scummy

A mate of mine got the complete series on a usb stick and i watched it so much that i was all movin on'ed out half way through it !!!!!!!!!!! With the buttons thing is , is that when you have a twin stick gearbox the second gearstick used to do what the buttons , ( splitters ) do now .

I guess you will be taking wifey out for a fancy meal now for showing you this product ? mmmmmmm

What colour are the real ones in the states ? Here in australia the lettering is red reflective tape . The gold does look cool though .

OH MY EYE'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE GONE BLIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I managed to find a couple of issues when i went to a model show 10 years ago , you don't see them anymore though .

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very nice .

Great thinking out of the box building mate . We had one of these at my last job working for a raw material quarry and the tanker was yellow with black sargent stripes on the back it was made by caterpillar . Great job mate .

Sad to hear that a man that helps keep the peace died doing it . We have people here in australia that say they hate the police , but when ever somebody belts them or breaks into their place the first phone call is to the police . Did they get this bucket of puss that shot him ? Sorry to his family .

What a neat looking unit .

Mate thats a great vintage fire engine , you have done it very well .

You are spot on ! And thats all i can say .

Very nice , you have put a lot of work in this .

I remember reading ages ago about the merc sleeper , so i went and found the forum and the subject on hanks web site . I hope they don't mind me putting the link here as it has some good photo's . http://hankstruckforum.com/htforum/index.php?topic=31492.0

The sunvisor is on the same sprue as the sleeper .

G,day , i just pulled out my copy of the AMT 1971 catalog . And all i can see is 6 modified stockers , T-189 66 Buick skylark T-190 65 olds 88 T-191 65 fairlane T-192 66 chevy T-193 64 ford T-194 69 torino

Except for ebay they are scarce in the hobby shops here .

If she's still there , PHOTO'S fellas .

I met her once when they were doing the rumours tour in australia in the 70's . I was driving for an express company when i got a phone call in the depot that the primemover on trailer 26 had blown an engine and they needed another truck real soon . I took it and drove from melbourne to sydney and was parked up waiting for my trailer to be called to unload . While i was sitting on the fuel tank this smallish gourgeous woman walked from around the front of my truck , we talked for awhile and she left but came back a little later giving me a copy of the rumours cassette for my truck , no i didnt get her to sign it as i was into country and western then but took it to be polite . I did play the guts out of it though as it sounded cool .

AMT's w model kenworth had them but i'm not sure if the coe kenworth has them . Or go to a cheap store and see whats available in the womans section and see what belts they have . Some of the womans belts have studs on them that look like moon caps , i also remember that the hubs on the early pete is'nt flat so you will have to cut or file them flat to stick the caps on .

Tonight in my garage i found an old overdrive magazine , February 1980 . It has a couple of photos but not of the interior , it does say that it has a full custom built belly pan . Is the rear wheel guard the same as the amt turnpiker pete ? .

I drive trucks doing quarry work and i've seen enough holes , SO BRING ON THE VETTES !!!!!!!

Not bad for some first time builders .

Excellant truck mate love the thing as a whole . Great to hear your on the mend , just take it easy for a little while .

Yer i saw this earlier and sent the link to my mates . Geez a car like this would have gone for about 8 to 10 thousand easy in australia .

The car i helped make many moons ago had to have all panels fitted and secured . The bonnet had to be on so no hot oil or water could cover the driver when it got belted .
