  1. Definately. Nice job so far. I'm assuming that those bradd rods sticking out of the frame are going to be for front shocks?
  2. Thanks for posting that. It's very clean; it must be brand nse.
  3. Nice job, Chad. I'm glad that hood went to good use. I like how you opened the doors on the sleeper. That's a nice touch. The full fenders are a nice touch, as are the Vortox cleaners. Not a fan of the stacks, but that's just me. Colors are really nice.
  4. The only Makcs that were reissued in plastic were the R-Series & the Cruisliner from AMT/Stevens International. They've been out of production for a while now, so you won't find any at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Italeri had a Superliner in plastic, but I don't know when that was reissued. You might be able to find on on eBay. As far as old Macks; I recommend checking out American Industrial Models. He has lots of old Mack conversion kits as well as complete resin kits of the B-61, LJ, & LT. That's about your only chioce for "old" Macks. Illini has some old Kenworths, Internationals, Diamond-T, & Hendricksons; and Eric @ P&P Vintage Kits & Resin Works has some old Kenworths.
  5. I didn't know Illini Replicas did a P/E set for White. I knew that GR Decals out of Queensland, Australia, did; but not Illini. Interesting news.
  6. Is this the place? http://www.dhcinc.com/ Yes, find out about shipping, and see what else he has in stock.
  7. It looks quite nice. Any plan for a company logo on the door?
  8. Still impressed. I like your choice of colors.
  9. Nice tractor. I like the colors.
  10. You painted the Winslow stripes? I'm impressed. I like the Winslow stripes, too.
  11. Jim S., that's what we're here for, to pass information on. Apparently the Paystar 5000 kits make nice doners for lots of different trucks (Dodge Bighorn, Hayes Clipper 200, other Internationals, etc.)
  12. Nice job! The LNT8000 looks great. I agree with you on the tanker. It just doesn't go together well. I really struggled with the fit on my Amoco tanker. Yours looks good.
  13. A lot of the kits can be made into other trucks by changing hoods, sleepers, suspensions, etc. Just take a look around Tim's site.
  14. You have stuff you want to sell? Post it here.
  15. From Jbot's site it sounds like he'll be taking orderes again soon. I've used his decals before. They're quite nice, but very thin and they tear easily.
  16. I just picked up a VT903 from Nigel at Auslowe. It's quite nice. I'mm planning on using it on my Movin' On W900 whenever I get around to building it. Hopefully Jim at Jbot will be back online soon so I can get the decals. Seven hunders horsepower! Wow! I bet that pulls nicely. Wait a sec. Dennis? Dennis who?
  17. Junkyard dog! That's no dog, that's a wolf. How's that for security.
  18. Nice looking replica. I like the green. I've only seen one episode & part of the Pilot that were on YouTube, but I've wanted to build this truck for a long time. what's under the hood of your freinds truck? Was it repowered? I heard (somewhere) that Sonny said he had a Cummins VT903, but I don't know if all of the show trucks had them. Some might have had the NTC350. Jim, check eBay for the DVD set. I saw it there last week.
  19. That sounds interesting. I can't wait to see it. Good luck on your project.
  20. Both kits should have both frames.
  21. I think this is what you're asking for: 48ft Flatbed
  22. Nice idea on the shocks. Those should keep your tires on the ground.
  23. I like your idea so far, and Red looks a little like G.I. Joe!
