You really do your research Ihave only seen that movie once at a drive-in (shows how old I am) many years ago.I was thinking of get one of these kits.But I'm into details,I'll have to getthis truck, but first watch that movie again a couple hundred times

Very good looking hauler I like the as working weathering

Looking very good my friend.Do you think this could be done as a full detail with motor and other things.

Heah it has been a few weeks. Life has to get in the way sometimes got some stuff done,figuring out the ride height,got oil pan made,Still think about added head bolt details, bell housing started,made up the front engine mount.Still thinking about rear bell housing mounts. I've also got started on my leaf springs making those from brass, had fun figuring out how to make spring eyes incase no one has worked with this stuff you have to heat it so it will form the way you want,I just use my bic lighter, heat the brass,let it cool for a moment, clean the black off,then shape it,Iuse brass tube to shape it.I think it's called annealing?????,don't know the fancy name for it.Now have to make spring bushings

My 29 roadster pick up> this has not been touched in almost 3 years.The frame started with the speedwagon frame and scratch tube cross members.Fender set from the speedwagon.The body tub is from the speedwagoncowl and ala cart body with lots of body work The box is modified sweedwagon back body.

Getting stuff done! Along with these I do have a big truck on the go. Got paint on the Deuce this is a model that I wanted to build for sometime All the kits out there where junk they did build nice looking cars but they where just not right.I found a sight that has tons of info on the real car and clones that where just perfect so there is lots of info. The frame is scratch built the only kit part in the frame is the center member it is from the ala cart. The front end has a modified front axle with scratch done spindles leaf springs with working shackles the same goes for rear end.More to come

Looking good Ilike your thinking on the color

That pan looks good so far. I would love to see manx body in a larger scale

That beast looks awsome ,I say do the DUCK

I ,ll be on it by Friday have to get some long over due work done in the shop.. plus finding more in the works kits than I thought

Still going Ihave to try to get somethings done here motovation here is a starter list 1929 A roadster pickup (kit bash) 1932 5Window (the Milnarcoupe kit bash/scratch build)

ditto

Just wondering if there where some normal type of truck would be best

Thinking of building one of these for sometime would it be in here or somewhere else

Been there it will work out if you try

Thats looking good I realy like the visor I'm watchin this keep up the awsome job

Jarda that is one very nice truck gets me thinking (that could be bad for my wallet ) time to kiss up to the wife

nice trucks can almost smell the monkey

Thanks truckabilly having fun with it.I just wish it was scrap plastic it is pure fresh plastic

It is a very strange short cab, was wondering about that myself. But it does flow together very nice I think

I remember that kit from way back (thats along time ago whoa flashbacks are good)

Got some things done this week, most of all overhauling the toy box . Showing how I made my exhaust manifolds most everything is done the same way zappin some plastic together and grinding away.Made intake the same and started to make compresser for the brake system modified the lower rad hose pipe and did more detail work on block

JT that unit is sweet by the color I almost would have bet a reliable truck good thing I don't bet very nice

Thanks make sence they would surely be more dependable than steam now my ?is trucks See we have this one moron at work a lic mechanic HD says the 70's just want to show him he don't know anything lol

Sweet looking build John like the sleeper just looks so much better. Glad it's not a true coffin sleep those where true coofin if you woke up you were very lucky.Just think of sleeping under the front of the trailer in the front on the old trucks behind the drives and before exhausts where raised up.!
