy Bison, a K100 Aerodyne and a Freightliner cabover. Amongst the mess is my Bison double sleeper from a WIP on here. They will eventually get done.
Steve that works your yard looks like my 1/32 yard just something about those snap kits

Ok, this is my mock up of the AMT Watkins Kenworth W 925 conversion to a heavy gravel truck, using lots of aftermarket bits, and the dump box from the AMT Autocar kit...................
That’s a beast thanks for sharing

Ok guys let’s see those mock up’s of your Big Rigs I have lots of them. You know you mock it up then put it back in the box for a rainy day. Maybe it will get the mojo going to finish some of your builds. I’ll get us started. Here’s one I’ve been working on the last couple weeks. It’s a old Ertl Paystar with the AMT Peerless log trailer.

Lee,you might have had the "Tailored Torque" "Fuel Squeezer" 365 HP
It wasn’t no fuel Squeezer at 4mpg it was definitely a 430. I had trouble with water pumps going out heads were spider cracked just one thing after another with that truck. The paint job looks great on your cab.
