Wow Jeff, you are moving right along. Sorry the box didn't work, but I bet if you leave it on the bench you or the squirrels will come up with some ideas.

I will be following along Bill. Looking forward to seeing your modifications.

Thanks guys ! I had some downtime today and spent it at the bench. I have switched out the kit wheels for these, so it is up on all ten now. The engine is just mocked up. I also did a mockup using the Peterbilt sleeper...and no sleeper.

Just an overall look. Hoping to get a more custom truck when finished. Thanks everyone for the positive comments. It really helps to stay motivated. I thought I had a partial can and full can of the yellow, it turned out to be two partial cans....soooooooo I need to order a couple more cans. That is what happens when I think. Here is the chassis in its coat of yellow. This will be the last update for a few days. Anniversary is this weekend, so as they say, see you on the flip side.

That looks awesome!

Thanks for catching that. Funny how you can miss something like that when it's very late and all you want to do is get it assembled and go to bed. ?

This should be cool! Love custom trucks.

Looking great Al. ?

Great project, and glad to see the box being put to good use.

After having a great transaction with a fellow member, this huge squirrel slapped me up side the head and made me look. The results are this start. Chassis and engine are assembled and in the process of being primed. I actually (with the help of same member) lowered the chassis. We will see how that turns out. Looking at a green and yellow for color combo. Other mods will be revealed as I figure them out. ?

Really like what your doing with this. I live in logging country myself, and with a company yard close by, I have plenty of references. Hopefully I can get a couple built.

You could have the window and tailgate open as a unit, like a hatchback, if it would clear the bumper of course. You could still have the surfboard sticking out the window when the "hatch" was closed.

I almost forgot about this one Ray. You did a stellar job. Love how the colors came together, especially the seat inserts.

That turned out awesome! I should start another 1/8.

Nice combination. I have the 1/16 in the stash, so will be following along.

Love 59's, and your flat top is drop...dead...georgous !

That is really starting to shape up.

Beautiful build. Nice to see an old kit being built.

Nice find, and nice save.

That is beautiful.... I definitely see some things I will be steal...I mean "borrowing" for future builds.?

Thanks everyone, it was an enjoyable break from a normal build.

Pulling up the popcorn...two bags. Jeff, if you seal the molded in color body with silver paint, it won't bleed through.

Great paint! I really am looking forward to seeing how the chev and 53 ford turn out. Interesting color choices.

Looking sharp Tom.
