Well done Dave and your team, keep up the good work. This forum continues to be the best in the hobby!

Thanks all for the great comments. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of unprecedented business at my gun shop, which leaves me with about negative 3 energy and time/drive/desire to do any building. Also just had a great friend pass and we bought his 500 gun collection, which has consumed our whole staff for the last two months. So...................have tried to get some work done, but am spinning my wheels. BUT.............I AM enjoying watching all of the great work being done by all of my friends on this forum. Hopefully, one day soon, will get back to the bench...............and STAY there1

It is based upon the Fall Guy bed, and is 1/25th scale.

Kris Morgan makes a superb resin long bed.....................have used several myself to GREAT results. Morgan Automotive Detail - Source for your Resin Cast Automotive Model Deatils (madmodeling.com)

Finally found a few minutes to get to the bench and work on this project that has been stalled for way too long. My shop is going crazy, teaching a couple nights each week, and life in general have conspired along with a case of builders block to bring this to a screeching halt. But, MAYBE, this kick start will get it going again. Anyways, just a little, but straightened the grille, and made the engine enclosure up for the carrier. Now working on the hinges. This was always going to be a huge involved time consuming build. Hoping that at least now I can keep it going!

Great to see this one start, Charlie. I am still following every post you make, while not being able to devote any time to my own building. BUT, your projects are sustaining me! Keep those posts coming!

That is stunning work, Charles. WOW!

Perfect weathering! This is an outstanding build of what was a VERY commonly seen rig not all THAT long ago!

Extremely nice work!!!! Great color combo, and details!

Learned how to drive in a 1962 Willys station wagon, 3 speed stick, 4x4, with the Hurricane 6 engine. Did a few spin and stalls while learning the clutch, but having learned the clutch way back in 1968, it is a skill that has stayed with me ever since, and one I currently enjoy every day in my Corvette and Mustang GT. Wouldn't have it any other way!

Wow! That is beautiful, and I love all the little story lines occurring throughout it! FANTASTIC!

That is absolutely perfect, Charlie. The details you are able to include are nothing short of amazing!

Outstanding issue! Glad to see it and can't wait for more. Keep up the great work!

My bad on describing it as "competitive juices"....................perhaps it should be better described as " efforts to fulfill the desire to share builds with others and display them"? I have gone to many NNL's all the way back to the 80's. We all take great joy in our builds and love to share them with others. Contests, and NNL type events allow us to do this. Covid has taken that away..................hopefully we will be able to do so with these type of events. The reward comes with the sharing of the efforts one has put into a unique build, not in prizes.
