    Thanks! Hopefully soon. I really like the look of this one. Just lost some steam. Then, something else shiny caught my eye. Later-

    That is exactly what I was thinking. Stay tuned. Later-

    I went to the Ohio Valley Regional Contest and swap meet in Louisville, KY yesterday and picked up.some good deals. Came home to a few packages of stuff I got recently. These are some of the pics along with more 70's Dodge and Chevy pickup and Blazer rebuilders. Later-

    Thank you. Looking at the instructions shows just what I have. Great! I wanted that chassis for a project anyway. Now I just have to remember which project. I know some have used it under other vehicles. Later-

    So, I bought these parts today in a bag for a couple of bucks at a model show. I thought the fram would be handy. Can anybody ID what kit they are from? Later-

    Oh Man! I'm looking for one of those!! Nice score! Later-

    I like where you're going with this. It will be good to see what you come up with. Later-

    Thanks for replying to that post for me. I had typed all of that info in about that cab on Saturday but must have forgotten to hit "Enter". I'm pretty sure that is the cab. I need to dig through my stuff and find it because I have the rest of that kit-minus the cab- in its box in one of my bins. Later-

    Last night's progress while Zooming with SamIAm. Model building and good company. Hard to beat it! Got the rear airbags made. I had to redo the support bracing for the bags. Where I had it made them too tall. Still a bit long for bags but I believe once its all painted black it won't be so noticeable. Also did some more work on the grill. Replaced the molded in bars with flat styrene and brass rod. Just three more rods to install and the grill is done. Later-

    Michael, Loving the work you did on this. And to think, you did it twice! I can't wait to see them in person in Louisville. Got to.get me one.of these B400's Later-

    I have a glue bomb of this Paddy Wagon myself (and parts of a Tognotti T) I'll have to keep a close eye in this project for ideas as I don't have many spare parts so I'll be looking for ideas. Later-

    Thanks! Unfortunately they were just pieces from my stash that were not in a package. Later-

    Good ideas. I always liked those NASCAR trucks and had a couple, but never built them. I did use a NASCAR suspension on a 64 Chevy pickup. Definitely gets it low with little to no mods. Thanks. Glad you're liking it. Later-

    Sledsel- Definitely not taken as a criticism. I appreciate the input. I never even realized that I had done it differently from one to the other. Isn't that strange that I didn't? Now I'm thinking about trying it on another kit to see which I like better. You're correct that the bed does look like a Dodge bed now. Never realized that either.... Thanks again for the input!

    I think I'm going with a two tone paint. The light gold will be the main color and root beer for the bottom and the roof. I got the side trim made tonight for the passenger side. Made of U channel with a thin, flat strip inside the chanel. Later-

    I'm thinking of adding lower body trim and doing this in the tab and root beer on the bottom similar to this pickup. So, I dug through my strip styrene and ame up with enough of two types that will work to make side trim. Later-

    Just did a trade off of FB for these. Later-

    Yeah, I'm not sure I like it. I have some cans of AMC Big Bad Blue.... Later-

    I dug through my paints today and came up with this Dupli-Color Perfect Match Toyota paint. I don't know what the color name is since I no longer have the cap and Dupli-Color was only kind enough to print the color name on the cap. It is a light metallic gold. I don't yet know if this will be the final color or if it will be a base for something else. Later-

    I am new to Kentucky. Moved here in February from Eastern Washington State. I hope I can make it to the contest and I'll keep in touch with you to meet up. I'll PM you. Later-

    Got home and these were waiting on me from the Postman. Got them off of Marketplace. The bagged kit is a 68 or 69 Olds- not sure. The AMX is in decent shape and complete. Glad to have another with the stock hood. Got the AMX for $15 and the Olds for $10. Later-

    Driving home this morning and saw a Yard Sale sign. Stopped to find most of the normal garbage. I asked if they had any model kits. The guy brought out these that he had said he had for years. Both complete and unstarted. The Duster is still sealed inside. Got them both for $15. Now I'm looking for more Yard Sales on the way home. Just stopped at my second. Lol. Later-

    Great stance and color choice. It may be a bit late now with the dark body color but a white or silver roof would look great! Silver would probably cover the green better. Later-

    I love what you have done to this and I really like the B400 body. I have wanted to build one of those for a long time. This is really moving me to start one. You're going to Louisville next month? I am also planning to go. I'd love to meet up and get a closer look at this. Later-

    Got these Dodge pickups and the Firebird delivered today. Got them cheap off of FB Marketplace. The black Dodge has a Chevy bed. Now to find the missing parts I need to rebuild the pickups. I didn't know guy was throwing in the 63 Galaxie parts. Later-
