    Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I don't have a set of doubles to hook to it, so I usually use the external post van.

    I know of an excellent source for the Mack spokes & the square tanks. Check with Daniel at Plaskit Resin. That's where I got the Mack spokes for my R685ST & Cruisliner.

    I think I just might. Need to find some decent 1950s wheels, though. I know where I can get the correct engine & transmission.

    Well, in 1942, the P51 was powered by either an Allison V-1710, or a Rolls-Royce Merlin (P51B/C). Both are liquid-cooloed V12 engines. The P51D was powered by a Packard V-1650-7, which was a licensed copy of the Merlin.

    I'm not sure about any of the other ones, but Project 350 is based out of New Jersey and is (or was) owned by Richie Acosta. How he drives that thing through New Jersey is beyond me!

    Yes, this is the kit. You'll need to convert it from a 359 to a 281. This might help: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/fine_scale_modeller/fsm_1984_09-10_sep-okt/
