S10man Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Having followed many of your fantastic builds in the past, I look forward to seeing this one unfold Dave. It looks like you're off to a good start. I've often wondered what you use for inspiration...do you have access to actual blueprints or do you scale from photographs? Excellent work however you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 This will be cool! I'll bet one of the first (of probably many to come) modifications of the ALF kit. Looks good so far! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 This is coming along great as usual. Are you going to include a full hose bed or just a couple of pre-connects off the back? What are you using for the gold striping? it works well and adds alot to the overall look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Kingsley Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 That's amazing! I just got one of the kits last night at the TNMCC meeting, and by looking at your Fotki, I see you have completed 3 already? WOW! That looks like a very complex kit, I spent about 20 minutes just looking at the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
