Heres my intended build for the 2019 build off the venerable Mack R model Only thing I plan on changing is the grill to the newer style , and just received the gorgeous decals specifically printed for this build from Diecast and Decals . Once finished its tasked w hauling the dry bulk tanker I'm currently working on.. See ya on 1 February 2019 !

Moluminum sells those longer type shown right now in rubber, I've used them several times. The other type would be interesting for hoods though

Awesome work Tom and well done on the logo, it should match prostar very well Any plans of dirtying it up some to show a day 2 trailer

Looking good Jim ! Good color choice too

Looking good Tom ! Thanks Jim B for pic that's what I was referring to

Looking forward to your restoration The fire service theme looks fantastic too

Looks good Jim

Good use of detergent and cat chow Saw a trailer today w what appeared to be an air scoop underneath before the tandems , tried for a pic but it started moving

Looking forward to watching this come together !

Prime portal is a treasure trove of info !

Stunning detail

Unbelievable you've even made the wheels awesome work

Very nice sled dog doing what they were built for The frame was painted with testors guard red enamel then dull coated so you know what's used.

Wow looks like a good turnout for this years BRBO !! Very nice of Dave Natale to offer a prize for the winner too ! Really hoping to have my pneumatic dry bulk trailer finished by the time we kick this off..the Mack is tasked w hauling it !

Thanks Tom I needed a laugh, I'm in tears after reading this..

Very interesting project , easily one of my favorite Oshkosh trucks !! I'm definitely following along,

Definitely looking forward to watching everyone builds come together!

Brad - thank you !!!! Looks like shifting the fan, dropping the radiator into the frame rails more will definitely allow enough clearance for the cab ! I appreciate everyone's help that's what makes this forum great I owe everyone

Thanks for the images Brian its definitely a tight fit ! Hacking the doghouse is not option wont be any floor left I'll try tweaking rad tank and fan

This is where radiator would need to be mounted to clear floor..ridiculous... Any tips ?

Thanks for the comments ! I hit major snag getting cab interior to clear radiator. The engine sits as low as I can fit it, making radiator fit good w fan, but closing cab causes interior to contact doghouse...short of cutting a huge amount of it away I'm totally stumped.. Any advice greatly welcomed

Lol I thought that special shade of red looked familiar!! Glad your giving it a home especially under a Husky

Very cool project , really looks good w the water tank behind it !

Sign me up ! Mack R model here unless the squirrels get back into the house ...

Nice build and awesome low boy
