Thanks guys!
@ David. I am very happy with the box indeed. At first I thought I needed to make a new one from scratch, but after taking a closer look I found out that half of it, or more, can be saved. Even the original step is there! I looked at your posts regarding the C8 over and over again and I am sure I will come up with questions when I start the restoration. @ Phil. I sure hope my girlfriend isn't reading this post  . By the way, your website is a great source for info! @ Andrew. Good luck with the one on Ebay! @ Arjan. Yes, I finally decided to join you guys in the MV world. @ Hanno. Yes, you should really come and get a beer when we've move house and when the Chev is at it's new home.  Alex

Alex, It shouldn't be too hard to change the sheetmetal on the box. That cast step is hard to find. The step under the rear of the box is a simple piece of bent up flat iron. It's the first style box too with the taillight on one side only and that rubber battery hold down strap by the endgate. Is that strap made of solid moulded rubber? It's the first one I've seen a picture of. It also has the early style non-adjustable mirror arms.

in a dumster???
Alex
Have you allredy given up an put your CMP in a dumpster??? Just kidding, the Leegwater sign on the side tells us for sure it is not garbage you have !! They do not sell that stuff! Or take garbage back! Welcome to the real world. And if your truck is going to ba as good as your models, it's going to be grate !! I do think of scaling down to 1/35 size, much easier to handle..  and then they all fit in my shed.Chers from Norway Rolf yep, I am still alive...

Hi guys,
Yes, last thursday was "D-day" for me. Dirk and Stefan made their way through traffic and we finished the last part of the deal. I am a happy man! Thanks Dirk and Stefan. @ Rolf. Good to hear from you. Yes, in a dumpster. I haven't heard from our new neighbours yet, but they probably think we're nuts. Thanks for the compliments on the scale models. This year will hopfully see the release of a series of CMP models and you can probably guess which type will be among them.... @ Hanno. We will be moving house in two weeks. You are definately welcome for a beer when the sun finally warms our small country. Alex p.s. No, that's not my work on the garage door!
