  1. Yes, then trim it to the width that I want and paint with acrylic paint.
  2. The buckles are photo etched parts from detail master, the belts themselves are made from masking tape. Thanks
  3. My original plan was to use the rear tubs from the 70 Super Bee pro street kit but someone I know gave me a resin chassis that was already tubbed. After all the work I had to do cleaning up imperfections I think it would have been easier to stick to the original plan! The rear end is from the Super Bee kit, Thanks
  4. Got some paint and foil on the Fairlane, ready to be clear coated tomorrow.
  5. An update on my coupe build. Just couldnt leave well enough alone! I added some front fenders and made new and more accurate hood and bumpers.
  6. Thanks, those are from Ron Coon resins
  7. Finished my dirt tracker but as always in the pics I see a few items that need some attention!
  8. Nice job, I like the workhorse trucks best.
  9. Maybe I am just missing it somehow, but I dont see a date anywhere?
  10. Attended the IPMS show near Indianapolis over the weekend. Was shocked that my Freightliner was awarded 1st place in the Commercial vehicles class.
  11. I really prefer the look of Cabover trucks but someone gave me this one so I am going to give it a go. Looking for pics of what people have done with this kit for inspiration!
  12. I like what you have done so far. I had fun building this kit.
  13. I didnt take any pics as I made them but it was pretty simple. I used 1mm brass rod for the mounts, evergreen plastic strip and .015 aluminum rod for the main mirror along with mirror finish foil for the glass. Thank you
  14. I recently built one of these and I agree the directions leave something to be desired. But it does build up to a pretty good looking cabover once you get past that.
  15. Lots of nice touches, I am learning a lot from looking at everyone's builds.
  16. I recently built one of these AMT freightliners too so understand about the instructions. They seem to assume you already are knowledgeable about big trucks. Looks like you figured it out though!
  17. Just tried some myself. They worked fine over primer. I did use setting solution.
  18. Great job, Like the colors
  19. That Ghostbusters car was amazing
  20. Went to the MDA Show In Roanoke yesterday. Close but no cigar! Actually I was quite flattered as I thought there were some pretty awesome trucks there.
  21. Beautiful build, my next one will have the shortened wheelbase too.
