A lot of u probably know of this one, shelbyelliott.com Pic of trucks he has sold that goes back to 1983 in the gallery section! plus some great large car ideas.

Supposed to be 98 here next three days!!!

Nice so far. I like the paint & stripes!

Looking good J.T. and in your favorite color too!

Nice truck!

Nice build!

Good looking truck. Still a couple of em around here pulling old grain trailers.

I see someone has been to Arkansas taking pictures!

1964 Merc. Comet 4 dr... Raced one in stock eliminator in mid 70's, love to have a model of it!

I had the whole set, don't remember what happened to them. There was a guy here in town that had a real vit kw. best looking truck around back then!

Gordon, I mainly use .040 for the sides and 080 for the roof panel. Since the inside is not visible, I use a piece of angle inside each corner. It gives you a little more meat in order to round the outside corners off. It makes the sleeper a little heavy, on a long w/b truck I use a thin piece of aluminum as long as possible super glued inside the frame rails. Keeps the frame from sagging over time. My models are in an office in a metal building , tends to get hot in the summer. I've found that the thicker roof keeps it from sucking inward. Once again, shelf models-no shows, so inside detail is not as important. Thanks to all for looking!

Great job!

Would be both interesting & helpful im sure. Go for it!

That's cool. When do we see the model!

Congrats! Good. Looking ride.

considered it with the age of the truck, but the friend I built it for, all his other vehicles, serv. Trucks, wreckers, etc, are well kept and shiny.

Thank guys for all the positve comments. I'ts good therapy!

hello harry! Now that my blood pressure is back down, I'll give you an answer. When I previewed the post, I noticed these two things did not get done. It was easier to address them in the text rather to fix them, reshoot pics, and post again. This truck, like a lot of mine, goes to friends or old customers of mine. I put their co name on it and I'ts already in their display case. Hope this didn't cause you to lose sleep!

Thanks guys! I thought it was dave, but could not find it on his site.

A year or so ago, someone was working on an internationl 9900i to cast. Did it ever get done? Looking to build one for a friend. He was also working on a 9400.

scratch built box, monogram dually chassis & wheels.

Clean & well done!

ssorry, can't get the rear door open!

This is another one started last year. A few details I see I forgot (vent window trim, fender marker lamp), but close enough to put on the shelf for now.

Beautiful trucks. After these pics I'd be embarrassed to show you a pic of an Arkansas hay hauler, (1-ton dually & 16 ft. utility trailer!) loaded to the max.
