To me there is scratch,semi scratch ,or kit bashed I'lll show my current KW project to explane what I mean I made the parts showen because it better than trying to fill,or grind kit mounting areas,add small bolt detail,and the thicknes is a little better scaled Kit bash- double bunk,from 2 cabs Semi scratch- frame rails made from flat stock with kit suspention and crossmembers Scratch-new stack brackets from channel,rod,flat stock and alum tube

The thing that throws me off is a chevy being the only thing that survived.The creators of the commercial did there job,it got your attention

that doen't even begin

Just jump in and try stuff,most isn't that difficult.I live kinda near you and know the feeling about shipping charges,but what are you gonna do.I just paid 32 shipping for something that cost 35,but I "needed" them

I gotta ask who and when put out that G wagon.Nice looking goat

I've read this long thread and don't think we need a rust or zomby hunter thread.I'm a gear head and like looking at any thing with wheels,although my intrest these days is trucks,I still look ar the cars in each catigory.I can see putting pick up/suv back in the cars section unless its built to look like Joes plumbing work truck,then it would be in trucks.Wait I'll take that back because it would be too much like SA without the E format.There would be whinning going on then .If there is a seperat weathered section ,then the next thing will be a road weary build shouldn't go with a pre resteration 70 road runner barn find build that shouln't go with a 36 ford sitting in a fence row for 65 years type of build.Combining all race cars together would be ok in my book The main thing is there ain't a whole lot wrong with what is here.Maybe people should shut up and enjoy the fine work going on here.If you need seperate threads just to make your cumputer time easier,shut the thing off and build.My 2 cents

A piece of frame from a kit that's the same is best.If you can find a channel the same size use it.You can make your own channel with flat stock also. I cut the frame on 45 angles and if possible stagger the joints from one side to the other.I've done many that way and are strong.The last one I did I never and it warped. Be sure to get the fish plate on the back of the rail super tight inside the channel and make it at least a couple inches longer than the splice your adding.You may have to add a extra cross member as well. Also use super glue or liquid glue ,the tube stuff takes to long to gas out and the fumes trapped between the fish plate and rail could warp the plastic. Just yesterday I built 2 rails from flat stock,here is a pic

Under glass is to show case built models,does it really matter if its yours or you just want to see some other builds for insperation

I got some #11 blades,an exacto square,an exacto tri angle and some sheet plastic.I put them all to work today and built 2 frame rails for a kenworth

there were 2 massy-fergison kits,one in puller style the rarest big rig, a AMT kenworth/challenge cement mixer

A group of cars,or even just 2 trying to get to the finish line first sounds like a race to me.

nice.You did a good job on the wipers,they are hard to get mounted as well as you have

GREAT FIND the light blue 4200 has a cummins 903,paint it black the paystar,S,and 4300's have international V-800 testors accipolco blue works well The cabovers with a detroit would be painted red

Real nice

one word -google seriously,check here http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm07_may_1991_detro/ alpine green or silver,depends on the year early ones are green

This is a great thread. heres an phantom V12 ,twin turbo with twin air to air intercoolers made from 2 international transtar V800 engines,will be going under an extended hood.fuel pump plumbed and scratch built intake ducting

stretch it out about 2 inches,and ad a mercury bunk from a road boss or other white based kit.just my 2 cents The cummins will work just fine for this application,they were options

some things never change I see no need to change this set up

I support the LHS.Now lets say an online store is $8.00 cheaper,wouldnt shpping eat that saving up?

Awhile ago the trademark police either read it here or were told about it from someone here that a guy was selling paccar logos and had to stop.hope that doesnt happen with this

Id go with the dodge 5 speed.The old one ton u-hauls had standards so its safe to say the larger ones were manual as well

YEAH THINK??

Super cool.I like the red woodie pic.I wasnt expecting a newer vette engine in the blue one by looking at the craigar rims Try to lower the rear abit,too much rake

Thats what happened in north america.thats why jobs went to asia.in the future with limited fuel the jobs will come back because of shipping costs I use the cheap big cans whwn ever posible.If a guy uses a air brush do you use less paint?I was spray bombing some small parts a couple days ago and think more paint went in the air than on the plastic

Blame it on the Canadians wholey .What were dealing with, is 3 or 4 different horribly inneffecent goverment departments "working" together
