Chuck Most Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 'Ere she is. Plan is to eventually hook up an AMT livestock trailer, at which point I'll add the trailer lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's a shame what you did to that truck, but it sure does look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermodel Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 so nice.I like the coffie can and missing door handle the most.Instead of a cattle hauler,how 'bout a car carrier with some of your way cool rat rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyg Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Great model! But I never want to see a real lonestar like that. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTEMIS1759 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I was just about to say it looks like a farmer from ND must have owned it then I saw the signage. They use more grain trailers then cattle trailers up this way though. Good Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks, guys! Now I've got to track down a trailer for it to tow.... and clear off a space on my shelf large enough for the completed tractor/trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Nice work there Chuck, looks very realistic! That engine could use a bit more grime and dirt, almost too clean compared to the rest of the truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Nice work there Chuck, looks very realistic! That engine could use a bit more grime and dirt, almost too clean compared to the rest of the truck! Um.... yeah. That engine is a refurbished unit, installed in 2026, when the original engine finally gave up the ghost. That's why it's a bit less grungy than you'd think. Yeah, let's go with that.
