1944 Autocar U-7144T

Looking forward to this -
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!

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 !

Foose Pickup (my take)
gotnitro? replied to ncbuckeye67's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
great color on your Foose Ford ! I'll parrot what Tom mentioned about the glass, mine clicked in so well, it was never glued. I've mis-handled that build more than any other, and the glass hasn't shifted. An extremely fun build to break up long projects. Doing a quick search here turned up tons of Foose builds, showing how many fall together -

Good looking cab! -
I airbrushed a few decanted coats of camel yellow over the Micro-mark rivet sheet, and allowed to dry overnight. After work, I cut them into strips and laid them down. I couldn't be happier how they turned out There's a few lights and mirrors to install, then wrap up the frame. The doors will be last
