Old Buckaroo

I have never seen one before , that's cool ! Scratch build a couple up - you've got all the dimensions !

Very nice , love those old little big rigs for their era. That trailer is awesome - is that a scratch built item ??

I always thought that L-700 frame looked like a kids wagon next to the other big rig models. Very cool project !

Now this is a cool project !

Small progress on Toy VIII , parts box big block and tunnel ram. Removed the windshield wipers and sprayed a primer coat to show the flaws I couldn't see on the bare plastic. The passenger side front fender and quarter panel was shorted in the mold and got some extra plastic put in. I checked all my 70 1/2 kits and actually this was the best out of the bunch. Thanks for looking in!

That '55 sedan delivery Pepsi truck is just begging to be modeled. That is so cool but on another note, all the models that are marketed with Coke on them annoy me 🤪

Nice - it seems forever since anyone has done the poseable front axle. I like the 86" truck length, something different and out of the box. Good to see your still here posting Mark.

Beautiful Mercury Redstone - what type of filler did you use to fill the tube spirals?

Florida man was on a mission!

Now this is one of the coolest dio's ever - It really tells a story. You definitely knocked this one out of the park.

Still making progress on Toy V - found a different Big Block in the spare engine box. Drilled a hole through a perfectly good oilpan - but hey, I need to use what I have on hand otherwise nothing would get built. I cut the megaphones collectors off the headers and added a short section of drilled out plastic tubing to not make it look like a canon barrel. Headers are held on with white glue to check clearance. Reworked the parking lights to resemble 68/69 bumper - still needs some putty work * Intake is only sitting there and I did not notice it before picture

I still have a bit of AITM tires and such, I will dig them out tomorrow and see what all there is.

Michael - Very nice , like stepping back in time to see such a fine model displayed with the box is such great condition. I'll check through my parts - I may have a smaller set of tires for you.

Holy cow - Detroit is a mess to say it mildly without getting banned. 😲

That is a fine looking S&M Duster - one of my most favorite teams. You're right about the reference material back in the day, magazines consisted of a color photo on the cover if you were lucky and B&W pics in the article. The book you mentioned is awesome. I have an old S&M Duster build I stalled out on due to finding out the engines were painted ford blue by Jake King.

The 5th wheel looks 100% fantastic, I had to smile when I saw those hollow diffs - as I knew its only gonna be momentarily that way . Your scratch building skills are top notch!

I really like this one. Having to cruise in a station wagon back in the early 80's would've been a lot cooler with a wagon like this!

That's a real beauty, great color combination. Those snap kits are the best, so many things you can do with them.

That is just crazy the amount of stuff like that out in the open. I like the idea of your book though When I lived in southern Nevada Id go fly RC Planes between Pahrump and Death Valley. That BLM land was nothing but a above ground landfill for stripped stolen cars, meth labs made in old abandoned campers truck and pull type. Heaps and heaps of garbage bags and bullet ridden appliances.. It was a sad sight to see..

Nice production line and the Hardee's car turned out fantastic. I have a couple of the Salvino kits but yet to crack them open. Ive been working on two Polar Lights Nascar Chargers off and on and they've been a challenge.

Now that is a impressive truck. That Ford chassis has been perfect for a lot of those oldies. Ive always liked the original AMT kits over the round two, I like the harder plastic. The new ones remind me of rubber maid plastic when you cut or try sanding it. Have you decided on a color yet ? Keep up the great work 👍

Love the details you're adding. Reminds me of a buddy that would saw off the heads, valve covers, oil pans, ect and add a colored piece of construction paper to simulate the gaskets..... Gotcha thinking now don't I 😄

That is a really interesting picture from the dirtiest fuel tank Ive ever seen to the soot covered wall.

Funny, when I saw the prototype truck pic I was thinking of the song "Wolf Creek pass" although they were hauling chickens instead of produce. Brian if you need a dual snorkel air cleaner for this let me know - Ive got some , or you gonna give it one of those nasty oil bath filter systems??

Brian Thank you I cant take the credit for that bug deflector completely. There use to be a seller on ebay "Spaulding Trucking" or something similar. He sold resin cabs and other parts. He had a mystery box of misc parts and what not and the first visor I ever seen was in that jackpot. So the modeler I was fabricated up a bunch - the see through plastic was file folder tabs that were made for holding small paper labels. The frame was aluminum tape for furnace repair or patches. I used canopy glue to stick it on. I ran across some the other day looking for parts, I was happy to see quite a bit of AITM resin parts, and stuff that KJ a fellow truck modeler had made.
