That's a really nice looking engine. Weren't the Tamiya kits 1/14?

Why would they want to spend the money to update it to a W900B when people are going to spend the $100 just the way it is? I guess we'll have to see how well it sells when it's issued. Might be an early Christmas present!

Most definately! Great job.

Great job so far! That's a lot of plastic.

Nice looking Dodge. I like the weathering, too.

Bummer. I like it, though. And you can't even see the cab seams! Now that's something!

I like the colors. Doesn't look like your front tires fit under the cab, though.

Just got my copy in the mail today!! :) I'm looking forward to reading it. Can't guarantee that I'll produce any decent dioramas, but this should be interesting.

Well, that's a little better!

The price for the books in unbelievable, but then there's the $50 in shipping. I did manage to find a copy of Ken's book at a reasonable price. Now it's just the Waiting Game until it shows up. I'm hoping that it's a good civilian compliment to Shep Paine's book.

Definately!

Good luck with your rebuilder. Never a big fan of those. Anyway, as to removing the paint, you can try Castrol Super Clean. It works well.

Your interior looks really nice in the black & red. I like it.

Looks pretty good so far. One thing I noticed is that your seat bases are reversed. The clip for the seatbelts should be toward the inside of the cab; not the outside. The placement diagram/numbering is incorrect in the instruction booklet. Also, if you're going to use the "LoneStar" decals on the seats & rear sleeper wall you might consider removing the raised detail as the texts aren't the same size.

How big is the Bentley?

Wow! I thought it was real for a second. Fantastic job.

Great job! Nice match to the Volvo.

Replica Stock is a class?

It's supposed to be a 3208, but apparently it's actually an 1160 (or something like that). Ford called this engine a V200, and they were painted Ford Blue. If I remember correctly, this engine was a joint Ford/Caterpiller venture.

Nice collection. I really like the Branch Ford H-Series.

No problem. That's a good site for reference material.

Nice progress on the engine. This might help with wiring it: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm08_july_1991_cate/ , but it looks like you've done a good job without it.

Looks like you're off to a good start. Yes, the wheels & tires are probably the worst part of the kit.

The black & white definately looks the periot (early 20th Century). To me, the sepia photo reminds me of The Old West or the Civil War. A little to early for cars.
