They told me that the average day is 35 to 45 loads in a 12 hour day. Drivers get paid by the load. I'll pass Now that the Tropical Storm has passed through finally, I'll be leaving on Thursday night Maine to Miami hopefully in 2 1/2 days.

I'll take more.

Going to Miami on Wednesday to pick it up. One of 100 made to showcase their truck in at movie A License To Kill. All the special interior goodies and the Numbered Built For plate is still there. 425h.p. V8 Cat, 18 speed, documented 249788 miles with all receipts since new. Covid bankrupted the company.

And only 70 h.p.

I was building this as filler for my Leach unit. Rear wrecker body and rear chassis is modified from the Encore Model Bedford break down truck. The front chassis and cab is a modified Monogram '50 Ford F1 cab and chassis. The Bedford front axle was modified to fit he Ford chassis. The cab fenders were re radiused and the fender bottoms lengthened to F4 design. wheels and tires are from the Bedford. The kit boom is a licensed copy of a late 1940 Manley hand crank unit. The vintage Bang Bar is scratch build. Beacon light is aluminum tube and an Orange LED. Up graded the engine to an early 1950's Desoto 354 Hemi. Paint is Krylon and decals are parts box. Ford and F4 are Modelcar Garage Photo etch. The headlights in the last photo are coated with thinned Tamiya Clear Smoke. I feel it makes the look more realistic with shadows and shiny areas.

I was told by an other small magazine company that depending on what state the printing company is locate, that quite a few of the smaller printers/publishers were shut down for the virus quarantine.

Would you like to see the sole pic? Paul

Sure looks the part!! I always liked all the Sterlings (even the newest ones) especially the heavier Sterlings with the Locust boards inserted in the frame rails

Excellent build! Weathered just right. I did one years ago but only have a single pic left due to Photo Bucket

Ancient AirFix 1/32 scale kit of the London Fire Brigades 1914 DENNIS. The real unit served from 1917 up to the late 1940's and served all through the London Blitz. The kit has minor detailing and Tamiya lacquer paint. This is one of the only ones I've seen built.

This is a old build I took out to clean. Built about 2006 or 2007. Made it on the Scale Firehouse 2007 calendar for the month of December. The unit depicts an I.H. as it would have looked on December 7, 1941. Resin cab, Opel Blitz chassis and Americanized pumper body.

Very impressive build. I didn't realize the size until I saw the clothes pin clamps. Wow!!

Excellent!

Very nice, I'm impressed with the cab guard design. Is the body patterned after any brand? Has a Garwood look to it. Paul
