Rob - I use printing plate for a number of things. It is so easy to bend, cut, drill and glue. I use alot of .005" stuff that I get from a local print shop. They are used and have a finished aluminum shine on one side. If you check out my Fiat build, you'll see alot of it in use.

I work for a huge printing company and never would have thought of using those. Not sure if they'd like me taking one home since they get money for recycling them but maybe I'll slice a chunk or two out of one. Keep up the good work!

Not a big VW fan but I gotta say I do like the chopped beetles. Looks good!

Amazing stuff Sir.

Dang...this thing is looking like you should be able to put gas in the tank, turn the key, and let the Borrowers take it for a spin.

Still droolin'
Can't wait to see the finished product

Very nice work! I like how you discolored the exhaust. The car almost looks like you could get in it and drive it.

Pretty darn cool!

Wow! This is gonna be awesome! Good luck with the build...I'll be following this one.

Yeah...I know about the cab differences but was told by the person who asked me to do this to not do that surgery since I believe the cab on back is narrower as well. The goal is to make it as close as possible with the 1000 Series.
I do like that pic though and will have to swipe that from ya.

Ok, I was tasked with taking a 1000 Series American LaFrance firetruck and making it look like a 700 Series from 1949. So, with that said, here are a few pics of what I've done so far. The first is a picture from the box and the rest are after surgery. I hope to finish this thing up in the next few weeks (at least have it ready for paint anyway).
This is a pic with the back-end after I hacked out the more modern fender wheels/storage boxes and made it look more like the picture you see standing beside it.
Since I had a spare kit to work with I glued one up to look like the box and set it beside the other.
And I had to chop the darn thing plus fabricate headlights to look like the picture I was given. Still got some work to go.
Once I get 'er done I'll post the pics. Btw, if someone has the old American LaFrance emblem that goes on the front of the cab I could sure use it so I don't have to figure out how to fabricate that

Just threw on a good coat of a metallic green that I mixed up. Love that color....it's Tamiya Green mixed with Tamiya Gunmetal for a nice dark green metallic. Got quite a few more coats to lay down before I'll move on but will post some pics along the way

My 12 year old son and I had a great time at NNL North yesterday. He entered two of his Corvettes and I entered my '69 Chevelle. There were a ton of amazing builds.
