Hello, back into model trucking after a long (2004) absence. Live in south Arkansas, am 57 yrs old, have owned a trucking co., auto body shop, & a sign shop over the last several years. Disabled now after a couple of heart surgeries, needed something to occupy my time. Had a pretty good collection of about 60 trucks till 2004 when my wife decided i needed to spent more time with her. Cuaght me gone drag racing one weekend and threw all my model collection in the dumpster! Yes, i'm still married to her. Anyway started over recently & found this forum. So much information, so little brain to process it! So hello everyone. Below is some of the old stuff. You will have to excuse the focus, they were taken in the late 90's with a 35mm camera & rookie photographer. Got a couple of new projects started, will post later.

Hi Larry, Welcome aboard. I'm a new member as well and like you I've been out of the hobby for quite some time, 33 years to be exact. Of those 33 years I spend 25 of them driving trucks both over the road and in local service. For me it wasn't my wife or ex that threw away my model truck collection, it was my parents. They decided my collection just had to go shortly after I joined the USAF My custom freight shaker that I'm currently using in my profile picture, is the only truck to survive the parent scrapping So far I've found this forum is loaded with a lot of good people and great ideas But most of all, remember to keep the shinny side up and the dirty side down
