Looks like a fantastic project

Cant wait to see more !

Great choice Jim ! These IH trucks really fit together well and look killer when complete. Really like your paint scheme it looks very classic I spied a Brockway lurking in the background too nice truck

Really looking forward to your build , the box art is sharp . Hmm..car hauler ..loaded with...? You really want to give Chris a stroke dont you lol

Wow Dan that's gonna be a great project, really looking forward to your progress Did you pickup the heavy duty front springs from Dave also ? Those KFS parts look great, knowing Howard their top notch

The engine should probably be an Eco-Dyne , which doesn't look significantly different . Looks like instead of gold it's more gray, please correct me if that's wrong I may drop a set of Gary Wallaces SOS Drive tires on this..my kit rubber doesn't look very good.

Jimb- I just looked ...and it has BOTH ! Neither are chromed looks more like a vocational truck this reissue . I'll use the updated rounds for this build since the company I'm building it as had late 80 early 90 Mack's. The etch grill came from Detail Master and looks fantastic.

Haha Haha I do have a trend of changing parts mid build..ok I'll leave the kit engine in this one no Detroit lol Noticed this box art has spokes , where the one I received from tbill in a trade has really nice Alcoa wheels..hmm kitbash

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!
