hi,I'm glad to hear you building again.I don't know what a,or when a chinese new year is, but if you are..which it sounds like.Happy Chinese new year to you.I don't celabrate to many things.my sweetie and I only real celabrated christmas the first time in awhile....I enjoyed it for the first time in along time.... so enjoy your holiday.I don't want to lose any more builders,they seem to be disapperaing at a high rate.I'd like to see all the builders build and post there works here.I myself have not been posting what I'm working on.and have stated more posting of my work.I have what seems like hundreds started...but that don't upset me.I'm starting to post more of my work,cause I like seeing others work.so please post when you can.enjoy and thanks,Chris

hi All, I've been working on a front blower and Gov. for this engine.AMT never made anything as far as looking right for the gov and front blower plate....so I'm working fixing this one I'm building.I have info and detailed picture of these parts and have tryed to build it the way it really looks.I hope it looks right.I'm working on building another Detroit and will need many,so I'm learning on the way I want to build the next one.I still have to put the control post for the throttle levers on it and a few other things before I put it on the engine.thanks to all for the great coments and I like building the chassis stand I have several and continue to made more.I have many builds going at the same time.Thanks,Chris

I don't worry about how many,how long or how many are started....I do what I feel I wanted to do.its suppose to be fun.it not a job.I know a guy who pumps out kits.....tons ever year.I can't compete with him on how many....and beside he does what he wants.soI would do what you want and try not to worry about how many others are finshing.thanks,Chris

Thanks to all for there posts.I'm working on cutting and making parts for the engine right now.I'm also adding more to the bed frame.I have many pictures of a real Ford LNT8000 that has a detriot like this one in the frame.will post more pics in a day or two.thank you,Chris

Really nice looking build.the work on the kit is realisic to the car.I've owned many nova's and work on more then I can remember.you did great on this one.and like others have said the attention to the detail and the weathering is hard to argue with...great job.thanks,Chris

Good work on this bike.I like the paint work on it,clean looking,Thanks,Chris

Lookin good so far.I like the looks of it.thanks,Chris

Thanks to all.I will continue posting on project.I just recieved about a week or so the belt drive for the blower and I need some racing seat belts for that era.yes I like the black one the best to and it seems most people build the blue version...I like being a little different.thank you,Chris

Thank you,Chris

The decals are the ones that came with the kit.the kit is a Revell kits.thank you,Chris

Jim B, Thank you.The engine is going to be Alpine green or detriot green which one everyone wants to call it.I'm working on the oil cool for the engine now.the engine came from a friend and it was in bad shape...so I have a lot of work ahead of me on that part.I'm looking at gov on the front part of the blower trying to find more info on the dementions and how it suppose to look,cause the used engine does not have one...its missing. The frame stand is a part I made cause it helps me.so i built it the way I want it and yes it extense in and out by removing a pin...on both ends.just made out of scrape plastic.Thanks,Chris

hi All, This is a Willys drag car that raced awhile back.I bought the kit I like it and wanted to do it the black version not the blue.I have a few pictures of the real car from the net.so I;m trying to build it the way it was.I've got this much done so far.The body is dusty,I should have washed it before I took pictures but the next time in a day or two it will be washed.I have a blower drive for it and need to get seat belts of that era.thanks,Chris

Here is some more progress on my Ford.I've started building the bed.I have a ways to go on the bed.I'm following some pictures of a truck I saw as far as the bed goes.The engine was a glue bomb that I have to go in it.I've had to rebuild the sides and the bottom of the oil pan.I've started more work on the bottom of the floor were the airtanks.I built airtanks for the truck to follow more of the pictures of LNTs that I have....oh and video as well.thanks for looking,Chris Thank you...............Chris

Tim, Thank you,I bushinged the front end and its connecting parts.Thank you,Chris

Jim B Yes,the pieces of rod will be mounting for different parts and yes the shocks.Thank you,Chris

This is a project I started along time ago.but didn't know what I wanted it to be or what color it would be,I have that part figured out now.I also was missing parts years ago when it was started and at the time I had many things going on.the parts are coming together now with help from many people.most of the parts are now here only a few remain to be found or purchased.it going to be a hay truck with a trailer being pulled.the engine is a Detriot..no turbo on this one and will be the alpine green...or as close as I can come.the straight truck will have a flatbed on the back of it.it will be green frame,white cab.some updates to the cab will be done as well.I'm looking at a picture of a hay truck and trailer config that I will be using.I will be posting here and at a forum I belong to for those who care to see.I'm have fun for the first time in along time at building thanks me wife,friend PaulT and many people here and on the other model truck forum.thanks to all,Chris

Protect yourself against the insurance company to,cause they will try to devalue everthing thing they can and will not care about you.my experence with insurance company is long and not good...becarefull and dot your eyes.thanks,Chris

Is there a picture of the kit? thanks,Chris

Very well said.I've followed alot of what tim has done and he has done more then we will ever know but still the same it amazing to me what he does and how he does it.if I lived even somewhere close I would thank him in person....but I don't so I will as well thank him for all the efforts he has put to our hobby we all share...Thank you Tim and thanks for all your help.Chris

it looks good,I don't know what you are going to replicate as far as which movin on truck.I was told by a Kenworth dealer ship that that truck was a VIT and if that is so then it should have a torsion bar suspension under it.and I don't remember the movin on truck having a headache rack on it....but it looks great the way it is.maybe it could be how the truck would looks today...I don't know but good work.thanks,Chris

Thank you,great pictures and and amazing site for pictures and refence.thanks,Chris

For me it depends on the model and how I feel about it.sometime I trade them off after a couple of shows or years and others I've had for years...I mean years,I guess theere my favorites.I've sold alot to people at shows that want them.I've giving some aways as gifts.I know people that collect them for there homes,offices.and some are in museums here.so far that is what I've done.Thanks,Chris

Yes,there is many differences from the 72 to 73 bodys....not easy at all.I wished some on would resin make a body and tub for the 73,74 but none sofar.thanks,Chris
