  1. But there is something connecting the plow to the lift...the incredible power of magic!
  2. Didn't even know I wanted one of these until I saw it!
  3. 2002- year of car. P51 was a Mustang. Makes perfect sense now. I have to ask... did the name of the dealership influence your decision to buy the car there?
  4. Really cool! Used to be a local wrecking yard with a '55 International 1-ton 4x4 set up similar to this.
  5. Really cool- looks like the kind of stuff my neigbor Bill used to have stacked up out behind his workshop.
  6. All I know about Woodstock is this- if you claim to remember it, you weren't really there.
  7. Not a Corvette guy by any stretch, but I think I might have found inspiration for a future project today at the junkyard.
  8. Seeing that engine and rubbing my hands. Yes, yes.... This one will be sweet!
  9. Andy- forget the Chevy guys- start hanging out with Buick guys. They'd have set you straight!
  10. I've had these on my hard drive for a couple of years- just got around now to upload them. I snapped these three pictures on my way to an appointment, and had every intent of getting some more detailed shots on my way back, but the truck was long gone after my one-hour appointment, and hasn't been seen since. Apparently somebody really wanted it! I think it was on the lot less than a day and a half. Oh, that reminds me- anyone know where a guy might be able to find some 1:25 scale front wheels like this truck has?
  11. Nothing beats a C-Series International- pickup or Travelall.
  12. Though it's been in a few diffferent buildings over the years, I'm still using my ancient gray Glob-Wernicke metal office desk. Back when I first started out it was my mom's, but she let me have it when she got a newer desk a few years back. Now, I also have the desk she replaced the G-W with, and do some work using that one (it's upstairs- Led Hornet was born on that one), but the G-W stays downstairs because even empty it weighs about as much as a Volkswagen, and it is still my main workbench.
  13. Yeah, but they could have 'dumbed down' the plow parts a little bit to keep it all consistent, ya know?
  14. Thanks for the info, Charlie! They look great on the Mack.
  15. I have yet to build one of these- I keep raiding them for parts! Very nice job on them all.
  16. Is it just me, or does that plow seem just a little bit more detailed than the whole truck?
  17. That looks fantastic! I'm wondering where you got those front tires. I know you mentioned that the rears are resin, and the front wheels are from a Mack R model, but if the source for the front tires was named, I missed it.
  18. I like it. I'd maim somebody for one of these Falcons!
  19. This one literally keeps on getting better!
  20. Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel!!!! Hadn't thought of that story in years, until a few weeks ago (don't recall what triggered it) and now here it is again. Can't see any modern construction equipment in usable condition in 87 years. I have to wonder if a lot of those turn-of-the-last-century manufacturers went under because they built their machines too well- ie, they didn't break down often and didn't wear out rapidly, meaning no repeat business.
  21. Love it! Looks like something I'd do in 1:1- keep most of it under budget, saving a little here and there to splurge on some big-ticket parts for it.
  22. Just lovely!
