This is one of my favorite trucks and one of the hardest kits to build for me. Good luck, I'll be watching!

Yeah, I love that old kit too. Have fun.  

First model contest I ever entered, back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

There are several parts missing, or in double. So it must have been part of another project. In any case, it will have a Lincoln 430 with a Latham supercharger.

Somertime you gotta do what you gotta do. Couldn't find a drive assembly that fit for the supercharger, so I excised the pulleys and will make a belt. Two of the wheel retainers were missing, so I made some up. Thank God for Plastruct.

The day had a bad start. I started painting the body of the truck and I ran out. And.......Tamyia spray paints are made of unobtainium.

Good news, I found a can in a hobby shop about 60 miles from here. It was his last one.

These days you have to buy them when you see them.

You are right my friend. It is far from easy.

Turns out my granddaughtrt works next door to the hobby shop. She picked up the paint and came by with it yesterday.

Looking Real Good!

Looking good there Pat.  I'm liking the color.  Good thing you were able to come up with another can.

Looking great!  I like the green and the chrome pops nicely against it.
