Turbo590

Absolutely!!! I wish Earl, the best in his "new" venture.

I'm with Dennis....don't fix something that isn't "broke". Kurt

Jamie.... Looks great, Kurt

Jim, Superb work. I like the purple..... Kurt

This would make sense....take the old Brockways for example...From what I have seen the "buzzin" dozen was up until year 1974...there after...they kind of went to the way side....then the General was in late 76-77 intro...so it was never to happen from the factory to shoehorn a 12-cylinder under the current hood would be a feat...BUT how cool would that sound then??? Kurt

Steve...you're making some good progress, keep it up Kurt

Dave....supercharged. Wanted to keep it plain and simple...using as much as the stock kit parts...but there will be some "twists"...thanks, Kurt non sleeper it will be, thanks, Kurt

Sean....this project is on hold and has been for some time ....I'll get back to it at some point...I wanted to ease back into building with this old vintage build...plus I have another project that will be needing done prior to....Thanks, Kurt

Ben....I am going with the late 70's, early 80's OEM look. Here is a copy of the brochure I bought. Kurt Orange/red for the frame, Silver for the cab/hood..with some Alclad and photo-etch items.

Well...I have been "tinkering" with this on and off for several weeks...making several modifications to the factory kit. I forgot on how bad the "molds" were for this particular kit. Truck is in mock-up mode...I did redo the hood hinges to match OEM factory ones...the ones in the kit..had to go. Everything is aligning properly...Kurt Pictures to follow.. New Fuel tank

Jamie... Awesome on the Photobucket (thing) The aluminum fenders will rock...looking forward to seeing it in person on the next visit. Kurt

Well, there goes the neighborhood. Jamie is one of the best fabricators I know...and to have him on the forum...I know he will be a "wealth" of information to all. Welcome aboard... Kurt

Dave, Its good to see you building again...from what I see, I like it very much Looking to see more progress.... Kurt

you are welcome. Now just get building...I want to see some progress

What picture in the photo album are you referring or referencing to? There is a Trailking rock trailer being offered...and the trailer that you see behind the KW...and 3 different dump truck bodies available from Gary...like Jim mentioned... Kurt

Pictures from this past Sunday's show. Very nice turnout...great vendor selection, and good to see old and new friends. Kurt http://public.fotki.com/turbo590/2011-model-car-and-/fulton-ny-model-car/

zimmie, I am not that far from you, Northern Cambria....PM me, and I would be happy to help you in getting started What type of trucks interest you?? Kurt

Guy's.... After a long break...I decided to do just a simple, straight forward build. This will be a cab and chassis, just like it was just delivered to the dealership...a few "spins" here and there of course...pieces and parts have been ordered. The engine is the stock Detroit, Silver series 8V92. More pictures and progress to come, Enjoy...Kurt

Jeff, For your first truck, you did do an awesome job.... Kurt

Robert.... You may want to consider the Model Car Garage "Big Rig/Piano Photo etch" hinges... A link to Ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/MCG2204-Big-Rigs-Piano-Hinges-Photo-Etched-1-24-1-25-/270371892167 Or you can go to the Model Car Garage website direct... http://www.modelcargarage.com/ Here is the product used on my HD FLC I did a few years ago, Kurt

Nice build, Kurt

I agree on the spotlight being in the military class....and if there was a scratch built class, I agree on that as well. I've been to alot of shows...I have never seen a scratch built category...Commercial is Commercial, unless it is broken down into "axles" and or light/heavy duty. Kurt

Cool looking rig.... No updates on this build...still sitting on the bench. When the weather starts to turn (cold)..maybe some progress will finally happen Thanks, Kurt

Tim, Spiffy as usual....unique color scheme indeed Kurt

Be patient with Jamie...he is not casting on a full time basis right now...and I know he has been receiving literally "tons" of emails.
