I seen they matched, you did a very good job on 'em. Those were the trucks that filled the roads when I was some younger.....
Now your other pictures showed up! Did you build all those too?? That was a family hobby of ours when I was growing up. My Dad still has a lot of the ones we built

- Heck of a collection! How many do you have? Modeling is a great hobby. If I had my way, I'd make it an optional course in schools. You learn patience, how to read & follow instructions, and it stimulates your creative side also.
Awesome idea!! About the school, I mean! I came from a family that cars was the hobby. But I learned a lot by building models even at 9 yrs old. The parts, painting them, etc. etc..

Wow that freight liner cab over brings back some memories. My dad had one that was brown and tan that I road in from 3 years old to about 6 years old. My grandpa had a brown Mack cab over too. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures. Cool collection for sure!

I want to do that dirt track car soooo. bad lol .
My dad and I actually built a 72 dart circle track car from the old Mopar kit car blueprint. When I saw the model, I got it and painted it to match our car. Most all the models I have, I've built to duplicate a car we've had or I've seen
