BirdWatcher Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Don't know how i missed this one. Awesome work! I hope i can live to be around 137 too.
csxfan2001 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 The Orange Fleet is back, love what you did with this. I need to build one now.
kilrathy10 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks, Guys....Once again, I thank you for all your positive feedback.....This was a really fun one....
Mackvision Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Very nice work indeed! a sharp truck and a great subject! I worked for Atlas Van Lines and then United for 25 years! moving vans have a lot of appeal to me as model projects!..................................Mark
72 Charger Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 JT I wanted to ask you about your drom box . Do they have a set size and did they have doors in different places or where they all the same? .Did you cut up a trailer to make yours? Thanks Dave
kilrathy10 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Well, Dave, I'm sure somebody can answer that in detail, but my knowledge is limited on the subject.....However, I do know that droms can be pretty much any size you want.....Whether the truck is a cabover or a conventional, you can put a drom on the back of it....I've seen some pretty impressive race rigs that, seemingly, defy all practicality.....Just depends on how much money you have, I guess.....As for the doors, they seem to be, mostly on the passenger side of the truck, but they can be on both......... I made mine out of an old AMT van trailer I had laying around.... Maybe someone else here can chime in on this subject.... Edited October 14, 2014 by kilrathy10
Renegade Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Another great build J.T. I use a lot of the same paints but have been looking for a silver I like. Will have to check that out. Also a great tip on the jewels for marker lights.
