Hi Jim, impressive work you have going on here.
Just one question, I know you said your friend got you the wheels and fenders, any idea where they came from? I would love them for my current project.
Cheers, Kane.

Hi Kane, first off thanks for the kind comment. 2nd I'm sorry it took me alittle while to reply back here to your question. 3rd I asked my friend Mark about the rims and where he got them at.. he said he got most of his stuff from KFS and also the rims. I hope that info helps you out with your project as well. I would also love to see the project of yours if you like to share some photos.

Okay, so now more fun kicks in.. lol
Yes that red wire is a piece of phone line wire, I had to pin this piece togother to the other piece as I am getting the hang of the homemade micro blow toruch I built and it's heat settings and I warmed the solder up to much and had a mishap. So I decided for this one was to use a pin wire to hold the piece togother before I added alot of solder to the two pieces.
I hope you all enjoyed this small update.

Here is a mock up like with the radiator frame in place as well
Now I need some of you all help on one area. I have afew photos here for ref of the front frame rails on a 1986 Mack Superliner but each photo shows the rails being different though. On a 1986 Mack Superliner, how does the front end of the frame look? I did my best at searching the net but couldn't find to much or photos of the front end of the frame at how they look and where they bend at. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance for any help on photos.
