Blown 10's I will be there with my all black Pete and Cool fruits rig shown in the Truck section under some of my builds and hopefully anouther

I tlooks great keep up the good work

Who from here is going would like to meet some of you

Had some down time this week enf and started on the fabtication of the frame and headers for the V12 will get some pics soon

May be I should have clarified a bit moreo on the type of wheel I want to use on this build it would be the type in the front of this fiat. http://i15.ebayimg.com/03/i/001/12/7a/2a9f_1_sbl.JPG

The last one I saw of those was in Roanoke Va 4 years ago was about $60,000.00 and only got 10 MPG

my plan for it is this . I am planing on an 8 inch chop to the cab custom frame and aircraft seats wil lalso need some front wide rims from the can do Wreaker Ihave the tyres the engine will be a 12v 71detroit I have some of the exhaust made already and thanks Mackinac 359 after it is completed still not sure where to post the picks of it and I hope you saw my post on some of my builds posted here . here is the site they are on :::: http://s766.photobucket.com/albums/xx306/MaddTrucker/Models/

Iam working ona build and want opinions . I am going to do a Pete with a V12 but my question is on the front wheels should I use the standard rims or go with spoke type used in drag raceing if those are used what scale would fit a heavy truck tyre any help and opinions are welcomed

I livie in Fredricksburg Va and they are driveing like idiots out there but then they cant drive in warm sunny weather either I was going to go to the Midnight modelers meeting as wel but wih an expected possable 20 inchehs I may not make it

the last I saw there was a set on evile bay going for 115 bucks

I went into a walmart wherhe I live they had the reissue of the doge truck with flat bed trailer and 40 ford went to get two of them and I was told I couldnt buy them as they no longer carried models the clerk removed them from the shelf and dumpepd them into a cart . I later learned they refused to carry models cause good ole Wally couldnt get what he wanted to stock .. there was also an instance where some one made rideing mowers and supplied them to walmart when the cut the cost of them he sued due to a contract he had with them they pulled the mowers and wont sell them again

Thanks guys took a while to post them

Looks good keep up the good work
