gotnitro?

Okay, I need some help...I'm stumped for ideas to hinge the hood . I thought using a tube across frame, w paper clip hinges would work. Theres not room for hood to open w frame. Heres what I have right now.. Thanks I'm getting past annoyed

Interesting build to follow w all the information about plow trucks, most of us never realize when they pass . The details blow my mind, thanks for posting your work

Incredible work

Plaskit has them, and multiple color options. Hes going to be on vacation for a stretch soon, in case you were hoping to order one.

Awesome work on the under lift ! Those printed parts look fantastic also

Definitely would suggest one ! I've always been pleased w Daniels castings.

I was tempted to use red, but looking over my display I noticed a trend lol. Tamiya mica red seems to be a favorite of mine

Good point! I'll probably use the spare white cab I have to avoid issues

Good looking tires right there ! Where did you get your Hendrickson lift axle from ? Sounds like both our orders left Paul's at the same time, mine got snowed in in Syracuse after our last batch of weather. I'm about 45 minutes south, and barely a dusting..they had several feet over the wknd

I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to tape everything up for a mock up. I was impressed how different the longer hood made the Ford appear..now I know I'm on the right track. While I had everything together I decided to try out my new airbrush, a Gaahleri swallowtail. Priming a few cursory plastic spoons, followed up w scale finishes safely lime yellow. Just the color I was hoping for Jeff

Your mirrors look fantastic, brass rod scales much better than kit parts..aka utility poles

You've gotta bring this beast to Spring Thaw again, always enjoy chatting builds w ya

Thats a sweet looking red ! Looking forward to seeing some color on this, always liked the Granite appearance cabs

Good looking bulldog! Good to see it getting a second life

Fantastic color !

Thats a sharp looking combo!

Nice progress so far !

Fantastic work! Having fun building a custom truck keeps the mojo flowing

My hood from Plaskit arrived today, beautifully cast as norm. I'll need to score the panel line for the grill surround before painting. Now to get back to working on this before the squirrels find something else

What brand mold release do you recommend

Gary , you have this Acar dialed in !

Love the proposed paint scheme by the way, I hit submit too fast lol

Archer closed up shop I heard, but I used a different brand for my school bus..and was very happy. I'll check tomo the brand, but it seems like micromark sold them, in a large sheet

Incredible details, love following your build

Thanks Dom ! I'll check it out
