Back on the chassis. I decided to change the car transmission which was on the engine to the one from the C600. Luckily I won't have to modify the transmission support. Is it an automatic or a 5 speed? Doesn't say on the C600 box. Question: does a tanker have frame mounted fuel tanks with an access panel or is there a compartment for running fuel in the tank body?

After seeing the one in your White 7400 I should hide this one.

This is one of the most fascinating builds I have ever seen. Which nuts did you use on the oil filter bracket?

More work on the interior. Mostly at the upper front. trying to make it conform to the underside of the resin cab. Gathered stuff for the instrument panel.

Two Dodges, a Chebby and a Foad.

Here's what I came up with using Ken Smith's article. I'll have to work on my "neatness" if that's a word. Played with camera settings as well. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Weatherman says it is a modelling day.

I'm following this with great interest. Nice seeing it coming together.

After a near miss which resulted in a safety inspection, the foreman followed up on inspector Mike DeRagon's suggestion and added some angles to provide a more positive stop for the winch cradle.

That is a fabulous rendition of an all time great. What are you going to do with the kit's engine?

I had done the same thing with the M.A.N. engine which I didn't want to display with the transmission.

Not photo etched JT, just a reduced photo. Looks real doesn't it?

Not being sure of what the bare crankshaft end looks like I printed a photoreduced flywheel. I added nuts which may be too big and blackened the "holes". The washer will raise it a bit to give it some depth.

That is the stand I had made for the 702.

Practicing detailing à la Ken Smith on an eBay NTC350.

Are you applying them with the brush or spraying?

I have this one which is the only one I've seen other than one time I saw it in a movie. They were playing it in the movie. There are some pretty good tunes on it. According to Google it was recorded in 1967, which is likely when I bought it.

Love it.

Glad you are enjoying it Mark. That is the intent all along, to entertain. And to hone my techniques as it will never be done. Always adding, changing.

Well done Scott. Clean, crisp, a pleasure to look at.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I know I'm in the wrong magazine for this but does anyone know if Ken Smith's series of articles on detailing model trucks have ever been put in one place?

More work on the interior.

When I restored the Jeep, I replaced the kit's 304 with a 258 six. I cleaned up and detailed the 304 and it is headed for the engine collection.

Thanks guys.
