gotnitro?

Thank you I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks , I didn't want to let ya down this late in the game lol Thanks! I tried the flashing metal, but it didn't shape as clean. I should've annealed the brass before making the curves easier

@Mopar - D- your anti - glare light covers are finished! I curled up a few scraps of brass etch for the light covers . While I was working on the front, I started building a set of wipers. Thanks for following along

Great looking period correct wrecker Too bad to hear about the tamiya tape bleeding problems, hope ya find something better

Hehehe you implied correctly! I've been slacking off..caught daughters head cold the last few days..can't fab parts w this cough. Dr hooked me up w proper meds..won't be long Yep

Amazing display! I keep looking over the photos trying to pick out items I'd recognize where ya sourced em from..like Easter eggs lol

Many , not all, of the Brockways I peeked into during their annual homecoming show in Cortland, had a light green interior. There of course were several redone in a variety of colors..ya can't go wrong ! It's always enjoyable checking out the trucks being restored, that the owners were able to get road worthy. Not a cabver, but still a special truck that made an appearance a few yrs ago

Remarkable work! Really like these boxy tractors

I was toying idea of the stop sign, but after chatting w my Uncle, their buses didn't have them till a few yrs later. I might add one anyway..hehehe

Nice work so far ! The hard suction hoses look excellent

Really enjoy following your detailed build ! Glad to see your success tinting the windows, I've tried in the past and ended up w a foggy finish. Keep up the great work

I heard Daniel was working up the molds this week ! Our truck/ equipment builders will have another engine option. This wouldn't have been possible without the kindness of our member Tom Decker aka @redneckrigger offering his support. Thanks ..I keep finding other things to add @Mopar - D- thanks so much. I told my in laws the bus needs its own shelf..so now I get to hang one lol

Progress on the bus..3d printed steps I purchased from moluminum and wrapped up the mirrors down to the last bits till I shelve it awhile. The DT466 engine I wanted is being cast by a fellow modeler, and once its done I'll wrap this up

Excellent work on the rivets and smaller details

Nice rolling chassis so far

Looking forward to this

I had planned to use brass rod which would be easier. I had the plastic rod on hand Thats why they sell glue..for those accidents Thanks..I was already warned this was going on in laws fireplace mantle when its finished

Thanks Steve ! I was trying to keep everything to scale by doing them w rod. I mocked up a white metal set first, but didn't care for the look. I found a set of ultra rare mirrors w mounts w the right curvature for the 2 part side mirrors I wanted to replicate. They probably came from an Ollie's 4300 kit.. I removed the molded on mounts, sanded the back smooth, then cut them about 1/4" wide. Each side gets 2 heads. Heres the real deal How they began... After the chopper.. I need to replace one edge after chopping them, probably a strip of square rod will work. Thanks for riding along!

Excellent work

Fantastic work so far !

Looking good ?

I fabbed up a pair of west coast style mirror mounts today! After looking over several kit mirrors, aka telephone poles, I grabbed some evergreen rod and got busy bending. I chose 030" rod for a scale appearance. Meng bolts finish off the mounts. Surprisingly it went fairly quick, after a couple snapped bends. Tomorrow I'll tackle the actual mirror heads, and blind spot mirrors on the hood . Thanks to everyone following along !

nice looking cabs, just found ya on FB

good looking build ! Too bad your not keeping it for your collection, but the new owner will definitely love it

well done on your KW alaskan hauler
