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

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 -
