I've got 2 ideas so far for this build. The first was mentioned in another thread but i'll disclose the info here as well. 1. Peterbilt Wrecker - The old AMT kit done up in blue and silver as a fleet wrecker. I'm going to build this truck as one that was used mostly in the late 70's and will be built mostly box stock boom and recovery-wise. I will be attempting my first detailing job for the suspension and engine though. Serial number of this truck will be 50001 after a 1975 unit. Wish me luck!!! 2. Peterbilt 378 - I will be taking the sleeper from the Italeri Pete 377 and mating it to the 378, or at least I'm hoping the sleepers will interchange. This will most likely be an Owner/Operator unit and will most likely be blue and silver. This is another truck that I will be attempting to detail extensively so I hope it all turns out ok. Serial number on this one will be 70001 after a 1997 Pete 378. Right now those are the two rigs I have planned. There may be more planned for the future but we'll see how time goes with these two unit. I am thinking of getting one of the Revell Kenworths that just came out and try to build that one to add to the fleet as well, but we'll see.

Or possibly a straight truck such as a flatbed or even a milk tanker or something along those lines...The possibilities are almost endless.
