A Minnesota staple, tator-tot hotdish. Yes up here in the cold and white north it's hotdish not casserole.

Looks like a few full sizes garages of guys that I know. But they suffer from a disease that is way to expensive for me to get.

OMG did that turn out to be a great result in a short time. That thing looks like it traveled thru time from the early '60's. It has the look of a farmer's go to town truck but with a bit of hot rod mixed in. I know turbo's were not all that common in the '60's . Still looks fun.

While I'm a flathead lover but my two cents worth, you almost have to go with the stovebolt in order to stay with the "something different" theme. Although a turbo'ed Flattie would be cool.

This the way both full sized hot rods and models happened. Before 3d printing and the aftermarket. You built kits and used the spares for something different. Or that's what I did.

this will be interesting. I see a mid to late '30's frame and a few related bits. will watch to see where this goes.

thank you all

Hello all, I would like to know if there a source for a steering lift axle for semis? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gary

never mind will figure it out myself

I'm looking for a person who can supply me with 1/16 Peterbilt/Kenworth wheels and tires. I'm looking at least 100 tires and the same number of wheels. Equal amounts front and rear. Or maybe a file to print. Thank you for any help. Gary

Seems like every small town I drive through has at least one version of this somewhere. thank you for capturing small town America.

Maybe a '57 Fairlane with a wiper blade in use because of the rain?

great finished unit. Had several in collection but they are gone. They always looked like they were going to tip over on their nose. The Ford C-600 was the same to me.

Great show truck for back in the day. Love the wide whites. The wire drivers would not have much of a chance with the torque from that monster. Love the paint scheme and the chrome sleeper.

IMHO the kits roof is to flat. The Ghostbuster's was the same way. not anything looking like either example the real thing pictured. Maybe back in the day they could have ordered either way. They just don't look right to me.

I don't know if this goes here or not. If not please move to the right place. As I am cleaning up my stash I found the title kit. I bought for my son but he had no interest in models. I know ,I'm a failure, but that is good news for you. This kit is here for the taking, first come first serve. It is free, all you need to do is pay for shipping .As you see the box is a little rough but it is all there.

got it yesterday. must have gotten missplaced, it's here and that's what matters.

Not yet. Starting to get worried. I seem to be missing out of something great.

I have a link to a kit that I have for sale on Ebay for those who are interested. It is the Peerless logging trailer. The item number is 20023154458. Also thank you to those that gave me advice on sell the kits. The box lead was great but I have a connection with a large shipping company and get a great deal from them. Can't say who or no more deal. Gary

She started her last tour here in St. Paul. She had a lot of energy and a very good voice for someone in her early 70's. Going to missed by a lot of us who were fans for decades.

I'm updating the list of the kits that I have and should be done in a few days. Is anyone else interested in the updated version or even the old list. It will be a pdf so I will need your email. I will give everyone here a shot before I continue on Ebay.

Thank you all of your words of encouragement. Carl, the box size you used is the same one I have and will handle about 90% of what I have. My son worked one of the biggest box suppliers in the country and I got a very good deal on them when i started this journey Two years ago. That's how long I've been holding out. With number of kits I have I'll get the wording correct very fast. I'm still updating the model list. Just found a couple of boxes with more in them. Geuss I wasn't as ready as I thought.

I was just fine until they started reissuing the kits that I built in my youth. Also the kits I could not get when the children were growing up. Something about feeding them(lol). So they go.

Thank you for all of your comments. The listing for the semi was a general one that I wrote to use with all my listings, so I didn't catch about the shipping. It will be revised. As for Facebook. Started to use it and got into a bad experience on there and will not go back. I didn't start this journey to make a lot of money. It is to remove from my house something that stares at me everyday only to remind me I can't do this anymore. Thank you for the links to my listings, I will try to do better in the future listings. Gary

I have two on ebay now. Teh Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne and the Ford Interceptor Police car. I would post a link but i don't know how, sorry.
