I'm calling it Ol' Skool. Removed 1/2" from the middle, lowered the front, Front tires are Pegasus and rear are from a die cast truck.    |

GREAT spin!! That's one of my favorite kits. Before it was reissued I made kits cut on a laser table.

What an awesome build! STUNNING! You've done a great job on this! I really like the modifications you've made, it looks incredible!
What kind of diecast truck were those tires and wheels from? I can think of a dozen uses for those right away - they're killer!

I made a limited run of repro original tires, the mold now lost per R2, years ago to go with my Yeller, Mixer and Cashbox kits I made. I am long out of the tires sets and my caster has quit. ![]()  |

I think I have one of your Cashbox kits here Dave - I'm guessing the Li'l series all used the same chassis and components, roughly?

When RC2 reissued Lil Gasser years ago.....they included many parts needed for Yeller and Mixer. But yes....all the Lil kits share chassis, engine etc. This Mixer was a conversion kit I made before it came back out  |
