I don’t even read these threads too often anymore, they make me sad. I appreciate all of you that are optimistic and or just glad (like me) that we have kits issued again. I dislike whenever a video is posted and someone feels the need to complain how they won’t be buying anything. Who cares. I like the videos. I’m excited for each kit even if I don’t buy it.

Awesome! I’ll let you know when it arrives!

Interesting! I’ve only been around GMT400 trucks so haven’t seen too many straight axle trucks. Thanks for the info! Feel free to post photos of yours.

Washed a kit and assembled an engine on the AMT White Freightliner. I like how vague the parts and instructions are on these old semi kits.

My favorite generation of 911! Very cool build. It’s hard to believe it is only your 3rd model. You look like an old pro!

Lee, I sent you an email! Thank you, sir!

You are exactly right!

PM sent, that would be mighty kind of you!

Well I bought the wrong kit. I thought the dual drive kit with the yellow and brown truck had the day cab in it as well. I will be changing it up and building the sleeper version I guess. Don’t want to buy another kit.

Wow this whole kit is pretty vague. It’s got the optioned dual tank bed but only one tank... on the passenger side. I think I might scrap the frame and make it a 2wd truck on air. So much for a slump buster.

Thank you for all the interest. I’m going to wash up the trees tomorrow and maybe even start on it. Going to order some wheels and tires from Danny at Scenes Unltd.

Going to replicate this! But I might make mine a bit more stubby.

Well the leaf springs on this thing are a joke. I started making new ones. See how terrible these are?!

This will be my slump buster. Going to build it mostly box stock, probably no Baja bar or step bars. I also got a new building area with excellent lighting.

i hope it is not too late to join. I would like to submit a White Freightliner day cab dual drive for my build. It is new in box, don't have any photos right now.

Cool build, Amazing how 2 of the same kit can go totally different directions. Love the talent you have. I'm still hoping to finish mine.

Cool kit and good build. @PatW congrats to you and your son. I bet it was a beautiful wedding.

Thank You, I am quite proud of it Thank you, Dann. That means a TON coming from you. I won’t be working on this much anymore; I’ve moved and left my models behind to focus on studying for my CPA exams. Rest assured, this and all the others will be on my bench again soon.

Haven't heard anything. I doubt he will ever be back or fulfill people's orders.

Open it up and see what it is about. It is a nice kit. I have one myself.

Starting to look like something!

Scratch built part of the frame for the shifter. More to come. These are very nice if I do say so myself.

I was working on the interior tonight and I broke the P/E piece that is part of the shifter tower Photo etch is super hard to use, not giving up though. It will help it look good. I will know it’s missing but hopefully no one else does (besides you all). I’ll try to get some photos in the morning. Thanks for looking. A majority of the pieces are painted now. Just dragging on the body. A few more touch ups. One good thing is that a lot of the inside is harder to see. I mainly bought the extras for the outside (wiper, fasteners, latches, etc.) those are the key things. I might just build the inside box stock and call it a day.

Finally used my paasche airbrush last night and it is awesome. Laid down some nice semi gloss black. This piece was primered white and it looks good. My skills have come a long way. Having nice equipment helps also! This was the only photo I took I have more painted. Going to be doing the wheels tonight. Body is still drying and needs some more putty work done.

Agreed that they cost more to build probably. I was just at Super Chevy today in Joliet, IL and there were a lot of LS equipped mustangs. Saw one where the owner had a 6.0 with Holley LS/carb intake on, with a.... FiTech EFI unit on it. Was very confused.
