Here is a collection that I have so far but these are just the latest ones I have just about all the Wix Filter ones in the series. I have been playing around with some of them as you can see in the pictures.

Andy4639 · 08-23-2003, 04:05 PM

This is the new 1/18th scale west coast choppers I found at the local Wally world.

j/k

bouncytruck · 08-25-2003, 11:49 AM

As far as the Blazer goes, you can also get the ERTL Blazer KIT. It is the same thing but unassembled and usually a little cheaper. I picked mine up for $12 on E-bay. Just keep an eye out, sometimes they sell for over $50 sometimes $10.

REDNEKID · 08-25-2003, 03:04 PM

Those are some really kewl collections you guys have!

Andy4639 · 08-26-2003, 10:02 PM

Dinnut:

I took a peice of tubing and used the hood hinges off of the truck to make the reverse hood. It worked great and it was my first try at it.
My next project will have doors that actually open and shut.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2003, 10:09 PM

So does the hood shut??? And are those 24'' wheel's.

Andy4639 · 08-27-2003, 04:31 PM

Yes it does. It will shut all the way and the tires don't scratch it either. When I get home tonight I will take some pics.

**smitty62** · 08-27-2003, 05:08 PM

Where can I get a stepside model? I haven't been able to find them.

Andy4639 · 08-27-2003, 07:05 PM

If you are wondering where my yellow one came from. I built it out of the Jada diecast, and the model kit of a 55 step side truck. The bed is a 55, but it is as close as I could find.
This is how it started out.

Andy4639 · 08-27-2003, 07:10 PM

This is what it started as.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2003, 08:00 PM

Here is my new black /silver 72 with 24'' wheel's on it .. Can not lower it from stock or the hood will crash with the tire's..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2003, 08:03 PM

Yellow and white with 22'' wheel's I think?

mooneyes · 08-27-2003, 09:09 PM

where did you get the panel???

Andy4639 · 08-28-2003, 11:36 PM

I ordered it off of the net, I think from here. I'm not sure seeing it was about a year ago. Here is what it looked like when I bought it. The paint any way's. I had already put the wheels on it.
