This is better big rig tire stuffing. It is called 3/8" window backer rod available at home improvement stores. Less than $5 and can do probably 10 semi trucks.

Nice builds. I love the paint scheme(s). I vividly remember watching Sox & Martin race at Cornhusker raceway in NE when I was a kid (my dad was a drag racer). He was up against a dark red 69 Chevelle. The Chevelle driver red lit. I even remember which lanes they were in.

Very nice! I have one of those. Do you have a build thread to go with it?

and snooze again

That is a very nice piece.

My favorites are 68-69 Chevelle wagon, 65, 66, 67 Pontiac Tempest wagon, ANY Olds Vista cruiser, or a 68-69 Mopar B-body wagon.

Gorgeous build! Dash detail is fantastic!

Very nice dashboard detail. How did you get such nice BF Goodrich lettering on Goodyear tires?

I like the flatbed. I will get one for sure. I read the whole thread. Did I miss what scale it is? (It looks 1/25 IF the cars are 1/25)

Just order this from ebay for less than $37 with shipping. I will have just about one of every truck and trailer that I want. The only thing left on my wishlist is a KW K-123.

Got the chassis finished yesterday. As you can tell, I made a few mods.

Really shiny project there. I like it.

Once you get the hang of BMF, You will love it. It works well as paint mask too (if you don't leave it on too long) Your truck would make a good old school Baja racer.

You are truly a MASTER builder. The detail you put into your build is quite impressive.

Sam, on the Lowboy trailer, I used the kit's deck plates plus an additional one, since I lengthened it. I will be interested in seeing how your "real" wood deck turns out.

Congratulations SAM! I got one of those last fall and expect another one (a Doctor no less!) coming October.

Agreed, usually the part price is reasonable but add shipping and you can buy a whole kit to rob parts from. Then there is Sam with a BAZZILION parts to beg, borrow and buy from.

I am liking the duck tail spoiler feature and the Ford GT rims. I agree, it has a more OEM look.

Very nice result.

Private party one town away. There was another one with a large 1 piece sliding glass door for $200 but he did not respond in time. This case just BARELY fit in my wife's Durango with 1" to spare.

Extra shelves really help.

Now that I am building again, I wanted a safe place to display my models away from our cat and future toddlers. I do not have that many models built (yet) but I started looking on Craigslist and found this beauty for $90. It is wide enough to accomodate the length of a built semi truck rig and deep enough for two side by side. It presently has 4 glass shelves but I added 4 more for only $53 including shipping. It has a light in the top and a mirrored back panel. My wife resisted at first but since I make the house payments, is it too much to ask to control more than two walls in one room vs. her control of the entire house? Now I have more space than completed builds. I better get to it! Here is a pic taken before I finished my 4 Chevelles.

You pretty much nailed it. It is a BUSINESS. I love to watch sci-fi but do not build any. I am a 50's to 70's car guy. I'll take what I can get at a reasonable price.

I got it last night but a refresh got me in. Has been working every time this morning.

Thanks Tom. The box art for this and the lowboy it will be hooked to were both red. I got the pretty metallic red from the Duplicolor line at my local auto parts store.
