You've been an encouragement during this entire build!! I'm a sucker for steel wheels too. Of course, I almost put spokes on it all the way around speaking of steel wheels.

Kenny B Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Very nice job Brian. The front bumper looks to thin. I have followed your build as it went along what a wonder build.It looks like it would be real nice to cruse around in. Love the detail. Well done.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Very coolImpressive model. Real nice detail also...Thanks guys!!DUDE !!!! That is one nice looking rig....Very well done....Almost resto mod style.....AWESOME !!!!!Thanks JT! Great builders like yourself have been an inspiration to me. VERY NICE!!Thanks for the kind words!Very nice job Brian. The front bumper looks to thin. I have followed your build as it went along what a wonder build.It looks like it would be real nice to cruse around in. Love the detail. Well done. Thanks Ken!! That means a lot coming from a great builder such as yourself. Your interior work inspired me. The bumper is too thin. My thicker bumper interfered with the cab tilting and I couldn't make a brake on the thinner one that I was satisfied with. I may or may not change it later. Thanks again to everyone!!

GearUpJammer Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Wow Brian,that Mack is awesome!A very original and artistic build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Wow, I didnt realize this was under glass already. Brian, what a superb build man. This truck is flawless. The body work on the cab, and that black paint look like glass. There are so many things that set it apart. The stacks, the dual Farrs, the wood deck, the sunvisor,are just a few of my favorite details. I wish this was a real rig! Excellent, super, amazing work man. I would put this truck in front of a spread axle flatbed, or a black and green 53' van. I know its going in a display case, and you probably dont have room for all of that, but it would look great.

Not to mention your inspiring builds! It definitely has flaws though. I was thinking that a flatbed may need to be in its future though.Congratulations Driptroit,you should take a bow on this one,it looks great,you,re hard work has really paid off.Thanks Andrew! I always enjoy your builds here and over on Hank's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
