cool! i learned something new! i didnt know general mills owned mpc! thats some neat history thanks man! again cccccooooooooooooooollllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 B)

well good point i just got thinking about it!

nicely done so far! now i wonder what to do here!!! mmmmmmmmmmmm!

cool thanks plowboy! also it does have its share of inaccuracies such as whats holding the rear fenders on or are they just floating? and little things that i think i can fix oh the last person that put the windsheild in must have been high on some drugs or something cause i pulled the window out and the cowl broke in 3 places it was so soft! lol got it fixed now needs some more work! again thanks plowboy!

ok heres the pics- heres the body! drivetrain and wheels and tires ! frame and it says the following markings fundlimnesions (there marked on there like its old 60's styling!) DIV (I suppose it means "division") GMFG 197 7 that is whats imprinted on the frame! maybe someone here with alittle more knowledge can help me figure it out!

please its no laughing matter for some of us ok i dont mean to sound rude or nothing but for some people it is there "last ride"!!!

don't forget about the western star ... LA FIRE DEPT. RECOVERY TRUCK!

thanx ill see what i do for you!

well i finally got my truck broken down right now ill get pics up here after bit but i found something out thats neat! there are some markings on it ill get pics of that as well but it says "gm.. 1977" and the guy/kid that put it together must have ment for it either not come back apart or was a little glue crazy! again ill get pics up here after bit!

how soon do you need them??? i maybe able to help.

what about "LOWES" would they have it!

what i got is 4oz of EV2 or 69-72 HEMI ORANGE effect.. in other words a metalic hemi orange , not race hemi orange witch is a solid color ..

guess what came in the mail today!- this is my resto canidite ! comments and criticizm welcomed!

heres a pic finally (not the greatest but it will do for now! ) the chassie is pretty much done other than the brakes and wheels and i may try to detail alittle but other than that the chassie is done!

FISH!!! heck with the fish... i got cat issues as well!

well i checked and im going to expect my 78 chev p/u here either thursday or friday so hopefully by the weekend i may be able to get pics up of her!

actually how about the united states marine corp now there tough son of a guns!

well at least the guy is mailing out me pete!

hey guys/galz the lockout is over so far!!!! :D :P

hey why not just finish it! it looks like you dont have much to do so you can finish it! go for the 100% complete! awsome!

hey i know one vehicle ill be restoring! (hint: add 2 cbp) ill be restoring a 1978 chevy stepside p/u i found it in a "barn" wearing no paint but there is absolutly no rust on it at all! so ill be pending on when i get it to look at it closer but i think i may just polish the chrome out alittle and paint it some color and get the drivetrain up and running and work on the enterior alittle it should be show ready! soon i hope!!!

yeah i just picked up built version for 20 dollar bill compared to an unbuilt evilbay price of 200 dollars!

change of plans! it still will be the ihc pumper but im not marking it as little muskingum! ill be marking it as truck 66 with eastwood volunteer fire dept! (why you ask!) well you see my stepfather... his father (thomas) use to drive 66 when he was with the dept. but here just last sunday morning at about 430 am in the morning he passed on! we had the veiwing on that tuesday and we buried him wednesday so ill be building this in his honor! (i got pics of the actual truck... even though its a FMC F800 truck and im building a ihc thats alright im still going to build it.....wait a minute i just thought of something mmmmm! hey janne how about adding an caddilac escalade california wheels ed. to it ill be building that one as an offical (maybe someone can help with what radio equipment and etc... they would have inside) FBI vehicle!

i say one that needs repopped is the 78 chev stepside p/u kit cause heres an mib kit going for almost if not more than 200 dollars usd! http://cgi.ebay.com/MPC-1978-CHEVY-STEPSIDE-PICKUP-TRUCK-MODEL-KIT-MINT-NIB-/230631729261?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b2b8e86d#ht_5267wt_905 now the only other one i saw was one that was a built up on ebay that just sold for less than a 20 dollar bill usd and the winner was me!
