Jim B - nah you've got this ! Best part of model building is making something unique and learning skills rarely used imo Losing the air bag suspension was a good option

Mine just came out of soapy bath and mild scub w comet . Gets the resin nice for primer before construction begins !

Gorgeous concept Kerry Love the paint

Gotta love when plans come together ! Thats a technique I really should employ , much better working from plans instead of crude quesstimation

Nice start w a clean slate !

Looking forward to your build, glad we could help knock the rust off too !

Great choice in wheels , cant go wrong w spokes ! You mentioned your planning to have this Mack pulling a moving trailer too..very cool

Looks perfect!

Man thats coming along nice ! Perfect choice for tires too major upgrade from stock

Glad to help out !

I'm painting indoors w a vented booth, and have occasional issues w blushing after squirting lacquer paints . Your mustang collection is cool ! This ones gonna be a showstopper in orange

Nice looking model ! Always in awe thats how truck drivelines started w giant chains and sprockets.

Fantastic scratchbuilding, love all those details layered on the parts Looking at the renderings as drawings really helps fabricate these cool trailers

Wow Tom that steerable front end is fantastic! The engineering alone is mind blowing and then make everything function..applause

Fantastic truck ! I'll be watching

Here ya go The legs are telescopic square tube 2 1 / 8 overall length. Each section is 1 1/8 long inner one closest to truck was 3 /16 tube outer 1/8 The towbar tube body is 1 5/8 long The middle tube is .305 tube 7/16" long Outer tubes .248 " 5/8" long The rectangular section where legs join tow bar is 3/4 long x 3 /16" it was photoetch Underneath was a small shaped piece looked like T pinning both sections of legs . Real ones this allows legs to extend . Here's how KFS wanted them attached to bed body Hope this helps !

You can build any number only one will be used for vote which will be your 4300

Hey Pat I can take some off my autocar wrecker this afternoon and close ups if that would help

I prefer using a PE saw for cutting resin, several companies make them . Mine fit right into a standard hobby knife handle

Scale hobbyist excellent service and fast shipping

Ahhh the lovely Autocar !! One of those trucks that can be built as anything under the sun Your gonna have fun building this truck its one of my favorites

Wow this is gonna be a beautiful truck

Sounds like a fun build ! Adding the container trailer really allows variety since they can be any color or random markings The 780 makes an attractive truck too, always surprising its only curbside

Wow your flying thru the build !! Great progress so far

Good start Jim you'll have it sorted out in no time Nice engine swap !
