HeavyGunner Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Looks really sharp. So is my understanding correct that this will be a limited edition truck available to the public?

Amos V. Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Looks great Dan !!! "Martin" would be proud !!!!!!! Do you plan on installing the hood ornament? OR..... Just a thought...... Since we are kinda going in a new direction here.. Will you be casting your very own "REBORN" slightly similar version for the hood of this outstanding build??? Just a thought..

Coenut Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 That is sharp. The air dam and rain cap are classic. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58033-2019-rubber-duck-truck-reborn/page/2/#findComment-438534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post convoyduel Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 Graphics applied. Still have to paint the air cleaners and battery box and swap the muffler for a polished stainless muffler. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58033-2019-rubber-duck-truck-reborn/page/2/#findComment-440359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos V. Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 LOOKING GREAT Dan!!!! Are you powder coating the air cleaners and battery boxes? Love the blacked out Duck on the hood too. Are you doing the longer Grover air horns??

convoyduel Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 We are painting them. Air horns are in the works as well but we may stay with longer round Hadley’s because of the mounting differences. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58033-2019-rubber-duck-truck-reborn/page/2/#findComment-440458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Looking good Dan. It definitely has the RD vibe. Agree, the deflector and rain cap are spot on.

Amos V. Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 AWESOME!!! Great GoGo+ package.. Great pics too!!! Well, I guess I have to start buying up as many 1/24 scale Western Star model kits as I can to build this now. LOL.. I need some advice on my project too if you don't mind me asking. I'll PM you if you have time. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58033-2019-rubber-duck-truck-reborn/page/2/#findComment-441720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskymack Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Martin Penwold would have to be in his 80's by now! (At least Kris Kristofferson is 83). Maybe one or both of those kids living up up in Spokane has taken up the mantle! It's a great project though and is really looking good. It's still instantly recognisable to us Convoy fans and I don't know that the Duck would have had brand loyalty because when we first met him in song I seem to remember he was driving a Kenworth. Personally I'd have imagined him moving on to a first generation Superliner which he'd have driven throughout the 1980's before replacing this with one of the last Superliners which would have seen him through to retirement! Looking forward to seeing it all finished and the new website as well. I really miss the old one.

Even shunted a police car by the look of the bent bull bar! Is this the truck that was rebuilt from an old Flintstone some years back?
