Nice work so far looking forward to future updates

Thanks for the feedback ! I appreciate the comments

just a teaser pic of the finished build, my Brockway 361 loosely based off the Tackaberry "Mountaineer" Living just over the hill from the plant, I knew eventually I d add one to my collection. The major details are on my WIP.. I wonder how many truckers saw this view behind them...

Thanks everyone for the comments along this build, I enjoyed every minute of the project. I'm happy to mention its officially FINISHED !! Today was its first public display and everyone seemed to enjoy it. enough gab..enjoy the wrap up. I'll add it to under glass later after I can take better pics special thanks to superpeterbilt for sending me the resin emblems, they worked perfectly on the scratchbuilt mud flaps . see for yourself ! I attached em w plain old future. the weights are strips of bmf you can just see my trademark valve stems peeking thru on the rear tire Drone view .. that's it !

A huge thank you to all those on the sping thaw crew for hosting another fantastic show !!!the weather was good this yr, vendors were wall to wall, and the models filled the tables...even overfilled !! Another great show !! See ya next yr at the new venue

Outstanding work

You definitely did a fantastic job on your wrecker it looks great in person !

Looks fantastic everything looks spot on !

Thanks everyone! Finding time to work on it has been scarce..too busy clearing snow

Looking good w flames

glad you were able to find It ! The recovery trucks are always fun to build

looks good ! great idea adding the northeast treatment they're not all trailer queens gleaming in chrome

I finally found a few minutes for an update..but before I get to the Brockway I wanted to show a pic of how big our little girl has gotten since the beginning of the project ! She's closing in on 10 months, and been giving the pets a serious game of chase the baby!! ok back to the plastic I gave the engine a light wash of engine grime pigments to give it a few road miles cause these trucks actually worked ! I'll dust the exhaust once more w rust powder before closing it up. The rear fenders were hung for good after grinding tons of resin from underneath..arggg. I used a set of dm 800 hangers for them The one part I was putting off was the curved "glass" windshield panels, but turned out much easier than I expected .Everything was secured w white glue then a coat of future to seal them in and hide any fine blemishes. One more test fit before installing the interior and bolting down the cab ! I fabbed up the exhaust pipes from 1/8 rod and robbed a stack from the autocar . everythings waiting for chrome now

Awesome progress of an iconic vehicle! I'm shocked there hasn't been one available yet from the injection molded kits . The finer details really look fantastic

That's a sweet paint job on top of the fiberglass cab wow that's all I can say !

Awesome work

Thanks I really appreciate the comments it helps keeping the drive going ! The cabs in clear, hopefully tonite I'll get a full mockup done . I'll say the quick test I did really floored me how appropriate the color looked ! Stay tuned

Thanks I really appreciate the comments ! I ran out of clear just before committing to the cab, call it good luck ! Luckily the lhs had a can .

Awesome work Sam ! Love the corn too

looks good !

We have a paint job !!!! enjoy the pics ! I picked up a set of diamond plate fenders from AITM, absolutely pleased how they look . I actually cut one in half , making quarter fenders keeping the theme going. A quick coat of deep gloss black. any comments welcome !!

Mighty nice ! Looks perfect in front of the 53 ft'er

lol I knew you'd appreciate the yellow cab !! I almost went red ,but the yellow works really well on it. My biggest concern is keeping it from looking like a bumblebee!

LOL the ones Ive seen where an older cab he used to have, knew hes been working on thinning them up . One Brockway comes to mind that a local builder built and he would attend shows carrying a large zip bag half full of resin he removed from the bodies..

Thanks Gator and Terry ! I'm very pleased how this build is going, just trying to pay tribute to a local truck built nearby !
