  1. Phenomenal work Didn't think ya could outdo yourself after the paver..now that must feel like a practice run Tom !
  2. Possibly something changed their genetics since this depot stored nuclear munitions in several bunkers. A quick read says the white deer herd are Leucistic, a genetic anomaly causing the hair to grow without its brown pigment, but retain their brown or gray eyes! They actually have public tours now to show the herd.
  3. If anyone else is from upstate NY like me, then hearing about white deer is common around Seneca Army Depot. Theres tons of them running around the fields at this closed down military installation. We camped nearby at a state park yrs ago and fondly recall seeing them
  4. Excellent work Love the details, including the tire chains and snow.
  5. Outstanding work Really like the open door you added, adds another dimension to the build
  6. Really like that combo together, especially with your trailer plans
  7. If ya can't locate any let me know, I have quite a bit left over Yeah brain fart on your 758 fleet truck lol
  8. Nice start! If you decide to use the dirty engine which looks really good, something worth trying is removing some of the crud w a brush and appropriate thinner based on your paint. That way you can move around the dirt leaving it right where ya want
  9. Really nice work ! The Mach had quite the legacy , we bought a 2003 last spring
  10. Your finally adding a working truck to your fleet lol ! Looking forward to your build. Theres a lime green and white Husky tractor on display during the homecoming show, its a great combo. Wish I kept the picture of it displayed at the museum The wire mesh grill can be sourced from Wire form mesh available at hobby lobby. Its the same type Dave sold w his cabs.
  11. Much much better ! If you still wanted a driven front axle send Gary Wallace an email he can hook you up! He also sells transfer cases Gwtrucks@yahoo.com
  12. I added a montone dump box to the back of my diamond reo from the autocar. Ill post a couple photos once I find which tote its packed away in
  13. Everything looks good but one area imo. The tall wall on the wrecker bed doesn't flow for me w the cab. I'd probably remove some height out of it to just below the cabs body line , just to balance the overall look Love the heavy duty driveline though Looking forward to your build
  14. No side wing on this build only because it won't fit in my display Thanks ! Really enjoy making an autocar look unique. It needs a coat of sealer then the fun can begin
  15. My buddy Tim Sherman casts an IH Workstar cab , but its a day cab not the crew cab like your photo..I have one in the stash!
  16. Today I painted the entire set of chains and hung them. Giving them a rub of gunmetal powder after tamiya primer gave a nice flash rusted sheen to them. I still need to add side boards, plow chains and then weather it up
  17. Turned out fantastic Tom !
  18. Killer build , right on adding the lift axle. That trailer is coming along sweet!
