scummy

Didnt the monogram cord model have a v12 motor in it ? I built it years ago and i remember something about a big motor in that .

Oh ! we are back on line . Apparently too many people looked at my account so my yearly looking band was exceaded and it restarted itself after the joining date came around ????

Good work mate , you are a true gentleman for thinking of others in this way .

Nice project . I like it very much .

If you go to the highway and truck stops you will pickup the weathering ideas .

Geez , i see idiot bucket has removed the photo's , just great . Oh , i just found out that i've used my limit on idiot bucket . I hardly use it but i'm all out , if i want it back on i gota pay . Bye bye photobucket .

G,day , here's some photo's i took about 12 years ago of the black 57 chevy from the movie . She's was in bad nick then , the motor and blower was takin out and put in a 55 chevy i heard . I don't know whats in it now . [l]

No sir , i dont like it .

Gee , if the prices of their diecast products is anything to go by you better start saving mega for these . In australia coe's are used for their tight turning circles and length regulations in the float industry .

I dont think you could do that , it's only like that because the tyre is too small for the rim width wise . Cant even work out how they got that tyre to seal , would be fun driving it down the road .

Great job mate , Love the older trucks and the conversion on the dozer outstanding , have you put that up on its own post ?

I think if i won mega or medium lotto i would STILL be a cranky old truckie !!!!! I would still be driving trucks as thats when i'm at my happiest . I'd buy my wife the house she wants on a big property with a huge shed filled with ex-overnighter trucks and just still be a cranky old truckie ! LOL .

What about caustic soda ? thats pretty strong stuff .

mmmmm Someone had money . Very nice .

I use the freezer trick when restoring truck models . Duno how it works but soak the model in water for a couple of hours put it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for a day or two . It then makes the glue brittle .

Nice job and engine conversion on this old pete .

Welcome aboard clayton , i'm a fellow driver and really dont care what people think about me building . In fact the other drivers in my place are interested in my latest projects .

There was a real LTL for sale here recently , when you stand beside one they are an awsome machine .

The ANL petes were found in the states in paddocks and yards and brought here and converted . Freestones had a couple but i think they leaning towards western stars now . The last time i heard the black dog lived at narellen near camden NSW . Theres more here on the road than you think , i drive around sydney all day and see alot now .

In australia we used to have them on lowloader trailers that carried heavy loads as the wedges ( dogs ) covered almost the whole rim .

Nice ruggered truck mate .

You never know , they been working on the 359 pete small winda for a couple of years and now it's comin out soon . So you never know .

Very cool looking truck mate .

You guys would be mad not to put these together as a model kit , theres big money to be made here .

I just noticed that the external sunvisor is on the sleeper sprue and i looked at the layout of the kit else where in this thread and see there's not going to be an external sunviser .
