That's a 1949-53 model, my favorite year as well. AzTom

That is a cool looking truck. Did you do the weathering? Do you know what it was used for? Looks like the boom extends too far out the back for a standard wrecker. AzTom

That sounds cool, any photos? AzTom

I added an album of "Detail" shots to my Fotki. These are close ups of wheels, engines, parts or whatever I think I may need someday. AzTom Detail Shots

Here's the Ertl one, It's a 47. I have not measured it but it looks correct. AzTom

This may help as well. Original 48 Ford Ad.

Those are so cool. We had a Model AA Ford we used as a torch wagon. That's where the idea came from for the Model T I built. I'm hoping to find some photos of our AA so I can build it. AzTom

Very nice! These look so real I'm surprised they don't actually rust away on your shelf. AzTom

Well ... it's all over! What a great time. The Grandson and I went today, Sunday and checked out everything that came in since Friday. I added many more photos to both albums. AzTom Brian, Railfreak78 Congratulations on your two "Peoples Choice" awards.

For you guys that couldn't make it to the Goodguys show and those young guys at the model show that couldn't walk the 40 miles of cars, here are the links. GoodGuys AZ Model Show Enjoy, AzTom Nice seeing all you great model guys!

I uploaded over 300 photos to my Fotki. Enjoy, AzTom Goodguys AZ Nov 2010

Well, I made it to the show today, got some models entered .. walked about 40 miles looking at cars. Too tired tonight but I have a lot of photos, maybe tomorrow Good seeing you guys! AzTom

This one was parked behind my truck one morning at our hotel in Kansas a few years ago. I think they have several of them. AzTom

Welcome! The model is looking great, the interior, wheels and pipes look awesome. I checked out your Fotki and added you to my friends list .. you have some very nice build there. AzTom

I have about ten packed up ready for tomorrow..... Hope you guys like custom die-cast .. that's about all I have Printed tickets on-line, Both camera batteries are charged ... I'm ready AzTom

That is cool, thanks for sharing. For what it's worth it is a Case-IH not a Case. Case does make construction equipment and has for years but their dump trucks are the large articulated off road type. The Case-IH is the Ag division and the 4300 was made mainly for fertilizer spreader boxes. They also make a sprayer using that cab on a hi-crop chassis. It looks like it makes a nice heavy duty dump truck and those flotation tires would be great on muddy construction sites. I saved the photo in my To Do folder for a future project to convert a 1/64 sprayer that Ertl makes. AzTom

Well, it looks like five of us are going to be there I'm hoping the grandson can make it Sunday with me. AzTom

Oh My! A tow truck, don't get any better than that. My favorite type of truck. AzTom

That frame looks sooooo realistic. I need to play with that hair spay stuff, have another torch wagon I need to do. I'm going to try and sand off the ribs, at least the top two and glue small half round styrene strips on to make the 38/39 cab with three ribs. Can't wait to see where this one is heading, looks like 1 ton rear wheels. AzTom

That weathering is absolutely fantastic! I don't get the holes in the passenger door though, that rib is stamped with the door and not removable. Seeing those rib lines up close bums me out. I just bought one of these kits to replicate a 39 Ford I had and hadn't really looked at it yet. That is still the 37 cab with a 38 nose. AzTom

Looks great Brian, The Lawn mower is a nice touch. You know JD actually worked on franchising a lawn care service back in the 80? Look forward to seeing it this weekend. AzTom

I'll see you there Friday Dan. I may even bring some models?? AzTom

Great pics of some awesome cars. Brian what day are you going, looks like Fri for us. AzTom PIR this Sunday

They were working on a roadster version a while back, wonder what happened to that? AzTom

So that's how you make your models look soooo real, you're using real rusted tin AzTom
