I'm still here not sure what happened to the site I'm have no clue how it works but just send me a email jlrahmo@aol.com and I'll get you fixed up , thanks , Jamie

Thank you Bill , I feel honored , it's all part of the dream .... I remember seeing these in the magazines when I was a kid ! I'll make these available as soon as possible and announce them I as go , thanks all , Jamie

I've been looking at casting one of these myself I got a tractor engine but it's totally different , I'm gonna try to find one of those service trucks cheap !

All these COE's you have built are nice ! I like em,

Thanks guys , I have some drawings somewhere that a made off of 1 that was getting some work done at the shop I work at , yep Adam its the same 1 I've been workin on since about 2001, if ya lookin in the fist pic theres another frame I made that had some kinda issue , I think Ben ended up with it somehow ! I have most of the hardware cast up like the suspension ,outriggers,d-rings,wheels and tires , we just need somebody to draw 1 up and lazer cut it out

heres my talbert , after 10 years it still not complete ! I posted this in the 1:1 section ans was suggested to put it over here ,

Thanks, I wish it was a castable part, its huge! would be better lazer cut ,

Yep I have 2 and 5 holes in 3 different sizes to fit Amt , Italeri or my tires , just send me a message I'll get you what you need, Jamie

Thanks guys , I've been workin on the grill heres the pics , what i started with , after some tuning , the real thing ,

the way the made the 10 holes in the lonestar , the 2 holes wouldnt be accurate , Bens wheels are right on !

here are some pics of the talbert I've been working on for over 10 years !

Looks good , I like the trailer and the multi colored tarp is cool !

Thanks Bob , it took me 6 years to restore my pick'em up ! also Thanks to everybody else for the comments , we have a couple of the ol 1:1 trucks at the shop if anybody wants some pics let me know

Chris Ok I took a pic of my lil square with the wheels and chassis, Bob , I'm Jamie but you can call me Ben he's my hero! yep I'll be puttin the lil smallblock in there , I had to lower it in the chassis andmove it forward just a bit to get it to clear ,

Yep I still make the air cleaners also,

Yep Ben's wheels are the best I cast them and you will soon be able to get them from Eric @ P&P , I make wheels to fit most Amt, Italeri and the tires that I make ,you can reach me @ jlrahmo@aol.com , Jamie

This is cool, you can tell the weather is keeping us inside in NE ohio !

I'm not sure what kit the front wheel came from but the rears are from the lonestar and the tires are soft resin that I cast up, Hey I like your square

I've started a new project a 41 ford coe ,I got the cab from Ausie models and used a 78 chevy truck frame from the old mpc 2wd kit , removed the floor pan from the frame and made a couple mounts for the cab , the bottom a arms were broken so I made some new ones and also made it workin steering while I was at it ,working on getting a bed and rear fenders from a 40's pickup, heres the pics

Welcome back to the hobby, I have some bags of fine ground rusted cast iron I got from Kurt , I coat it dull coat and use the shake and bake method !

I have built this kit and agree with Garys first post ,this kit is trash , maybe the test builders of this kit should have noticed and reported the problems before it went into production, every point where the chrome parts are attached to the tree is where you can see it when its finished , the aircleaners are split in half right on the outside, fit ussues everywhere I raised the front bumper about a 1/8" and moved it back with the hinge about the same, shaved off the cowl where the hood sits about a 1/8" also so the hood would sit down straight and the engine is missing the intake side of the turbo these are just some of the things I noticed while building it, I just cant understand how it got into production with all these problems that would have been easy to fix before it ended up in our hands,

Thanks , made a connection box and put a few other details on to finish it up,

Thanks guys finished up the fender mounts and added some rubber flaps ,

Thanks guys , I put some half fenders on it ,

makin good progress
