Awesome as always.  I look forward to watching it come together.

Me too.... not often we see a chain drive..... just a few miles from my place I found an OLD chain drive Kenworth mine truck..... I would like to try and get close to it, but it is on private property and rarely anyone around to ask......

Thanks Casey, I guess it was about time.............. when I read the post about another one biting the dust, I thought, no I don't want to see this one go down or rather slow to a crawl, like one other I belong to and there is good passion here, so I thought I could at least try to chat with the gays if nothing else... and try to check in regularly, if possible to keep these cool places alive and going...

Thanks guys......

I had the same problem, so I did a new Google search. It directed me to a new website copyrighted 2020: moluminum-com.3dcartstores.com. It looks like the old site with another provider maybe. I haven't tried to order yet, but if I get ready to, I may call Jamie first to make sure this new site is right.

Calling him is a good idea, that may be the thing to do, just to make sure.... good call... I may do that as well... email at least...

He has for sure, I have bought some wheels and tires from him, and have been very happy with them

Thanks, for the info Brian, I just may try one myself...... still some trepidation though.....

Top right side of your browser window, click on either the hamburger icon (3 horizontal lines), the double arrows icon or simultaneously press ctrl, shift, A. A new tab will open, Look for extensions or the jigsaw puzzle piece icon, you'll be in your adds ons manager. Search for X Frames Option 

HA !!!  It worked THANKS... you ARE a computer whiz ! top drawer, thanks..... I am on Jamie's site now..... man I still learn new stuff everyday..... awesome !!

Jeff

Thanks, I will have a look at that, BUT remember, I'm a truck driver, and not much of a computer whiz... 😉

and where do I look for that ? I had no idea...

EXCELLENT results................. I see you had the same guys fueling as we did where I worked............ perfect weathering and slopped fuel.. love it

Brian............ a couple of points here............ first is, I haven't commented on your absolutely spectacular build of the I conic B 61, precise build, and nailed the colors right on. The interior tub, is perfect, the color and very subtle wash, brought out the details exactly right, in my eye anyway, also............... I have had my eye on this kit and a couple conversions for years, but am a little intimidated by a full resin build.............obviously the quality is there and I have been to the AITM website hundreds of times..... the big question is, what did you use for the windshield glass, and was it difficult to make and install?  And is the kit worth the cost..... I am in British Columbia, so for an $80.00 kit for example, it translates to almost $120.00 with exchange and shipping and what ever those wonderful guys at the border decide to charge me.... so I have or should be a bit sure of an expensive purchase.... but YOUR results are spectacular

You're right,  now days just seat warmers,  no pride, no real skills and no desire to learn any of it.

I was just called back to do a quarry haul because the new automatics can't get out of the pits. Seems they done have a deep reduction like the sticks.  Lucky my Marmon wasn't tagged with antique plates yet.

If you're close to southern Maine you can take a drive in my '58 B773 not  cramped because of the LJ series cab. Still quad box with a Brownie so it is 3 sticks, but up graded power to a tip turbine 315h.p. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That would be cool, Paul, but I am a little ways away from Maine....  British Columbia Canada.... I'd love to see a pic of your truck...

Jeff

I just would like to be able to access it, and surely don't want Jamie to l9ose any sales...

The two hand shifting must have been crazy. I learned how to drive a truck in the service. It was a Ford C600 pulling a flatbed. Many, many moons ago. 

It was , but it made a real truck driver out of a guy who was interested in learning it, nowadays, automatics, seem to be just 'steering' a truck, kind of seems, to me, the true skill is getting lost, but that is just me.... I used to love these two sticks... would like to try my hand at them again just for fun...

Thanks Brian, I hope to contribute some something of value from time to tine...

Thanks, I appreciate that

Thanks Paul, I'm looking forward to some good chit chat and maybe learning some stuff along the way..

Get with Jamie at Moluminum.  He makes some awesome wheels and tires.

www.moluminum.com

 

I can't access Jamies site, is anyone else having that issue, I am on Firefox, and I get this thing that comes up about X Frames or some computer jargon, anyway, there is no way I can get on his site....

Hey guys, as the title says, long time sniffing around at the back of the room, but finally took the bull by the horns, and joined up..... long time model guy and truck guy too..... looking forward to chiming in once or twice..... thanks for having me
