  1. You can never go wrong w a green leaker
  2. Very nice work ! The plus door and interior work are fantastic really stunned by the bench seat how you captured the pleats
  3. Looking good from here ! Love the frame stretch Definitely cant go wrong with a Hemi !
  4. Fantastic build and exceptional weathering , just enough to dirty things up yet completely serviceable
  5. Awesome build and man that color is perfect for that body !!The Zman wheels really set the truck off excellent choice
  6. Thanks vincen47 that's close to what I was thinking about, never dawned on me to check the RR sites . Thanks Ace for posting those also, either could be used for parts
  7. Hey builders and lurkers ..lol j/k need your help. I recall reading about scale appropriate perforated photoetch for steps and such but unsure where . I've tried the normal search function and gotten the usual results.. Thanks for any insite
  8. Awesome bike !!!! Man that's gonna work fantastic with your bronco
  9. That's the one ! Theres a photo at the museum showing the grill it had an 800 series number , but my buddy said they were working on several features before closing
  10. Awesome ! Hey John wasnt this truck unveiled at the SEMA show , they had a special on TV about it Cant wait to see you do your magic on it
  11. Sorry I missed the mention of the superliner..that frame will work just fine for your build since ..and I'll probably start a flaming war now...that truck was built in 1977, RUMORED to be the truck the workers at Brockway designed . Theres photos of the truck getting mocked up with different headlight and hood profiles at the plant. Several workers said they had seen it before closing down..and are VERY proud of what they accomplished. but anyway I'll get off the soap box and grab my asbestos suit now..that chassis would work for your intended build .
  12. If you wanted a road tractor , the reissued R model would even work. It doesn't even have to be a mack frame, anything would work . I have a freightliner coe saved for a 457 I fell for during the annual brockway homecoming show Once you start definitely post pics of the build we all love watching builds come together
  13. I asked my buddy a wealth of brockway Intel and serious mack lover about the buzzing dozen offered in 760 and 761 they weren't offered, only the 762 . The 760/761 mainly had the 8v71
  14. Ok I'll follow up on what jim mentioned. The 361 was offered w the 12v 71, and theres one currently in the museum on display. Heres a photo of that truck I took during our car show this year. Theres a great example of a 361 winch truck on aitm website showing what the cab can be turned into. It's a stunning replica of the Mountaineer owned by Tackaberry construction/hauling in Canada .This is the Mountaineer.. The photo also shows how the hoods opened, their a butterfly hood. The fenders are held closed ..they swing out..by a bolt in the back, and a pin in the front by the radiator grill. This allows easy access to the engine . To open the resin hood only requires careful cutting then adding support inside for it to rest on.. You could use mostly any available frame, many builders use the dm600 since the frames bowed out in front like the Mack's. I'm using a paystar 5000 frame for my newest Husky . Be aware some cabs wont come w cab mounts so those will need to be made or found in the parts box. Hope this helped
  15. Phenomenal work of art and dedication to see the model thru to the end !! Well done sir
  16. That's were I got the idea for this... I know I'd have bought one
  17. Awesome hinge work
  18. Good looking project I have my beverage handy watching
  19. Awesome work so far !! Seems like the elco' s are getting much attention lately very well deserved
  20. Hey there !!! I be stopping in for awhile doing some vendor shopping and checking out the builds . PM sent
  21. Now that's a nice truck cab fantastic to see someone produce a modern Mack cab for us...now how about a Granite !!!!
  22. Sorry to hear about your sister my family's prayers go out to you and your family also. Really appreciate your taking the time to post this build , itll help me when I start the GMC over the winter .
  23. Nice conversion Always great feeling filling that gap in a collection
  24. Very impressive work as always Alain!! The photos are so life like its amazing Dumb question time...wouldn't the outriggers be utilized for such a wide vehicle as the payhauler ? Most the over width loads passing thru my local have them extended , just curious please dont take as any form of criticism
