There are a lot of very nice people here that are willing to help or trade parts for other parts...I have done it countless times many times Ill send a part to someone for free they need just to help out. I have a huge parts needs list myself like many here do...some parts can be easy to find while others just are not...One cant know if they do not try.

Tom...My room is smaller that yours...makes for huge challenges at times too.

Another option is to put a wanted post here...maybe someone will have them and be willing to part with them...cant hurt to try.

Welcome JR..... One of the best tips anyone ever gave me is to treat every part as if it were a model itself and take your own time building...

That crew cab looks cool Terry.

A buddy of mine here has that kit unbuilt still....old KWs are nice.

Ed... I wish I could afford one even a used or old style one off a junkyard car or..? Our truck needs another 75HP which one would easily add to it.

PM coming Tommy...thanks...!

I like the odd or old small blowers...just fascinated with them...love to find one I could rig up on our truck that mounts like a alternator.

Nice scores Tommy....the Dodge van is just like one my dad owned when I was a kid...cool stuff...

How about a propane tanker or acid tanker..?

Thanks Andy....it was a unexpected fun build for a warped kit......first time I attempted anything like this.

Hey Kevin.... I like it....nice work...

How about a portable car crusher trailer?

Welcome Tom...

Nice work...looks good to me...

Dan.... I can relate to that....every place I have ever worked for had guys like that. I spent most of my time doing the job of 2 or more people including the boss at one. He come in at about 10AM then go to lunch around 12 and come back around 2 or 3 then go home at 5PM...complain about not getting much done..??? Me many times id get there and start work around 4 or 5 AM work till 5 or ? PM just to get stuff that had to go out done on time and get gripes about overtime..really...? Some people just never get it I guess...? Funny thing is since I cant work anymore I actually miss working....have in there Dan.

OK Miles....was just wondering I have been looking for the old AMT 70,71 Ford LTD 4door HT model to build a family owned car replica of its kind of like a promo or snap kit/model. Thanks.

Jeff.... That those are COOL....! Nice work...!

Miles.... Is it a 70 Ford LTD 4door HT you got...or a 70 Galaxie 4door sedan...???

Thanks Don....things like this happen all too often and in the prime of life...been kind of rough but managing.

Johan did make a 71 Toronado kit and promo...love to have one my first 1 to 1 car was a 72 Toronado. Johan also made a 74 AMX snap kit...its another I have been after it was in there series of snap kits...72 Torino,77? Cadillac Coupe Deville,75 Cutlass S,Stude Lark and ? I always liked their snap kits they build into great models.

Nice builds.... I have always enjoyed building those kits...got a hold of some re-issues or originals but still looking for others yet...I never get tired of these kits...easy,fun to build.

Me too...LOL... I never get tired of it. Nice builds...! I am afraid of that too Steve...hope not.

I believe the crew cabs had roof skin ribs too...? Yes the Ford tough Truck dualie kits rear fender extensions will fit any of the AMT 73 through 79 year ones with the wide bed...I have both and they fit each other very well. I like the crew cab Ford idea I have a resin crew cab someone did years back..not 100% correct but think with some work it will be doable.
