                        Phil,

                        You did a good job and it's a cool truck.  I understand about the remains of the kit, I have three of them in the stash-mocking me.  Why do I have three you ask (one of each)?  Got 'em for 10.00 apiece at the Dallas Nats in 2000 from the Accurate Miniatures guys. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

                        Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.

                        It's in the box, on the shelf with the other partial kits.  Anyone want the remains?

                        May I, or better yet, dare I ask what happened to the rest of the M8B?

                        interesting subject,  and you've put a lot of effort in it. reminds me of super sedan category in australia which had 'liberal' modification laws, that saw cars like a VW type 3 with a chevy v8 engine.

                        Hey-

                          Just finished this.  I was building another Trans Am race car and the thought occured that a mid-engine El Camino would be really different.  So I combined both projects into this one.  I added the drivetrain from an Accurate Miniatures McLaren M8B to an AMT '68 El Camino.  It was a pretty tight fit to get it all lined up, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

                         Thanks for looking,

                        Phil
