    AMT Ford C 900/Garwood LP 900 refuse truck

    ...Finished Black washing and dull coating the engine...still a couple of shiny spots that need knocked down some more. Started out with a shiny Pewter Gray from the rattle can.....the end result after applying some earth tone colors, Black wash and a couple coats of dull coat. My wife Amy is choosing all the color for this rig and I must admit that she has a better eye for color coordination than I do.....should turn out to be a unique trash truck yet fill the bill as far as trash trucks are concerned if that makes any sense. Next up is the frame/chassis

    Decking cut but needs some fine tuning, paint on. Next, lights, decals and some additional details then back to truck.

    Fab work nearly completed, didn’t realize the kit has no dolly legs so I got to fab some up. Some finish work on the frame then color.

    Took a break from the truck today and started the trailer build. Using the AMT Lowboy kit as the donor. Will not use the beaver tail, will stretch to 40ft. Build a set of 10 hole wheels. Paint will be turquoise for the frame and semi gloss black for suspension/axles.

    Rear fenders mounted, lights on, custom fuel tanks mounted, built aero skirt supports and mounted them. Think I will shorten the exhaust, but making progress. Finish up interior and cab next.

    Tanks will be only partially visible with the aero skirts on but I just couldn’t use them as is. They just don’t look good. Getting the paint on the hood repaired as well.

    WoW -- that's just wonderful -- great fleet ! Lovin' the Autocar 😋 That must be from the Carolina owner's private collection -- it doesn't have to go up and down the road unless it wants to. Johnny

    Fantastic. I was looking forward to seeing a photo of the whole fleet. I like the way you put the trailer in the background of the family portrait.

    The last is a Great Dane Reefer from the old Ertl kit.
  26. The Ford C 900 that I am building has "presumably" an Allison MT 42 auto trans. My question is that I am wanting to run a control cable from the the governor on the Ford engine to the Allison trans.... I am unable to find any reference pictures only wording describing "a plate with 4 bolts on the rear drivers side of the transmission" in regards to the location which the kit transmission does not seem to have. Any help appreciated

    Yes, will give it a try. I still have the other hood (grill not molded in) and paint work is complete. Will try to save the hood first but have a backup plan.

    That transition from a vertical surface (hood) to a horizontal surface (fender) can be tricky, especially since there is a slight curve and not a 90 degree angle to work with....might try the sealing of the tape method that I previously mentioned.
