455 Rocket

Chris, this truck looks great! I can't wait to see it done. It reminds me of the Louisiana Pacific lumber trucks I used to see when I was going to college in Northern California 20 years ago.

Chevy should have kept building the 300 wagons. Nice looking ride.

Looks great. I'm building this same combo as we speak.

Those are some clean builds.

Great job on the weathering.

You're very talented in your scratch building skills. I love the bottom dump. One day I want to build one of these.

Tim, I'm guessing your photo of the T & T truck is from when you lived out here in California. You'll be happy to know, they still have the same paint scheme, but with more polished aluminum and some updated lettering.

I love the stars and stripes.

Yes, I build 40 of these for people at my work to replicate our patrol cars. Testors also modeled Classic Metal works kits. I thought I heard someone is bringing these back to production.

Nice rides. I really like the Cadi in the background of your first shot.

Anthony, keep up the excellent work. I never get tired of looking at your projects.

Great scratch building. This should look very nice when it's done.

Another fantastic build!

I'd say 10 years back someone offered a Mooneyes Caprice wagon in resin which had these wheels, but i don't recall what company. Maybe this will jog someone's memory.

That really turned out nice.

00 Ranger, the plates were made using the Testor's Decal Maker CD. It's pretty limited though. You have to spray the decals to "set" them. Just don't use too much, they'll bleed. This program won't let you add other images unless you up grade for another $10. I didn't. I used my computer to scan a friend's business logo they use on their trucks and then printed it out on the Testor's decal paper.

I added the Effer Crane, tires and wheels from Mo' Luminum, new stacks and cut the trailer down to 2 axles. The bed floor is real wood. It's also my first attempt at my own decals for the company logo and plates.

Scale Equipment Limited has a '73 Hurst Olds that looks like what you're looking for. www.seltd.net/24111cp.html

You guys have a better selection than my LHS!!

I'm not sure if they're the right style, but someone has been selling them on e-bay. The bid is at $27. Look under resin in model trucks.

There have been some Gooche repos on e-bay. You may also look for Cat Nascar decals. Maybe they'll work.

I think Accu-Pro used to make a resin cast full size Blazer about 10 years ago. I never saw one built up though.

Signatures, as I hand out a lot of these.
