  1. Very nice work love the green w gold very classy . Good to hear time settled down the carrier film Keep up the great build
  2. Thanks I appreciate the feedback ! Yeah that etch grill really looked sharp. Hardest part using the etch grill was attaching the hinges in correct spot since the holes were molded into plastic grille. It would take serious surgery to remove this one now. I made a spacer for the other ones before I found my alignment issues Maybe on the next one haha
  3. Awesome work, seriously amazing details on such a small scale The wood deck really looks aged like how you captured the separate boards
  4. Well..its resolved. I ended up mocking up a spare chassis and everything dropped in perfect. Guess I tweaked the first chassis assembling it . Now a few more parts to install and the new frame will be ready for paint ! My buddy tbill hooked me up with a few pics of a properly assembled truck, and I spotted my firewall wasnt tight against the cowl, a quick tweak had that sorted out ! Thanks tbill And its sitting level on all the mounts now too bad I ruined the etch grill screwing with the other frame
  5. Looking really good Idea of trailer hitch sounds cool
  6. Well I hit a major issue...after mounting everything up , my cab and hood are seriously crooked. I noticed an issue after installing the hood w the etch grill..thinking it was my hinges I swapped the grill for the kit one..it didnt help I popped the cab off the mounts , installed hood then remounted cab..now its sitting like this. the hoods in the holes , no idea why it's so wacky ..but decided I better revisit this project after cooling down. I really considered myself a dog person..but lately I'm not sure..glad our Lab is loyal lol Any suggestions to fix it are welcome , I think it's the new frame rails made from the same tree lowes lumber comes from lol I might try using an older frame and drop the cab on it
  7. Very nice love watching your builds progress
  8. That looks fantastic awesome work on those stripes !
  9. Gorgeous heavy duty tire combo, I suspect Jamie will have a tough time keeping these in stock..truck builders always love something different to set their builds apart
  10. Thanks everyone! How about a hood pic..I used the detail master pe grill set to replace the kit blob they sell as a grill all the emblems are glued w future Thanks for following along
  11. Flying thru this one ! Cant wait to see it
  12. You've nailed the sleeper now This is turning into a nice looking build
  13. Small update ..I have a roller ! The body parts are only mocked up checking alignment.. just visable behind the fuel tank is the blower drive sticking thru its mount.
  14. Better strap that load down driver , dont want the NYDOT fining ya for an unsecured load lol Looks great in the color
  15. Didnt happen without pics ! Lol Glad ya kept plugging away at this unique build
  16. Very cool second trailer , good idea for load ! Saw a trailer yesterday full of golf carts cruising thru ithaca ..right down your alley !
  17. Thanks for following along I'll be getting back to the tanker this wknd, the 2nd primer coat is dry. I wanted a very smooth finish..you've seen the tank so its required a few coats to smooth
  18. I'll try Tom..ya know me all its takes is a pic and
