Thank you Kerry for the comment. No she's not in the medical field one of the nursing homes was in of masks so she's been sewing them sense last week , I think she has sewed at least a couple hundred of them so far . I did a little more work on the General , putting the front springs on was a big pain the instructions are very veg on the location and there is no pins or holes , I just did a quick mock up and eye balled it . Be safe out there. mark

It's been a while with all the crazy stuff going on everywhere , my wife took over the garage to sew face masks for the local nursing home , I was unable to do any painting, until late last night . Thanks for all the great comments . Be safe . Mark

Sense the wife took over the garage making face masks , I'm not allowed to paint anything so the BRBO Kenworth has to wait for a little while , in the mean time I was playing around with the GMC General I pickup before the hobby store shut down , I swapped out the Detroit with a Cummins from a Revell Peterbilt , had to modify the fire wall and make new engine mounts ,other than that it fit pretty good . Be safe Mark

Thank you all for the comments. It's been a while since I got some good bench time , got the air lines all ran on the rear end , the stack uprights are on and the pipe work is almost done , also added some bolt detail on the frame, and added a cab jack pump .

I think I’ll build it as the dump truck , I built a tractor vision years ago . I would like to get Indiana state highway decals for it.

Got mine yesterday .

Great looking rig .

fantastic what a great build .

Very nice , awesome build

Thank you all for the kind word's . Didn't get much bench time this weekend , I did manage to get a lift cylinder and safety support made, its kind of a generic set up but it works. Thanks for looking . Mark

Good looking truck .

Nice truck I'll be watching.

Jeff, thank you , I wish they would too. Vince , thank you for the comment .

Its a great feeling to get comments form some the best model builders on this forum , THANK YOU !! Today I thought I would try my hand at make a steerable front axle , everything was going good till I broke one of the lower arms off , luckily I had another axle, it come out pretty good I have temporarily pin together . also got the engine and trans. done just have some filter decals . the rear suspension is assembled and the truck is setting on its wheels . Thanks for looking . Mark

KJ, "CONGRATS" on the baby , I for one don't ever get tired of see your KW's.they are inspiration for me to step my game up .

That’s a cool project , I’m doing good to see the 1/25 parts let along see those tiny parts LOL.

This is going to be a good looking Mack

Thank you for the comments guys . Got the frame built and the rear axles mounted , I swaped out the Allison transmission and replaced with Road Ranger and shorting the drive shaft. I had a slight brain fart today when I mounted the fuel tank brackets, when I mounted them they were to far forward the left tank was fine but the right tank was about an 1/8" into were the battery box is to mount , I ended up cutting the tanks and shorting them just a little bit. I think they look better shortened up ( see the last 2 pictures ) thanks for looking .

I really like those Aussie trucks , I will be watching this build .

This is going to a nice build , I'll be watching.

Looking good , I like the square head lights.

Can't wait to see how this will turn out , your truck are always awesome .

Looks like your off to a good start .

This is going to be a nice rebuild .
