All well worth the extra effort ! A beatiful build on its own. I am currently building a turbo charged DD Silver 92 from 1979 . I will post pics when done, Those engines came in white, black or silver. I have done one in silver previously, maybe black for this one? The exhaust has orange flames I am trying to replicate. The Cats c olors are spot on. Love the valve covers.

What happened to Classic Truck Modeler magazine
NAVY replied to Keith Dunn's topic in Model Truck General Discussion
Got my issue Saturday. Thanks Lee ! looks good, Merry Christmas and to everyone I wish a better new year ! -
Swweet ! i was looking for those. I know the re-issue is out-but nice to see the old school instructions. If i remember correctly they were in a neat booklet and very detailed. I hope AMT has kept them close to original. Really want AMT to reissue the original brown and white "international truck show" Peterbilt 359 with the sleeper. It was so much better then the california hauler in terms of detail and buildability, but after all these years the molds might me lost of damaged. Keep on truckin !

1st converson: AIMTrk Sterling onto AMT AutoCar, tips?
NAVY replied to Dennis's topic in Model Truck Workbench
I would check the width of the front axle vs the Sterlings fenders. You might have to narrow (or add to) the axle to get the proper distance. Make sure you cement the cab, fenders, and other resin with a good 5 minute epoxy to the styrene frame. I have been using a JB weld product with very good success. Super glue although good for small resin pcs is not to good for the heavier resin castings like tanks, tool boxes, wheels and cabs. Please post the picks ! That Sterling is a great looking truck. -
Casey, good morning. I too sent a message from the contact us button a few days ago. Can you update me on order #623 please. Thanks much, Keep on Truckin !

It has been almost a full year and still no issues or public notice as to what's going on. I am sure if we knew he needed help we would all do what we could. His magazine and effort towards the hobby is a worthy contribution. Hope all is well Lee ! keep on trucking ! -
Try e-bay as you never know what you will find. I have had good luck finding that odd part now and then. Good luck !

Gorgeous work ! what is the base kit that you used, and where can I get some emergency lights/beacons for 1/25th scale. Thanks in advance for your reply. Keep up the good work!

Scenes Unlimited is my new go to for wheels and tires. Great products, great shipping, you won't be sorry. I miss Double Take Replicas- but these are as good. Keep on Trucking!

Same thing here guys. Lee has always been quick to answer emails, but I have not gotten an answer to the last two sent recently. Hope all is well. His column in Wheels of Time, the publication of the American Truck Historical Society is still running. -

NAVY replied to Johnny Red's topic in Model Truck Building Tips & Tricks
Sweet trick. I love that old school freight shaker look. The conv from the seventies along with the Peterbilts where some of the best looking trucks every made. I will give this a go. Thanks for the post.
