He worked for Fairacy Trucks in Colorado when these photos were taken I believe they sold IH trucks. Here are some Scouts that he added stripes to. -
Bizzare Race Car thread

Here's one that some people I know run in the Lemons races. -
What else do you collect
89cxsport replied to BIGTRUCK's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I collect diecast construction equipment, hot wheels and matchbox cars of the Ford and European brands. I also collect books ranging from kids books that I remember when growing up to current best sellers. I also collect weight around the waist line that I need to get rid of. -
I have to say after reading all of these I realize that a lot of people had a really hard time this past year. I on other hand have felt that while this year has been tight it was no where near a hardship. I maintained similar pay to last years maybe a few hundred more. My wife have come closer to paying off both her car and our credit card, and we have been considering doing a medium size home improvement project. At work we had our best month ever in March, with sales and service being the highest ever. We hired a third technician, so we improve the life of someone who had been out of work for over year. I feel for everyone who has had it rough and thought maybe we needed to see that some parts of our economy is slowing coming back to life to give those who are down some hope.

What are your Projects for 2011
89cxsport replied to Clay's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I don't plan on building anything next year, I need to get my "man cave" fixed up organized and set up so that I can build. I also plan on downsizing some kits that I no longer plan on building. If I get the shed in order I may try to pick a Mercedes Benz DTM model to build, or the Jagermeister Porsche kit. -
Fifty Ford
89cxsport replied to MikeMc's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Makes me want to pull mine out and do something to it, either the scale model or the 1:1 in the backyard. -
Very nice I want build one of those one day.

Interests outside of model cars?
89cxsport replied to Hattley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I work on european cars for a living, and since entering that field I have gotten into NASA and SCCA track events, I loosely follow world challenge racing but only if my boss is driving. I read a heck of a lot, my library goes from David Baldacci to Stephen White. I also have several teen and youth book in my collections because after several long reads a few simple "quick" reads is a nice break. I have an intrest in early Fords and intend to someday complete my project pick up that resides in my back yard. I collect diecast construction models and Hot Wheels, as well as any other automotive trinket that strikes my fancy. -
Nice build looks like you got the details right for a pool service truck. Under the hood looks good as well.

tv and movie cars they should have made
89cxsport replied to junkman1153's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A Tucker from the movie Tucker:A Man and His Dream. -
That model blows my mind. I had a 1:1 F-6 truck that I used for parts for a someday project, and while doing some research on those old bonus built trucks I ran across an article about a real F-8 with sleeper and if memory serves this model comes real close to the real thing. After some searching on the web I found the page here's a link Sleeper Truck

My first model was a tank, got it for Christmas around eight years old I still have it today. I remember painting it green, and it was not the olive drab style other but a bright green which was my favorite color at the time. Shortly after that I got a Monogram 57 Chevy, I also still have, also painted the same green as the tank, same bottle of paint I believe.

Very nice build you have going on here. This is one of the kits I would like to add to the to be built pile.
-
Amazing love those old land speed cars.

Rick, thanks for the invite to your club meeting, doubt I'll make that trip, I don't trust me truck to make that trip. I recently got back into modeling after a break so I was unaware of any shows in the area.
