The Brush Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Hi, I saw this Mack parked in an industrial estate back in the 80`s , Because aftermarket cabs were thin on the ground then, I made a master for the cab in plaster of paris then made a mould & cast the cab in fibreglass with some extra work i came up with a shell to work with. The frame is a reworked diamond reo I added the aussie type bull made from plastic card & stone guard form brass strip & mesh, lots of parts from the spares box. Sprayed with cellulose & the lines with enamel This was built about 1989. I often thought of a rebuild adding mack wheels & the correct smaller radiator guard... Nothing has happened yet. So maybe not. The real truck is now with an american circus over here. Thanks for looking Graham.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Well I'm impressed. First you made a master in plaster, then after casting it in fiberglass you came up with this great looking model. I've worked with fiberglass cabs before, it is hard as a brick. Top notch work!!
