  1. Yea I got a receipt from PayPal and that was it too. Ok that's all I needed to know. I was worried when I didn't get anything from moluminum. Thanks guys
  2. Hey guys I ordered from the moluminum website over a week ago, never received a confirmation email or anything. Does it usually take awhile to hear anything? I emailed Jamie and never had anything back from him either. Just curious if they normally send a confirmation with a tracking number or anything?
  3. Very nice builds man, all of them a sharp clean builds. Thanks for posting!
  4. Dennis sorry I didn't see this earlier. It's model masters tropical teal. Three shots of base, two shots of clear and polished.
  5. Thanks guys! Ken, that was the truck that inspired the retro look. Brian, I thought it looked classy and as we all know Class Attracts Class haha
  6. Here's my Amt California Hauler I built. I was sort of inspired by kens and claytons builds from this kit. I didn't get too crazy with it chrome Mercury sleeper, blue tinted windows in cab n sleeper and a chrome visor. Just a nice old classic with whitewall tires. Thanks for looking guys!
  7. Guess I'll join the party with my StarCar, I built this to look like the one we have at our salvage yard, then scratch built a dump trailer to match.
  8. Thanks guys, Clayton I'm glad that KW inspired you, that's one of my favorites. The real truck that inspired that build was like my summer home when I was a child. These snap kits are great I wish they came out with some others in 1/25. I don't get the build time like I used to since I started working at Chef Boyardee. But I have a California hauler in finishing up that I will post when I get a chance. Be well guys keep building and be well.
  9. Here's one of the snappers Ive built. These snap kits are great. Cheap and the possibilities are endless. Here's a kenworth I built, Here's another kenworth with a custom bunk all stretched out, Here's another peterbilt
  10. Here's one I built. My 1/16th Here's my triaxle I built for a buddy Here's one I built like my dad use to have
  11. Here's one of mine. Another shot of it so u can see the stretch of it.
  12. You known you could be onto something some small modifications to get them to line up properly. Those were the years like my dad had.. Classic style but the door seals leaked air so bad.. Ahh good times
  13. This is looking awesome. Gonna be a tough old diamond. Don't see many of these on the road anymore
  14. It's frustrating but we all have been there. This is shaping up to be one heck of a model tho man... Really looks great. Keep it up!
  15. Awesome work buddy. I I like the spread on that flatbed and the tractor looks great too!
  16. Hey guys thanks for the compliments, as I stated this is possibly my favorite that I have done just because of the bunk conversion and the paint. Never been a fan of aerodyne sleepers. Mark, the aerodyne removal wasn't too terrible but fixing the cab can be a challenge. Due to the back curver and the Angled cutout from the aerodyne. Best advice for that back of the cab is to cut your piece to fill the hole from the back of the bunk. Experiment is the best way. And Jim, that engine runs just fine she's just loaded heavy and Rollin' coal! Haha
  17. Hey guys here's the finished product for the modified kenworth snap and fruehauf trailer I was building. Spread axle air ride working vent doors on the trailer, cut the aerodyne off and put a 36" bunk on. No stretch just simple. Made bumper guides and air cleaner light bars. Put a quilted bunk protector on and custom visor. Thanks for looking. This is one of my favorites that I have built.
  18. Great job. The wheels look good on there and the colors and decals look great. Nice job!
  19. I'm feelin' it man that looks great. I love the color
  20. Ok guys it's finished up and will post it tonight in the finished section of the forum.
  21. I would switch out with new. Good chance it could have something to do with the paint that was already stripped. Possibly could be the paint that was used on the bunk as well.
