By the way you have a lot of broken links on your site.

Really? D'oh! I just migrated it over from a failed server. If you could point them out, I'd really appreciate it. I thought I'd fixed all of them except for 1 that I know of...
 
Great truck; if mine was like that when I got it, I'd just be driving the he'll out of it. Why restore it?

Family project. Want to do a full "frame-off" and teach the kids something about cars while I'm at it. Also, I'm pretty sure the head gasket is blown (or worse)... And as far as I've go, so far, I see there's quite a bit of early-stage cancer in there. Early enough that I can fix it.
 
Tom,
I like your truck and the color. I'm working on a 29 RPU also. Mine is green with the same color yellow wheels. Why do they all have yellow wheels?

First thing you need to do is change that fan for an aluminum one.

If I can help you in any way feel free to contact me.

Thanks for the offer! You like the color it is now (I dunno if that's original), or the one I'm proposing (Brown/Orange)?

Yes, yes, I know, I know... Heresay...
 
No, it isn't original. Originally it should have been Rock Moss Green, Commercial Drab, L'anse Green Dark, Gunmetal Blue. I like the red/Burgundy. Brown and Orange sound like it might be pretty too.
 
You're going to have a lot of fun! Teach them well, could start them on their way to the next gen of Aers!!
 
Welcome to the hobby and you will soon find that this probably most fun thing to do for a hobby. Frustrating at times but when you get through the problems it is very satisfying!
 
Well, a lot has happened over the last year or so...

The truck is mostly down to its constituent parts. I'm hoping to get the frame and suspension components blasted & painted some time in the near future.

Maybe I'll even be able to get a small piece of my "garage" back shortly after that, too!

As always, relatively regular updates are occurring at the truck's web site: http://modela.burke.tv

The "Chronology" is where I keep things - if you're really bored, and need a cure for insomnia, just go there and click on the month to see what happened then.
