Sam I Am Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) I have not touched a model in over a year. A friend sent me this last week and so I came on to see what was going on in the truck section and found this build thread. Is it too late for me to join in? The bare frame rails and fuel tanks appear to be the only thing started. Just re-re-read the rules. Frame and tanks are now in pieces. Edited January 29, 2019 by Sam I Am

tbill Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Can I add this trailer to my build? Not sure how it’s going to look, but, it’s gonna be hooked to the truck regardless, lol.

SpreadAxle Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I've done community builds but never a contest. I will jump in with this one I never considered my work to be of "contest quality" . It's an early-issue International Transtar 2 kit with the air ride rear suspension. It's an ebay built-up I bought years ago. Every tractor needs a trailer. I buy these transporters to build as moving vans, and that's what this one will be.

Oldmopars Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Just under 12 hours (less if you are on the East Coast) to go, itching to get started on this one. I will be spending my afternoon clearing off the build bench of current projects.

tbill Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I truly think the shorter time frame may help with completions this go round. So far, I think I’m 2 for 3 in finishing on time ( I think......), so going to try to stay focused this time .....
lwwoodss Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I plan to build a LCF Frieghtliner tank truck and trailer , A Western super tank. My starting place is this repurposed 63 inch freightliner cabover. The remainder of the parts will be fabricated and come from various kits.
