DRIPTROIT 71

Pretty awesome work here!!

I like the color!! On the hinges, I would make my own. I'm not a big fan of the kit hinges anyway. I use dollhouse hinges from Hobby Lobby cut in half. On the brake cylinders, these have wedge brakes just like the Freightliner kit which can easily found at Hobby Lobby and gotten with a 40% off coupon.

Looking forward to seeing this built! I would suggest KJ at Double Take Replicas for the visor. He has them for $4.00. His quality is great and his service is second to none.

This is a cab kit and fuel tanks from A.I.T.M.. The Frame and many other components came from the AMT R Model Mack. The Engine is a 6-71 from Gary Wallace. The transmission is a 5 speed. The tires are from Double Take Replicas.

Thanks Sam! Truthfully I'm undecided on what's next.

Very nice!! I did a similar project a while back.

Thanks Casey!!

Thanks Doc! Thanks Paul! I'm afraid that 6-71s are my favorite!

WOW! That's some nice fabricating!

Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to seeing this project!

I Like Yellow!!

Looks Great!

Glad to see you guys over here! Maybe will get some more traffic on this forum.

Welcome aboard! I use Flickr, 1000 photos can be uploaded free. It was much larger but they changed it. I had to delete about 6000 pictures. So if you see one of my posts missing pictures that's why.😀

This one is meant to represent a restored fleet truck. It is a combination of the DM 600 kit and the R-Model kit. The rear tires, wheels and suspension are from A.I.T.M.
