Album info

I have had this Dodge L700 truck model since I was a kid. My grandfather found it in a dumpster. He use to be a garbage man that worked for the city of Chicago. It was an incomplete kit. It was missing all the trailer pieces. I kept it around for years not knowing what to do with it. Then a few months back I bought a Resin Ramp Bed from Jimmy Flintstone and had acquired a Rick Dobitren 1988 J2000 that needed a rebuild from the same guy I got the 1966 Buick Wild Cat from. I wanted to make sure the car I was putting on it matched the size of the Ramp. I bought a twelve cylinder motor from Shape Ways and a set of Semi Wheels from 3D Scale Parts. After everything was painted I was really disappointed in the quality of the Truck. IMC kit that was not that easy to work with. The door were terrible. i finally ended up just gluing them in.
