Romell, By lazy axle, do you mean lift axle(pushers and tags)? If so, you can Google "lift axle" and see how they are constructed. There are many variations in design from different manufacturers. Basically, they usually have 2 small air bags situated in the design that inflate with the control inside the truck lifting the axle/tires off the ground. Deflating those and inflating the suspension air bags will lower it to operating position. If you are looking to get one for your build, GWtrucks, sold through sourkrauts, has a nice, multipiece unit in resin. You can also contact Gary at GWtrucks directly here. gwtrucks@yahoo.com

2 for 1 margaritas at Chilis!

I would just take a piece of rolled tape(sticky side out) and dab it on the leftover glue. I have used this method many times in different situations and it works great.

Ditto!

I read a write up about Morgan having to fell a few trees to repair Richard Hammonds recently wrecked Morgan Aeromax. http://www.carsuk.net/the-hamster-wrecks-his-morgan/ Update: "The Eva GT looks stunning. And it’s modern, with its bonded aluminium chassis and superformed aluminium body panels making this a complete 21st century Morgan."

Came across this the other day. This car is stunning! I think the 14 spoke wheels are more fitting with the design. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/stunning-morgan-eva-gt-revealed/251896/pictures/stunning-morgan-eva-gt-revealed.aspx?im=379034

I like the idea! Cowinkydink, I have been entertaining the thought of a COE with the Can Do bed also.

I'm with ya on this! As popular as pickups are these days, why are there so few available?

Mark, I think Harry pities us(most of us) for getting creamed last time so he gives us one that is easy.

Hey Doug, No Peterbilt 320 that I am aware of. Like Charles said, check with Dave at AITM. Also, you can check with this Dave as well. He has a Mack MC/MR cab listed. If I am not mistaken, he is a member here in addition to the other forums. He goes by Cargostar. 3rd cab down. http://modelsbydave.com/cabs.html This Mack is the most common FEL(front end loader) in the WM fleet. They are also used for some of their rearload trucks and I have seen them as rolloffs too, though, not with WM.

Don't shoot me, but, what is an amature photogerpher? Do they live underground?

Codie, You should be able to get info on the Mack through the Mack museum. Contact them via email and put in a request for it. They will put you on a list and it typically takes 3-6 weeks to receive the info. I have gotten info on several Mack models including sales literature, pics, equipment data sheets which includes measurements, available engines, chassis specs, etc. Here is their address: mack.museum@macktrucks.com

Rodney, Did Keith ever get a website up?

Pete 359, especially the short hood and 36" sleeper. Pete 386 with the 70" stand up sleeper. 70's Freightliner COE

Considering the price, I guess the shipping is reasonable. http://cgi.ebay.com/Reno-Racer-Model-Plane-Set-Includes-P-51D-T-6-Racer-/270589071087?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f005d8eef

Yep, just found it....a little late.

Scott, Any updates on this build?

Paul, That turned out great! Nice weathering! This may have been his inspiration. http://public.fotki.com/mountaindewd/rat-wrecker/

Someone has been working on this in resin, but I can't remember who. Let me do some digging to see if I can come up with it.

Tamiya TS-14 is the only thing I have ever used for the basecoat and it has always turned out fine. Here is an example. #2 Cab guard/storage box, grille and wheels are done this way.

Ben, I remember you sending me an email about those parts. I must've deleted somehow. What was it missing again?

Is there an official start date for this distraction if not already started? How about a deadline? I haven't built a plane since that Harrier got modified when I was about 12, but this sounds like fun! Jairus, FYI, December 7, 1941
