Nice changes !

I'd love to find a dt466 for this! I have the Ford V8 assembled from the short hauler kit, w the auto transmission if I can't locate one. @Warren D thanks ! I've been pouring over auction pages looking at profile photos.. I have the hood mocked up,, just sitting on blocks until I can fashion up the hinges. I found a clear photo of a hood open showing an angled frame rail. Ill Sawzall mine and attempt to hinge this. The cab being used will donate its cowl to the build, its a resin IH Daniel sent w the hood

Been hearing rumors about Doug closing down shop, which is unfortunate. We've lost so many fantastic casters, hopefully someone like ST supply will pick up the AITM business

@TarheelRick- thanks! Glad you're following along with experience w the yellow bus! I nearly spit out my morning drink reading about the details I need to add @stitchdup- thanks for following @Gary Chastain glad to have ya along! it's going to be a marathon I expect @Warren D The bus he drove was a Thomas bodied bus. Thats the direction I'm going with this! Glad to have your experience along the way keeping me on track. @vincen47 thans for riding along! @Rockford thanks for your interest! I hope it wont take yrs to build lol, still a huge project from casting seats, and allll those windows

I stretched the frame an additional 4 1/2 inches , now its ready for a floor! A floor of 040 th sheet was laid down after notching the rear wheel openings. I used 2mm I beam for the floor supports, but need more. A few seats were mocked up and these didnt have any gum stuck underneath ! Jeff

My next project has plenty of seats for everyone to ride along, I'm building a replica of my late father in laws school bus he drove till retirement. The bus will be based on a mid 90s International 3800, 11 window conventional bus. It will accommodate 65 passengers, or 22 seats. I scoured the web for photos, knowing this would be a daunting task. This is a similar bus to my intended build The 1st challenge was locating a proper hood. Luckily a short message to Daniel, owner of Plaskit, provided a correct hood. Its a conversion hood for the S- series truck, and right era I needed. I couldn't believe I was this lucky..but knew a mountain laid ahead. I wanted a set of plans for this build. Theres was plenty available as downloads, so off to Staples for enlargements. A couple tries at matching the copies to the rear tire I brought along, and I was rewarded w suitable drawings. The frame being used is a stretched chassis from the Ford Short Hauler. I unfortunately can't recall who I purchased it from, and apologize! The drawings showed a 12 window bus, so I removed one after a quick measurement. My wife's uncle worked for a bus garage, and was invaluable getting the info for this. The bus needed to have a 254 inch wheelbase, after removing the window it was perfect.

A real show stopper ! Phenomenal work on your wrecker. The droop on the top looks so good and color faded

The one build I actually took finished photos of..

Wow outstanding work on every one of your builds ! I feel very envious, only finishing 2 trucks all yr lol

Good looking build ?

great work on your wrecker !

loved watching these fleet trucks come together stellar work! Can't wait to see what 2023 brings from your bench

nice start !! its always fun to take a detour for awhile building something different, keeps the building fun and refreshing Ive been working on a couple 1/350 modern warships, and just picked up a Nimitz aircraft carrier..havent decided which wall to knock down to make space yet

Excellent work

Beautiful work on your Tomcat !

Thanks , it was a fun project and definitely not my last twin steer build.

Well done Casey

Usually you'll just need to post photos under glass w BRBO in title. Makes it much easier finding them for poll Really enjoy watching this come together.

Looking good!! The choice of lattice boom arms is perfect for this workhorse

Looks good so far

Thats a tough looking Superliner nice work

beautiful paint work

All I see are photos of a real car..wheres the build pics ? Lol very detailed work, especially the convincing rust and grime

Nice start on the frame Following along on your build progress

You've been busy ! Outstanding work
