  1. Nice trucks! Here are mine: Yellow 1973 Ryder Ford LN8000 Titing hood: Orange & White 1976 GMC Astro/95 1986 Peterbilt 359 with Winslow Stripes
  2. The Ford LN8000/LNT8000 and the Peterbilt 359 "California Hauler" do not have hinged hoods. You'll have to scratch build a hinge. I hinged thr hood on my 1973 Ryder Ford LN8000 Short Hauler with aluminum tube & some steel rod. Works quite well, actually. It's hard to tell from this pic, but you can just see the two small tubes on the front of the frame where the pins from the hood would sit. I filed out a nice little groove for them & epoxyed them in. There is a corresponding tube epoxyed to the hood. Then a rod connects them all together.
  3. Does turquoise count? 1969 Dodge L700
  4. Looking really nice. What color is your interior?
  5. I actually have one for this thread! 2011 International LoneStar: Wait until Jerry sees this thread!
  6. Wonder if you could find any 1/25 figures you could convert into Star Fleet personnel. You could replicate the sceen in the cargo bay.
  7. Dom Loomis already casts it in resin: http://my.inbox.com/photos/escort500xl/index.aspx Check his page "6 Cylinders & Other Engines". An alternative vendor is always nice, though.
  8. Amazing work! Do you mean the radiator brace?
  9. I wish! I've been trying to get there for several years now.
  10. Impressive C500. And that's one big trailer for one big rock!
  11. "Facinating, Captian." Live long & prosper.
  12. Looks like there were some nice trucks there. That LoneStar stake truck is different.
  13. Milo does some incredable stuff. This 8V92 is a work of art. Imagine what he could do in 1/25?
  14. Nice job!
  15. Sad old Fords. Great dioramas.
  16. Nice job, Chad. Keep "Movin' On", MIA! I like the trailer, too.
  17. Yes, that's the 9500. Porky (http://ppvintagekits.com/) offeres a GMC Topkick. Not sure if he has it listed on his site or not. Best to email him. Eric's a good guy, and makes top quality stuff.
  18. Another really nice looking Road Boss. I like it with the shorter hood & frame.
  19. Nice clean build. Very Owner/Operator looking.
  20. Looks really nice. I like the stripes.
  21. Excellent diorama.
  22. Nice job. I don't know what it is about this kit, but every time I see it I think it should be greay with "U.S. Navy" on the doors. It does look great in red!
