Pics from the contest are here.... http://public.fotki....ntest-4-7-2012/ Bill

Contest is this Saturday in Joplin, Missouri

You're right Casey. I was mistaking the tree in the bottom left for a bike. I should have looked more closely at the pic.

This is the one I came across on EBAY. Now I'm wondering how many different 1/25-24th scale bikes are out there.

Never noticed the missing flap, my eyes were fixed on the parts. I saw the Bigfoot, not a match. The blue I have is identical to the white one posted above, including the tree #. Austin, I'll get back with you later today. Bill

Pic I found of the AMT GMC Jimmy Bushwacker w/ trail bike... sprue is an exact match, not to say this tree wasn't included in other truck kits.

Those are some nice looking bikes James. I'm saving your pics for reference when I start mine. Thanks! Bill

After doing some more searching, I think the white bike is from the AMT GMC Jimmy Bushwacker kit. Sprue doesn't match the one in the Bigfoot model. The Bigfoot bike appears to be a larger dirt bike rather than a 70cc or so trail bike. Like to have one from the Bigfoot kit.

It is dark blue. Mighty small bikes to go with such big trucks. I like to pick up the little extra's that used to be included in kits whenever I get the chance. Thanks all.

Thanks Dave. The blue is identical, with the same sprue number. It's missing the seat, but that gives me an excuse to start dabbling in a little casting.

Picked a pair of these up, wondering what kit they came in. One is molded in white and one in blue. Sprue is marked F 2502221 Thanks, Bill

Here's the old '80 Mopar I get around in.

Sometimes an outside influence isn't needed at all.This '53 Ford survived a local contest,(took 3rd in trucks). I brought it home, walked in the front door and dropped it on the floor. After looking at the ugly wreck and pretty ribbon for a few months I finally put it back together. It was kind of like building a Pro-Shop kit, everything was painted and ready to go.

Here's another white truck... Peterbilt 359

The chassis matches with the AMT '71 Mustang. My unpainted '71 chassis has the same factory splice line in the rear floor pan area where the mold was modified to fit the 1/25th body.

But his chassis is longer than my 1/25th AMT.

I pulled an AMT '69 Mach 1 to compare and the rear floor pan section is longer on your chassis. Looking at your photo it seems something funny is going on there, as in the faint hint of a splice. All other parts of the chassis looks correct. Maybe I can scan mine and get a photo up, my daughter won't be back with my camera until later this afternoon.

Prefer original issue, but will take em' as I can get em'. I have the Johan Haulin Hearse on my bench now. Bill

Here's some of the gang that hangs around the garage.....

My 1990 issue has the WW inserts.

Future and food coloring

But we haven't discussed 100 watt bulbs yet.

Is that a Foster's Lager hiding behind the vice??
