What a sweet paint job and the color is spot on! This will be a show stopper! Jeff

Nothing Horrible. All good and ok

My apologies for posting it. I didn’t realize this thread was for only real cars. Just thought you guys would be interested in seeing it.

Well along with Corvettes being my thing , trucks are too and this beauty was beside me for a few miles

Well , I have NO idea. I’m NOT a Porsche guy Corvettes are my thing, but listening to the owner he said it was a 57 and no mention of a kit or anything else, but hey, I may be wrong. Just thought it fit the thread of what I saw on the road today.

What makes you think that? Out of curiosity?

Saw this , this morning at the BC Ferry’s terminal in Delta BC. Heard the owner say it was a ‘57

Saw this on the road today

Very cool JM !

Lovin this !!

No name stuff from Canadian Tire. Nothing special. It seems to buff up a bit if I rub it with a wooden dowel. I burnishes quite well considering it is fairly thick

Thanks , Steve. I didn’t think I could cut the metal ones cleanly with out making a hash of it. And in real life it looks pretty good over all

Little update …. I’m going with aftermarket exhaust, specifically the Auslowe kit EX3. The kit is beautiful and I have used them 3 or 4 times and they really make the build. On this build I didn’t care for the pipe itself as it was a bit long and to cut it on an angle would have been a challenge for me. I had some styrene tube the exact right size, and with my new razor saw and my old mitre box cut some pipes a little shorter…. covered them with the automotive ‘chrome’ tape and a small splash of paint on the inside and I have a couple clean pipes that in real life look pretty good. I am pleased with the final results. Not perfect but will work well for my application.

This is gonna be really cool. I love rebuilds. The same but different. I am in the front row here …… Jeff

NICE save on the front axle , JM ! A thing like that can be a mojo killer and a real test of patience. Glad it came apart cleanly and you were able to render a good solid repair … this is coming together nicely. Keep going Jeff

How did I miss this ??? Very cool build. The extras on the engine look great and have given me a couple ideas for my next Cummins build. I LOVE the paint job ! Perfect colors. I will be taking notes on this one for sure… Jeff

Incredible !!

How COOL is THAT!!! Used to see Triline trucks locally a lot back in the day. They were really cool looking and you knew what it was in a blink of an eye, but we don’t see them at all any more. Sadly. I miss seeing them. I plan to do a Freightliner cab over in the old colors.

Looks beautifully straight and square.

My last ‘official’ order from Jerry at Model Truckin ….. thanks Jerry for filling an empty hole with a great product and even greater customer service. And thank you for finding someone to take up the reins, I for one will support the new vendor and wish you all the best for your retirement and or your next adventure. Thanks Jerry … CHEERS! Jeff

Wow ………….. my eyes hurt. Brian, my builds are heading for the garbage can. You have the skills of a MASTER model builder !!!! Jeff

Thats cool! The patina is perfect !

Neat idea. I never would have thought of that. And the weathering is really sweet ! Nice job !

I agree, it is one of AMT’s real good ones with not a lot of fit issues and builds up into a real nice dump truck. Nice job on this one. Really good job on the dump box. This turned out really sweet. Those heavy steel heated Montone boxes are cool, I have often wondered how heavy they were empty …. I bet they were heavy. Great looking truck Jeff
