Thank you to all that commented!!! It is really cool to read your comments :lol::lol:

A couple of replies..

Jeremy, No r/c , I just like the solder!

Danno, Sorry,the shifter does not move the linkage!

Fastback, Sorry, kinda slow going here :lol:

Erik, Tried to show more of the process this time...

Last update I ended with a mockup of the firewall, will continue with that and also the cab floor...

Mock up, using K & S Eng. copper and tin sheet stock. Both solder easy and are soft & easy to work with..

When I am soldering something together like this, it is easy if the parts are held together securely and all I have to do is apply heat. I work on a piece of Homosote building board. It is a pressed paper product. I like it 'cause it holds pins well and acts as a heat sink. A piece of ceiling tile would also work.

I am quitting building modelcars man.

I have seen some sick stuff over the years, models of whatever where I did not know if model or real, 1:9 Pocher stuff that some dude used to build a metal car, scratchbuilds of mchinery that makes you sick, cars that looked so real that i was sure somebody photographed ral vehicle, but this is just unbelivable. Blows my mind...
