We don't just pull the kits off the shelf and sell them to you. Matt has  long been an antique truck and car  "nut." His dad was involved in the trucking industry for many  years.  He knows the vehicles, where they ran, the time frame they ran in,  and what the trucks  hauled. He has the knowledge to get an accurate vehicle on your layout. We are happy to answer your questions.  From time to time we will offer kit bashing how- tos on available models.
