  1. Looks like a great build !!
  2. Outstanding conversion ! did you scratch build the grill /hood yourself ?it really compliments this truck
  3. I just dug thru my truck sheets and found the instructions that are included. it's a simple drawing showing where the parts go. the larger parts take place of the kit parts
  4. Just speechless on all your details on the engine !
  5. Thanks Jim ! I passed a K100 aerodyne today pulling a 53' great dane coming out of Auburn
  6. Looks fantastic ! Those spokes your designed fit perfectly on this truck too! very classy for a classic truck
  7. Very nice so far ! I am building an Autocar wrecker using the same kit ! The flat black acts like a pre shade works perfect under top coat
  8. I'm first !!! great choice of names for the truck a thon lol! What's on the bench ? well being just over the hill from Huskytown USA it's gonna be the Brockway 361 !! I can hear the screaming jimmy already
  9. Looks awesome so far!! if ya had plans to cast this, I can see guys here beating your door down for a copy !!
  10. If I'm not mistaken the 360 cab would be your preferred option for the 12v. it has the longer hood suitable for the huge engine. I thought they called them U360 . I've seen many builders use the current western star, and even a IH paystar for the donor chsssis. add your favorite fuel tanks and tool boxes and your on your way. I scored a dirt cheap glue bomb R model Mack on ebay a few months ago.and its being used for the 361 but your looking for current kits Jeff
  11. Great choice Kurt ! The 358 is one of my favorites , have you chosen the paint yet I just picked up the 361 ! Looks like we're bringing the Husky back to NY !!
  12. Very clean work ! Looks fantastic so far
  13. Yes right along the grill, but dry fit first because mine didn't need the shim
  14. It was pointed out when.I purchased mine from gary , the need to add a thin strip of styrene alone the edge of the grill she'll due to some resin shrinkage. he said it was minimal, adding .015 "would be good. mine didn't need the addition , but a few did. The parts are beautifully cast and really makes the truck look more aggressive Jeff
  15. Your really rocking this one !looking good
  16. Outstanding work, you nailed the look perfect
  17. The 12v71 had the option of turbo or non turbo, just found that interesting researching a brockway truck build
  18. Count me in !!perfect reason to build that Transtar eagle
  19. I'm swinging by to stock up for the winter build season and visit w some familiar faces ! The weather won't keep me away from the 25th anniversary show !! Can't wait to see everyone again
  20. Wow I'm speechless! Very cool project, the fit of the parts looks very well done! I could see that in a dio w a payhauler loaded down!
  21. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look at that option! I appreciate everyone's feedback Keep building ! Jeff
  22. Hey, I've seen these pics before lol ! Looks awesome perfect spot for that D8 dozer to call home!
  23. Looks great! Nice details by adding the decals to the engine and frame, something I really need to remember
