truckabilly Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Reedition of Volvo Vn (new concept ), than AMT set of 6 rigs, for 125 bucks incl.shipping and !!!! Kw S900 SAR (cabinekit) for 90 bucks. IMG_2014112112256.jpgIMG_2014112146120.jpgIMG_2014112146564.jpgIMG_2014112146952.jpg A little correction on the Kenworth.... It is not SAR. Not yet. The S 900 models were designed and manufactured in the USA and they were the first KWs exported to Australia. Australians wanted K100 models but they were not sufficient for their road conditions. The SAR model is Australia´s own design and manufactured in Australia. Edited November 23, 2014 by truckabilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I nabbed a Illini Sterling SBFA resin cab a few weeks ago. Ill probably use the Autocar Dumper as the donor kit I also got my hands on a model car mag from 1969 with an article on the California Hauler. Heres an ad advertizing the Calfornia Hauler, but the pic is of a 351, not a 359. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Heres another vintage magazine I scored. It has an awesome article by Phil Jensen on converting a Dodge L700 into a Diamond Reo. I figured it was going to be a resin conversion, but he gives the patterns to make it out of wood!! This is too cool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel A. Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Rob and Truckabilly - thanx for correction. Here' s KW Bullnose, full resin kit incl. PE parts (not Illini replica). Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just got all this in the other day. All sealed. I hate seeing the old department store/flea market price tags on these kits. Theres nothing like dropping $80.00 on one of your grails, and seeing that someone found it at a garage sale for $8.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) It took me over a year to find one of these kits back in May. Just like anything else - once you get one in the stash, you find them everywhere. $55.00 BIN off the Bay !

Ill admit that Ive never been that interested in this kit until I saw Jardas(Truckabilly) build of this truck on another forum. Its quite spectacular. I kinda want one now.
