Interesting take on some of the Show Rod kits. Paul

Made the bus into a Top Fuel team bus. Changed the interior around with kitchenette area, different seating and a Flat Screen TV. Made wooden flooring from 1/200 scale wooden ship mode deck coated with Clear Epoxy. The counter tops were painted Semi Black with stippled light grey and white for the Marble affect and coated with epoxy also. Paint is Diamond Black automotive lacquer.

Revell of Germany 1/24 scale.

Making an E10 1425 c.i. twin turbo MACK V12 from a pair of AMT Mack V8's. Here is the progress so far. Paul Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Got a major part of the fitting done. Had to add 3/16" into the injector pump and split the intakes into 3 pieces to add fillers to lengthen them. Still need to blend in the added intake runners. Made 5 pieces to lengthen the exhaust manifolds and make pipes to feed the turbo. Modified a 6 cylinder oil pan to fit the engine too. All the holes are drilled for the injector lines, fuel system, compressor air and coolant lines and Turbo lube and drain line. Paul Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

That is Squadron White putty. I like it because it dries quick , sands easily and so far no shrinkage.

Welcome!

Built a number of years ago and freshened up a bit recently. The Astro is basically out of the box with a few corrections. Fuel tanks and battery boxes for starters and basic plumbing on Turbine. The Titan was converted to a test mule with parts from an E Bay Turbine junkers. Unfortunately both added grill decals faded severely Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Done less the visor. . .lost it and the replacement. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Chassis is painted in Testers Acryl Metallic Blue and most all the running gear is detailed and in. Started making up the air intake, exhaust and brackets. Signal lights are almost done, as are Mirrors and brackets along with the outer door handles and P.E. wiper blades. I'm pleased with the results.

I like all your added details. The horns under the air filter can is eye catching along with the Maglite clipped to the seat base. Paul

Chassis is moving along. Made up battery boxes, steps, fifth wheel plate and turntable, dryer, air filter can, hinges , 9 shots to coil up the mud flap holders and fabbed up splash guards in front of rear wheels. Got the interior almost complete including the GM/Fuller Electro-Shift 10 speed selector set up. Probably forgetting a lot of parts added too.

Built as a picked over junk yard dog. Paul Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Got the details on the air tank mounts added, rear cab pad, the exhaust "rattle box" done, fifth wheel plate mounted and partial details added and the fuel tanks built and detailing started. Started the cab. Cut the sleeper area down, made a grill for it and added vent window posts. The windshield divider was a bit of work as the windshield is Vee'd only 10 degrees.

Cut down a 8V71 and made it into a 6V71. The other part in the works is an exhaust "rattle box" that gives the Detroit Diesels a really slick sound like nothing in the world. Paul Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Really so nice work! Your aircraft modeling touches sure make the interior P@P! Keep your up dates coming. . .And Welcome Paul

Fantastic!! Change the name to Pine Hollow Auto Service and it's 100% Paul

Very nice work and great concept! I my humble opinion a set of wheel sanders would be a perfect period touch. Paul

Basically 99% scratch built form micro I beam, tube and 160 thousands plastic carved into main cross member and straight pins for pivots. All suspension moves and all linkage steers as the real ones.

I'll have some photos tomorrow of it. Thanks to pins and power tools it is not too bad. Paul

Yes with air ride. Making up the assembly now. Paul

Got the rear modified with the trailing arms, air bags and rear sway bar unit. The entire assembly is held in temporary with ,020 pins to locate other components. Paul Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Dang! I always looked at using the pin with the little ball on the end. NEVER thought of just a plain ole pin!

Coming alone great!! How did you do the neckers knob? Great little detail. Paul
