Hi Folks,

First off, aplogies to those who commented on this thread in the last year. Did not intend to take a whole year off but everything is fine now and am ready to get back to this one.

Working on the cab, building up the windshield frame, gutter and fixing up the roof. Have never been happy with the shape of the roof and it took some damage in storage. Will use a two part metal filler for repairs....

Hot dang!!! Randy's back and more than wanting to see this build continue, I'm glad to see you're OK and have not dropped off the edge of the earth.

The epic build continues with a new chapter.

Yippee! Welcome back Randy!

[Foxer]

Good to see you back to this piece of Art. I think I needed that year to calm and get my heartbeat back to normal after the incredible things I've seen here!

Yay! The train is moving again!!

[Ryan S.]

Awesome to see this one back. This is such amazing work.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

well, you BUILD models, I am a kit basher or assembler at best! LOL Great to watch your work unfold.

[Gluhead]

I know...humbling, right Mark?! I see this and I think "I have a LOT to learn yet!" The shaping of complex parts thing I get. It's the soldering that throws a monkey wrench in the whole thing for me. Amazing.

Great to hear that Randy is Okay and The Rat Rod Wrecker is Back in business! This build is absolutely one of the bests, I've ever seen, great to see an update. New windscreen looks amazing, Keep Up The Good Work!

EDIT: Now I'm looking forward to see an update in Viper Doorcar thread too.

Thanks Mark!

Chris, Thank you, with your skills you would be fine with the metal!

Hello Niko!! Thank you for the kind words, I will be getting back on the drag car also!

Hi David, thank you and I need to find and check your progress


update...

I have had a change in thinking as work resumed on this one. Going to go with a hot rod look as opposed to the rat rod that inspired me in the first place. I have been checking out reference pics of 1948 Diamond T trucks and decided to change.
Still going to keep the no front fender look and keep it low to the ground, just better looking paint


Some ref pics....
