Hi guys, I have been building models all my life and took a few years off to start a small LLC building hot rods and restoring vintage cars. The latest job I had in house got me back into the scale hobby as I wanted to create the vehicle for my own little collection. Here it is so far. These were real trucks modified to take people on tours of the sleeping bear dunes here in Northern Michigan. Thanks for letting me join!

Hey! Where are the seatbelts?
All kidding aside, nice work, and welcome!

I'm no pro, not even close, just an IT-nerd that loves old American iron. This has been in my possession since it was a daily-driver in 1988, it is one sheetrock wall away from my modeling bench right now. Also, love Hagerty, been with them for 10+ years now.

(it did not look like this in 1988)
