Bobby, Excellent pictures and coverage as always....I enjoyed viewing them....Kurt Congrats to Jeremy.... Kurt

Jeff, Is a personal friend....and "his" work is truly amazing, pictures do not, do it justice....

Robert...Thank you I normally start with the engine, and then build the truck around it. Kurt

Jim.... If I can get off of my rear end...and finish on what I started, several months ago...I will have an available chassis and engine decal kit, for the Lonestar...just like the others I have done in the past....just need to get past the model building "blah's" It will be available here hopefully soon....Kurt

Mark.....I never use the stock chrome. All chrome has been stripped, and either stainless steel and or polished aluminum Alclad II has been applied. Much more realistic look..... Tim....how many of the DD60 engines have you built and modified?? That is a question I personally would like to know....Thanks again, Kurt

Jim, Superb work....as always. Hope to see it soon.....Kurt

Mark... Here are a few pictures of the DD Series 60 engine (DD blue) along with my decal kit...for reference Kurt Hope this helps you out.....

Tim, You nailed this one right on the "head" Very cool indeed...even with the old REX body Kurt

Black fabric "weed" barrier works well.... From any home improvement store/Sam's Club Kurt

Superb....nice old build Kurt

Tim... That is a very unique build...congrats. I was nice to see the step by step (build progress) you shared with us... Take care, Kurt

Dave... Outstanding work, as usual. The pictures of the engine/plumbing really pop. Take care, Kurt

Great information...Thanks

Great website. Thank you for the link.

2011 ATCA Truck Show and, Mack Plant tour pictures. (Great Reference pictures) and some models as well. Just got back from a very warm day in the sun...took pictures until the camera died...the cream of the cream...tons of old trucks and iron. Here they are...all 445 pictures...Enjoy http://public.fotki.com/turbo590/truck-shows/atca-truck-show-2011/ Kurt McLucas

The Qualcomm dish...is not included. A "button" was used to replicate one.

Lucky you were.... Here is some actual pictures of the Lonestar...and the kit, taken from the hotel lobby that Friday night before the NNL show... A bunch of us got together after dinner....Enjoy, Kurt http://public.fotki.com/turbo590/2011-model-car-and-/25th-annual-nnl-east/

Guy's Here are some pictures I was able to capture during the show... Enjoy....Kurt McLucas http://public.fotki.com/turbo590/2011-model-car-and-/25th-annual-nnl-east/

Tim...Thank you...that means a lot coming from you. I "do" have a stock pile of Evergreen and Plastruct....and at 3.00 per bag...a small fortune. I do pickup sheets of Styrene when I can find them...some donated..some at auctions out of all places. With the cost of "oil" going up...I am sure these prices will increase as well... Will need a 2nd job...I guess... Thanks, Kurt

Scott.. It is really starting to take shape Keep the pictures coming Kurt

Tim, You have been very busy.... You need one of those "English" wheels Looks good so far...keep the pictures coming... Kurt

Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback The inspiration came from an actual 379 running in my "area" with a new EAST Genesis on it...Plus just having visited and toured the EAST MFG plant in Ohio back in August 2010...the "stars" aligned ...this piece might actually have a home at EAST when it is all said and done... Some updated photos: Thank you, Kurt
