jcrstopher Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Roy, that is a beautiful truck. What kit or kits and parts did you use for the build? And what color are you guys using for this truck? I just started working on this truck myself. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I just added another YouTube - and have a Fotki page uploading now. Plenty of detail photos. Keep in mind, the truck in the photos has been modified over the years - the wheelbase is longer with a Peterbilt Air Leaf suspension on it now, the wheels are also newer.

allegheny Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Tim, The videos and photos are great! They will be very helpful in my "quest" of the "MovinOn" model. Thanks again for sharing them with us! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The Fotki pictures will help - and all this 'buzz' about making a model has allowed me to create an upcoming column with more specifics on building the truck. http://public.fotki.com/mackinac359/movinon/movinon-1/ Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing in Action Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Roy, that is a beautiful truck. What kit or kits and parts did you use for the build? And what color are you guys using for this truck? I just started working on this truck myself. Chris Thanks for the kind words Chris!! It started as the current issue W-900 Aerodyne "Snap-tite".I cut the roof off the sleeper/cab and made a filler on the roof of the cab and resized a ROG PETE 359 Sleeper roof(it was slightly bigger), I stretched the frame,Installed a partsbox "headache rack" and a V 903 Cummins resin engine.And AMT 10.00x20's tires and 1/4 fenders from a MOVIN' ON KW W-925 kit.The paint I used was Model Master 1845M Mystic Emerald paint and decals are from Jerry/Phoneguy at www.modeltruckin.com .I made my truck to be the updated version as it is today...I hope this helps!! Thanks for looking!!1 Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel-Dan Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 For those wanting to Watch "Movin' On" again, check your cable line up for a channel advertising itself as "RETRO TV" Movin' On is on. Rehobeth, Del's WRDE 9 is RETRO & show's Movin' ON at 2 PM every weekday!!! I do not see a "RETRO TV channel listed on DirecTV, but do not know abouot Dish Network. I too built one of the AMT kits WAY back when I Lost a second mostly complete, unbuilt in a trade, that yielded NOTHING to me. some clown named Glenn in Canada. I would love to see them re-issue this kit again. Maybe with all the Hollywood licensed kit they offer now they might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
