I like how it looks, waiting to see the set with the tractor.

Thank you Germán. I'm eager to see them together as well.

That thought has been floating around in the back of my mind Dan. I've been leaning toward loading a number of my "decent" builds, ones that are "good" but don't quite deserve their own place  in the spotlight. 

These are the first three that come to mind when I consider that.

My 1960 Starliner

 

The 1963 Impala

and my 1965 Galaxie

 

Thanks for asking Dan.

Nice selection so far just 3 more to fill it up lol.  For a story on this load of cars you can say that it’s either arriving or leaving one of the big auction houses and make the truck a specialized for these types of deliveries.

Thanks Dan, that's kind of what I was thinking too. As far as filling it up, I have more tan enough builds, it's just a matter of deciding which ones to use.

 

This is from about ten months ago, I've added a few more since then.

I've got that same kit to build as well as an older style. I want to build an L700 and load the older style trailer with '67 Chargers. I've got an affliction for these cars.

Yours is looking Great! 

[David G.]

Thank you.

That's a nice set of Chargers Topher!

I have a couple myself, maybe you noticed them in the display case.

 

A white 2013 Charger I built as a replica of my daily driver and the green 1971 Charger I built as a companion to the white one. 

Cheers!

I did notice, nice builds. I should get my butt in gear and get those built. I've had my '67 for 35 years.

Thirty-five years! 😮 

By now, it's a member of the family!

Absolutely. I've had her longer than my wife and 1st born! Me in '90 going to my buddy's wedding.

David, I thought I had lost you, but you’re over here building rigs and trailers!! Great progress, it’s always fun doing something out of your comfort zone. I’m in for the ride.

I'm glad you found me Steve. I agree, I'll build anything that strikes my fancy. Not only is the challenge fun but I usually end up learning a thing or two. I tend to think of myself as a model builder who builds Model Cars, Mostly.

I'm glad to have you along for the build Steve.

Hello Everybody!

After several attempts at removing the weird texture/coating on these wheels, this is what I ended up with. This one is especially stubborn but the others are passable. At some point one just has to quit fussing with stuff and move on.

 

 

Mounted they look... okay. I'll use them for now but I'm keeping other options open.

 

 

Here's another option, a forgotten set of wheels from the junk yard.

 

 

So I'll break 'em down and clean 'em up and see what I have. Luckily it looks like the previous builder painted the wheels before assembling them making them easier to dissemble.

 

As always, thanks for taking the time to looks and please feel free to comment.
