DRIPTROIT 71

Looks great Chuck!

Very nice! I like it!!

Beautiful wrecker! Nice work on the bed.

Looks Great!

These trucks were used by CF to push trucks over Donner pass in the snow. I will start with the AMT kit. It has two options; a 63” daycab or a 86” sleeper cab. My reference truck appears to have the 72” cab. So that is where I am starting. 63” cab 86” cab: New 72” cab:

Looks like a cool project!

This began with a Ford Louisville dump. Cab by Dan, scratch built 6v-53 Detroit Diesel engine.

I really like this one! It looks great!!

This one is built curbside, but I did rough together a 3116 Cat for it.

Thanks Chuck! I didn't realize it until a few days ago.

As I said before Charles. I wish that I had half of your talent! Excellent Work!! It is looking Amazing!!

Sorry for the late response, I haven't been around for a while. Life has been busy. I don't remember the paint color. I'm pretty sure that I used Duplicolor in a spray can though. The stripes are decals from the kit. The air tank came from the AMT R-Model Mack. The 2 hole Budds came from Double Take Replicas, sadly they are no longer in business. Jamie at moluminum.com offers excellent 2 hole Budds though. I did convert it from 4 headlights to 2 headlights. If you have any more questions let me know.

Nice!

Very nice!!

Thanks Brian!

This is a model of a truck from a company where my dad used to work; Piedmont Asphalt Paving Company.

Thanks guys!!! Thanks Charles! The aluminum is just a little heavier gauge than those aluminum throw away pans that you get at the grocery store. I've used for several things, including a leak in my roof.

Awesome build Brian!!

I used the air tank off of the AMT R-Model Mack on my CF truck for the tank behind the cab. End caps can be made from stacking flat styrene, then sanding it down to the shape that you want. Sorry to take so long to answer. I haven't been on in a while.

Resin Motor Ranch has them. They show "out of stock", but I am told that if you contact them that they will fix you up.

Nice looking Cannonball!!!

Thanks!! Thanks Johnny!!

Thanks! I found it on Ebay. It was mastered by Charles Rowley. I don't think that anyone is currently casting it.
