  1. Turning out real nice , where did the decals come from mate .
  2. Love the old trucks . Great autocar mate .
  3. Very nice , tough vintage truck love it .
  4. The green windows had a very light tint unlike the coloured glass thats in the drag kits .
  5. The AMT coe torsion bar unit is catalogue number - T520 , i got 4 . I just checked and the hendrickson rear also shares the same cat number, so maybe AMT didnt worry about changing the cat number when they changed the rears . You just have to ask the question when you see one on ebay .
  6. They are rare but in the last two weeks ive got two of usa ebay at about $ 80.00 each including postage . You just have to look at the sides of the boxs on ebay and ask the question . The first release of both kennys had torsion but because of the complaints of the rear not sitting level they tooled up the hendo rear end .
  7. Thanks casey for the link . I dont use facebook so wasnt aware of what was goin on .
  8. Where is the link which says it's comin fellas .
  9. The frames only like that because of OVERLOADING !!
  10. Where is this info you all speak ?
  11. I think your head cold may just be subconsious nerves mate .
  12. Yer , it seems my tyres are magnetic and pick them up .
  13. Reality tv survives because there is no shortage of brain dead mulletts watching them , the rattings show that is what we want to watch . There is panic here in oz at the moment as there are more people starting to watch you tube than tv . We have a series at the moment here called puberty blues , it's about growing up in the 70's with the surfing scene and the kids versing the adults with a great soundtrack . The rattings for this show is huge as well as the new series called love child , which is a look at how it was frowned upon to get pregnant in the 60's underaged ,so they sent the girls away so the family could save face .. But they just don't see the writting on the wall ,they just keep feeding the mulletts loads of rubbish , and if you notice it's ALL just people being NASTY to each other , and they wonder why society is beating itself to death .
  14. I drive tippers here in oz , it all depends on wether you load it up the centre of the trailer .If any of the load sticks to one side and doesnt break free and there's no material on the other side it will topple over on the loaded side . By the looks of it , it is a tip over axle set up so it's even more behind the 8 ball already . When they go they just go with no warning , i havnt been lucky enough to experience this yet but have come real close . When they are in the air, an inch movement at the wheels is a foot movement at the top . So thats how it can all go wrong .
  15. Hey , thats great news . I can tell how excited you are i hope it all works out well mate .
  16. Does anybody remember if they released it as a bogie trailer ? In the 1971 catalog they show it as T-508 a low boy trailer and the picture is a hand drawn bogie job .
  17. HA HA HA HA HA Thats great mate , thank your wife for the contribution to the hair , it looks so much better . I met ed when he came to australia and i know he would have loved what you have done .
  18. In this life of rubbish people who walk the streets world wide, it's the great ones who seem to be taken from us . RIP mate .
  19. Next time if you soak any built part in water and then put it in the freezer , as the water freezers it will pull the bits apart mate .
  20. Those decals ,i think by the way it dips in the middle at the top its from a peterbilt . AMT'S W model is my favourite truck so i will be watching this job .
  21. The old coe transtar 4070a has these , duno if the transtar 2 has them . The coe kenworth ones look toy like .
  22. mate so cool , we dont have this model down under yet .
  23. Very nice , i remember a how to article in the old building model trucks book in the 70's .
  24. I think the only way to send a message to these countrys is not to buy the stuff when they release it .
