thanks all. slightly stalled on this at the moment. as I was waiting for the cab to dry, I started a few other projects, lol [66 chevelle and a 69 Camaro]. should be back on to it shortly though, thanks for following along.

I gotta say, I am really digging that! cool build.

sweet set up JT, looks fabulous man.

that's a fine looking rig! nice job.

looking good man!

i dunno, that looks pretty good to me too. if it were me, i'd leave it alone and use it to compare how you've progressed.

nice job, she looks fantastic!

looking forward to seeing this one come together, love the color as well

thanks guys, rear panel didn't come out as well as I had hoped, but I can live with it. Mark, the green is 'krylon short cuts' [small can] Hunter green. I must say, I didn't care for the paint itself, but it was the best 'looking' green I could find for this project.

superb work on the engine, looks beautiful. if this work is a result of a slump, I can't imagine what you get done when you are in the 'zone'

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb sorry, that was from my chin hitting my keyboard every update is just better and better, killer job so far!

wow, that is slick! candy tangerine with gold flake in it...........???

excellent work, looks like you could jump in and drive it.

started a 66 chevelle today, I used to own one, was an SS clone, I shoulda never sold it........ anyway, I saw a new spark or sonic at work in a pale yellow, it was called 'lemonade' on the window sticker, and the color just screamed to me to do a 66 in it, so to the parts counter I went with paint code in hand and ordered a spray can of the color. today I did some body work, and then layed on some 'lemonade', needs a wet sand, then some clear coats, but I like the way it looks so far, will have a black interior, but still unsure of wheel choice, maybe poverty caps, or the incorrect rally wheels. I also may use some PE bits on it. stay tuned....

thanks guys made some progress, not as good as I had hoped, but I think once 'wrapped up' it'll look ok,

another fabulous build! all the little 'extras' are just pure dynamite, just fantastic!

this has cracked me up for a few days now, I laugh out loud when I look at it or think about it.............good stuff........

no pic's as two were customer cars, but yesterday i worked on/drove a '14 camaro ZL1, '12 gran sport vette convert and a '15 vette convert. all nice rides on a fabulous unseasonably warm October day.

I always look forward to your updates, great building and even better stories!

I was wondering that myself, must have been a huge hoard of stuff stuffed in the warehouse to supply all the stores [or most of them anyway].

last two I did, after wet sanding with 2000 grit, I hit it with meguires 105 and 205. didn't do anything after that, gave me the look I was after, nice gloss and depth.

any and all input on this build is appreciated, I have looked at Hanks site and all the CF pic's, but no interior shots yet, so any help on that would be great. as I say, I plan to get close, but not perfect. I managed to get the cab 'smoothed' out as far as the roof seam goes, and have a round of sanding to do on the back panel seams. I did however get the tanks done today, not as perfect as I would have liked, but they are good 'one footers' I will post as many pic's as I can on this build, still have yet to start on the trailers, so stay tuned...........

thanks guys I have been looking at tons of pictures, need to modify a few bits here and there, but nothing major. it won't be exact, but it'll be close enough for me, lol. any idea what color interior these trucks would have had? I am thinking black, but have yet to find an interior pic of a CF rig...... plan to get some work done on it today, so hopefully some new pic's later on today.

looking good so far, this is gonna be cool.

how does the tanker itself compare to the AMT tankers build-wise? are they as horrible fitting? or a completely different animal build/fit wise?
