sounds cool! i wonder how many $50 models we will se built now that brings up a question: is the united states dollar or is that pound dollar or what???????????? and what about the engine can we claim it was a junkyard rescue and swap engines in the desired kit or what? sorry to sound so bad but im just trying to make sure i understand it clearly! if we can come up with an engine swap and what not and it still meets the requirements than im going to build a 68-72 nova! and i already have a name for the project but i need to get one of those copo novas to do so!

Hey guys just to let you know that this is not a "dead thread" i just havent gotten around to working on it much due to "general life" issues! ill get back on it soon though!

i dont know off the top of my head but i think i paid 10-12 dollars for it but me i get a discount through a family member that works there! i do have the first coat of paint on it! when i get the paintwork finished up a little more i post some wip pics in this thread so you can consider this a wip thread! cheers ~ RADIOSTAR~

actually i dont think it was done by toby keith it just doesnt sound like him at all in it! i may try to dig something up here after bit and see who actually does it! i have that same song from the same used to be site! got it from a friend that had it!

like i need another project but this post^^^^^^^^^^^^^ i came up with a project for this cbp but.... 1 i dont have the kit or the parts for it 2 i have enough projects already!!!

what about the other version of "The Ride" ?? i dont know who its sung by but it was done right after we lost one of the greatest drivers of the NASCAR Cup Series! and if you said "Dale Earnhardt Sr." well then you would be right on the money!

mental notes: wet sand w/ 2000 grit and maybe a finer finishing grit and then scratch x about 3/4 x's! i am going to try this on one of my builds!

Call it The- IHC 8100 Pumper Truck (little muskingum fire dept.)

i may jump in here if its a no time line cbp! i plan "actually partially started" custom pumper truck using a pumper body from the alf pumper kit, if i can get the right parts! i will also use the louisville shorthauler chassies! the wheels will also come from the pumper kit the body is a resin griffen international harvestor 8100 series conversion kit (long oop from sts model trucks) and im hoping to get the parts needed such as mirrors and glass and etc from a 4300 amt kit! now i have to wait for the next time my stepmother comes up to bring me the resin conversion! i actually got some progress so far if i can find the pics in my photobucket!

sorry for the extra post but it came up "you posted more pics than allowed" maybe someone can help me out with it hint im kinda newb here at this site! wheels

hey guys! my brother came over yesterday holding the model kit i got him for christmas and told me he wants something bigger that what i got him. so you already looked at the title and thought... "whats more super big than the kit im going to be talking about" ... and we finally broke the kits seal and opened it and this is what it is. and if you guessed this kit than you where right!... and if not than... well i dont know about you! yes thats right its the super semi kit from mpc! the instructions front side!

i used the mmtatrailers@hotmail.com!

he must still be having problems i just tried to email him and it came back as a failure domain! so i went to the site and i couldnt click on the other late model engines and stuff to see what he had to offer! hellllllppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!

im surprised that tim didnt jump in here yet! but i do remember that kurt put a c-series (i think it was a 15) in his 357 triaxle dump truck! i think that engine is long out of production last i heard and that was years ago! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

no pics man!^^^^^^^^^^^^

man i dont think im going to pull my 1:12 bel air back out of storage any time soon after seeing the build of (currently) this "masterpiece!" i think im just going to leave it in storage for a while longer until after this is done! "ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!" of a scale b/w 1-10 and 10 being the best it just blows 10 up and bypasses 100 like it standing still!

hey you know thats a detroit series 60 right? i know you must have painted per instructions huh? well i hate to tell you this but the instructions are wrong! pm me for more info! but i say that paint combonation looks very familier to me from somewhere??? ............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

here you go heres where im at "currently"! yeah i know the wheel fell off! ill fix that!

hey i just found this but it doesnt seem to be tolate for me i will get pics soon to see if the model i am going to build will be allowed! its one of the (newest) issue of the snap pete thats painted similar to clays but i dont have the decals on interior needs painted and assembled paint work needs another coat and some small errors fixed chrome work needs done error on back portion of frame needs fixed trailer needs built ( its going to be the rvg car hauler trailer 6 cars) roscoes car (need to get) daisys plymouth (need to get)... yes there will be a general lee on it (amt) a what if general lee will be on it daisys jeep and i may pick up another roscoes patrol car to make it enos's patrol car to put on it so as it sounds i need to get acouple more kits plus i gotta lot of work ahead of me yet! again pics will be coming soon! to see what you think!

hey guys just a question about p & p resin. where and how to you go about ordering from him i see the day cab panel for the 377/8 kits and i want to order that and plus one of these pusher axles (at a later date) for a heavy dump project (inspired by kurt)! so again how and where do you go to order from P & P resins ?

i hope and hint the word hope to be working on it soon! i want to try to get the frame back together and ill see where i go from there. but eventually this thread will end up being a wip!

hi guys hey kurt i found the ol' girl... this is a custom triaxle pete 359 ertl/amt kit that i am building... well at least started on what 2 or so years ago? i had started to add a extra section of frame from a old partially built up and painted midnight express kit (had no decals) and then i went and started to modify the body to put dual air breathers on it (as you all know it was a single breather) by adding the extra breather whatever its called! (non trucker building model trucks )to the cab and then cutting the hood for the extra breather which i still need to clean up just a tad! and i traded off the kit engine for a 3406 cat... yeah a CAT guys... that i had started to assemble and mock into place... and then the worst thing happend!... had to pack everything up and move!... and then it was stuck in storage for a while... then well as i was going through everything to see what was there and what wasn't i spotted it and said oh heck yeah i know what i was doing with that and then well heres the pics after i finally broke her open and started to look to see what kind of damage and what not had happened so ill let the pics do the talking here sorta...! heres the decals! heres the wheels heres where i modified the hood ... the cab ...frame( it fell back apart!) comments and crticism welcomed!

truckerflicks.com huh? ill check that one out!

i bet the instructors was all hot headed after that! and all the students had there jaws on the ground huh!

ive been thinking of doing that but i need to look at it closer if i do that just to make sure i dont screw up or something!
