Good words of wisdom at the end. Being 61 I've come to realize that I in the past laughed at things people did for their pleasure. But I no longer do that. Instead I get a smile on my face thinking how they enjoy doing it.

These videos are fantastic, you have inspired me to get back into this hobby after a 45 year break. The amount of products and the tips and tricks to help build these kits with such detail is awesome, we used to thin out black paint to make our own panel line accent, we also used to light a piece of scrap sprue on fire and hold the front top corners of the trailers above it in that nasty, sooty smoke to make the trailer look like the diesel exhaust had stained them. I'm going to build the White-Freightliner Day Cab and the Trailmobile set of doubles done up in the Consolidated Frightways livery. I don't want these to look too clean, I want some long haul dirt on them, squashed bugs on the windshield and the front of the truck, maybe some driving on snowy roads while being chained up grime. Do you have a video that shows some of these kind of tricks.

I built this kit back in the 1970's and this reissue looks like it made a lot of improvements . The "Drip Rails or Stiffeners" that you reffered to are the hand rails that you can safely climb into the cab or go to the back of the cab to hook up the air lines. I drove on of these cab overs from the late 1960's to the mid 1970's and mid 1990's to the early 2000's , the rest of the driving was in a conventional.

When I started driving trucks in 1973, I started with the sister truck to this truck, the Chevrolet Titan. Same truck, just different badging. I hauled suspended (swinging), beef from Omaha, Nebraska to various cities in the northeastern part of the US. Mostly New York City, but once in awhile, to other major cities in the northeast. Brings back memories.

This is a really awesome build as many of your builds are! I think it's pretty funny these AMT big rig builds have the wrong things in chrome, like the fifth wheels, brake chambers, and of all things that weren't chrome the grab handles on the old GMC Astros as also were called Jimmy's. I remember my dad drove one at a company back in the late 70s, and it had that crazy huge dog house dashboard and I'll always remember a power window run my air, because I got my arms got pinched bye it when my dad put it down for a second and it hurt for a tiny bit then we both laughed. You do incredible work with detail, and I really like how you use the Sharpies, it gives me a lot of ideas for some builds I need to finish. This is an awesome build I would love to get that complete kit.

I have the original red cabover kit (can't remember the co. on the box - in the attic), but have you found a way to install the grill so it doesn't protrude/extend beyond the cab? It should be pretty much flush with the body. That's the biggest reason I haven't completed it. Want it to look right. And, yeah, I drove a few of these, along with a number of other cabovers. Gotta get going on building these again. I bought my first one around '72 and it was the Watkins W925 and later the Watkins reefer. My favorite build was the International 4070A by Ertl. SUPER kit! And the parts fit way better than the AMT kits.

I also broke the two mud flaps while assembling and painting/detailing. Other than that, the whole kit is amazing and I never had a problem with the cab assembly as it is in two halves.

I love the fact that you use rattle bombs for all of your major paint work and your Future Floor Polish hack is genius! And I'd like to personally thank you for painting the engine "more commonly called power unit in the trucking industry" the correct color. That little detail is something that often irks me with other builders. The fact that you tend to use the correct engine block color single handedly keeps me coming back to see what you're going to build next. Alas, Detroit diesel uses Alpine Green and although you didn't actually have Alpine Green, you used something very close. I believe you called it Cobalt Green? At the very least, I now have a go to color that gets me close to Alpine Green. Anyway, thanks for getting that little detail right. Also, the happy accident about cracking the wheel ring, honestly makes it more accurate. The "Widow Maker" wheels, manufactured by the Dayton Wheel Company and used extensively back then, actually have a split bead ring that snapped onto the rim holding the tire bead in place. The story I was given for the nick name is because those rings would sometimes pop off before they could be completely snapped into place. They were put on using, basically, a 15 pound sledgehammer and would some times fight the installer. If the ring did pop off, it did so under great tension and was known to sometimes kill the installer hence the nickname... Anyway, thank you for your paint hacks and well thought out build options. I, as well as others I imagine, thoroughly enjoy your videos. P. S. I love the music choices you make instead of the irritating loops some people use. Carry on.... 😎

I try to get something similar to what the instructions recommend, but factory perfect builds are not my goal. On the International Transtar I painted it red, since IH painted all their engines red at that time, no matter who made the engine for them. And I've gotten dozens of comments telling me I'm 'wrong' because some folks refuse to admit they might not know everything. Thanks for the nice words!

I'd like to build this one and I'm gonna most likely order it off line. I wanna build it and experiment with trying to stretch the frame and lower it to the ground. When I see some models my mind starts going and I can see what I want it to look like. Their the ones you really want to build and are excited to see your ideas come alive. And maybe if the cab comes out the way you like it's nice to get a trailer to match if so it looks like an old school trucker that owns his truck and trailer.

In Canada, this vid is 18+. We can drink 3 years earlier than you American guys! XD Really nice build and nice kit too.

Nah, he didn't say anything about drinking beer, just boiling bratwurst in it. Nice way to avoid "not child-friendly" demonetization.

Just a question, Chris; why do you do some of your steps on what looks like a towel or piece of carpet? What cool tip am I missing?

I just like the way it holds stuff in place, and keeps me from getting paint on things or damaging the model rubbing it on a desk top, etc.

Looking at the finished shots, I see you did very grand. GMC often had wood panels for the switch areas and the gauge clusters. The valve covers you also did very grand as well. Detroit painted their valve covers green as well. If I was going to do a custom truck job, then I would leave the valve covers chrome.

You do great builds but one thing I would say.... you put all this detail into the cab interiors, why not get a small chain or a string of thread... glue it above the window, just inside the drivers window, so it would be the airhorn lanyard hanging down. Just a small suggestion for added details. But outstanding work just the same. Keep the videos coming

The companies insist I build from the box only. Anything I add, even when I say I personally added it, people will buy the kit and scream at AMT that it wasn't in the box.

I learned to drive truck in a 79 Astro. Had a 6V92 Detroit and a 9 speed and Dayton wheels. I hated those types of wheels. They were an absolute pain to balance on a truck. Lol!!

Why not strip the chrome with purple power or oven cleaner prior to painting?

You certainly can. Even the master Tim Boyd himself paints right over the chrome lots of times, per his own words in his articles. Your choice to build and paint as you wish.
