I suppose now that everyone has seen the front I could turn it around. You are absolutely right Jim, I think the front of the rig should point toward the engines, for expediency.

What exactly did he do? So we don’t do the same.

Welldone.I love the presentation.

The truck is in primer, awaiting decisions to be made about color. It will be two-tone likely a maroon/grey or brown/beige combination.

The unit is completed and on duty.

If that is a first diorama I can't wait to see what is coming! I have yet to do a proper weathering. i think you have it in you. Keep on...

I looked at the box this morning.

He just gave 5 million to a Sudbury hospital. He is a spry 96 as we speak.

Thank you for the compliment. That was supposed to be a spill but you are right, they look exactly like broken tiles.

How's this? When it gets tilted back to roll, the handles are not much higher than the doorknob.

Now, THAT turns my crank! What a beauty!

Well... maybe not. It is about 6 feet tall. If I lowered the handlebar it may make it more palatable.

So this is what I ended up with. It is going in my Vannonball vehicle.

The 460 is a very tight fit. Added exhaust and driveshaft. Had no choice but making them come out in front of the wheels à la AAR. Straightened out the panhard rod.

The original idea was to have it laid down like the one below. I could not find proper wheels so it will be upright, If it proves to be too big, that can be fixed.

Mocking up the axle location.

X2.

Good spot for an Allison.

Yes. That's likely the one I should look for. although they both look green to me.

Lookin' good.Joeseph, how did you do the spark plug boots?

Something happened to your pictures.

Thanks Bill,This is what was in my Model A, likely a restoration supply paint. Most of what I have seen was close to this. I had bee using olive green but I don't think it is correct, more appropriate for a Packard.The Lincoln here is almost gray, but likely has faded as you say. By the way, if that engine didn't have a fan, you couldn't hear it run.

What do people here use, short of ordering a can of the real thing. Model a's, T's, early V8s & 12s.

Absolutely..

Love it.
