Hi I made this modified by grafting a model motoring '55 chevy roof that has been sectioned lenghtwise and widthwise to a '56 fairlane convertible Ive been casting for a few years.this body had bumpers that i dremeled off,I should have taken the side trim off as well,I will add a b-pillar to the next one.this is a fun use for flawed castings.

Those are some cool looking round trackers :thumbsup::thumbsup: I guess I need to go with that #55 as a favorite to win, must be the color package, although I'm kinda liking ol' #23!!!...RM

thank you all,they were fun to make and a good use of bodies with flaws.I did trade them off too the seller that has them on ebay,I considered them as practice the next will be better.I am planning on making molds of the '56 ford,'50 olds,'53 chevy and possibly a few others,if there is any interest I can offer some in the sale section.thank you gilbwrench your blue '57 ford modified really inspired me.slotcarman the truck cab was a lindy ryder truck,I need to find a second one since I misplaced the glass.
regards, greg

U-Joe,

You just gave me a flashback...bam. Several years ago I picked up a large lot of Ryder Mini Lindy trucks and never did anything with them. Figured originaly to make a Ryder Rental center but, that fell through...doh

Anywhoos I don't remember the exact way I sold them but, think they got posted up Evil Kneivel lined up style in the picture with a motor cycle in the picture. That was my selling point of sale...RALMAO...should have kept all my Mini Lindys but, they are all dust in the wind now except for a few clunkers that are hanging around for that someday.

Yeah that ramp truck is tough and very neat-0ooooooooooh gREG!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

Bob...Memories of the way we were (I'm still wacked in the head...lol)...zilla

I have the remains of one ryder truck here. Unfortunately, the glass was swiped by one of my pesky griffles, and is nowhere to be found. As for the rest of it, well it don't look anything like it did. RIP little ryder truck.. :cry:
