That engine is a Cummins, NHC250 or NTC350, not sure I'd have to double check on that part, but it is the engine that comes in about half of the AMT truck kits. Your progress is looking great.

OK, So he is not from a poor family. Maybe he is a Beverly Hills Rebel.

Added to the list. Good idea.

Yes, it is. However it is just mocked up for a quick picture. It all fits. I think it's going to make a cool old rod.

Looks great. That mix for the belts, perfect.

Well, I had to build one. I was asked to design this engine and once done, I figured I needed to build a car to put it in. So, here it is. This engine/Trans is available from Texas 3D Customs. I also plan to create a quick change for the rear, the kit has a 9in and it's just to correct for the period. My goal is a period correct 1950 Era 29 roadster as would have been ownedlittle cash to build his dream rod. So, Flathead, S. . T. Blower, Vertex Mag, Ardun heads, triple 97s, model A Trans, and a quick change. Should be fun.

Both of those are super easy. The bottom one looks like just an aftermarket truck rim. I've never seen the top one. Give me a few days and I will see what I can do.

Is the MPC Demon Dart Sport kit still available? Or is it out of production? Will the current Duster chassis fit it? They are the same car. At this point I need to spend my time on things that are needed by a larger number of people. To spend 50 hours on a complete chassis for an out of production kit is not a good use of my time. And, if there is a reasonable alternative out there, it is not worth it at all. The 904/727, now that is a good idea.

I am currently working on a very special Ford engine right now that should be available soon from Texas 3D Customs. After that the inline Fords and 302/5.0 will be on the list.

Hopefully this is s related on topic question. Some of you store models in a shed, how well do they do in the heat? What is too hot? I too am running out of space and have plenty of room in a shed. However summer can get very warm here and I don't want all my kits getting warped and ruined. I've been thinking about stuffing them under the house, it's a lot cooler down there(no basement)

Looks good, what software do you use?

It is no longer available on cults. Please see Texas 3D Customs for a high quality print.

With the upcomming issue of the Garwood C series Ford, I was thrilled to find this gem in my local area. I talked to the mechanic and it seems it is still working and used as a back up when needed. It is showing its age, but it is still in good shape, nearly all rust is surface rust, other than a little on the compactor. A tag in the window says it is a 1978 C8000 (emblems confirm this), engine is a Cat see picture, something ending in 36. I took a lot of pictures, if you want more, let me know.

This is the transmission with the offy. Found on the H.A.M.B. It is a Model A Ford Transmission. see this thread: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/offenhauser-racing-transmission.1088178/ It seems this was a comon trans to use behind these engines in the early years. That is why it is the trans modeled to be used with it. While any trans could be adapted, and many were, this seemed the most era correct one to include. Any others would have been latter and not correct for the era.

I tried to get a front axle from KFS and they were out of stock. So, I made my own. I also made the Rockwell T-138 transfer case to go with it. These should be available very soon from Texas 3D Customs.

I agree, top notch products. I have their stuff on several builds. I love this truck, I love how simple the old tow trucks were.

Love the wheels/tires. Where are they from?

I knew what is was right away. The C4 Corvette and the Volvo P1800 are 2 of my favorite cars. However, when you stick them together it just seems to ruin both of them.

Every printer is different, however any prints I do are printed at .0035. It takes forever, but the layer lines are so small, it takes very little to remove them.

My buddy said he would check it out this week. It seems legit from what I can see.

That is cool. I'm build a motor home out of one of those. I love the ambulance idea.

My Ice Cream truck. 1950 Chevy with custom rear cooler box.

In Tacoma WA? If so I have a friend that lives there who is into modeling, I'm sure he knows.

I too love building Italeri Kits. They build so nice. This turned out great, very nicely done. Cool Truck.

I have the first print of the frame for the 60-72 Chevy trucks. Ascan be seen in the pictures below, it is a great fit for the Revell 65-66 trucks. The frame fits great with te interior on the 72 Chevy trucks. If you are doing a long bed 4x4 1960 AMT, it will work but it is not "Correct" as they had an X style frame due to the torsion bar design. The 1960 is also wider at the rear. I am not sure if this is an early frame thing or an AMT thing. I modeled the frame straight off factory service manual drawings.
