X's 2 That would be a really great project. Be Well Gator

Dennis, I am just wag ing here. I think they might be 6cyclynders if they are side by side. Cummins maybe?? But then again Euclid was owned by GM then . I think? Do I sense another of your cool projects? If so I may have something for you?? Be Well Gator

Cool truck. You did a good job replicating the real thing. Be Well Gator

Dennis, That is spot on. I like the green you used. And the folding DOT bar is trick. Be Well Gator

Jesus, Looking good amigo. Orange and blue works. For the hand truck go to Scale Equipment limited. I belive they have one. I know thety have a pallet jack/truck. Be Well Gator

Jarda, Jonathon, Thanks for stopping by.. The motor will get more dirt and grime . And I am relearning somethings as I go. Be Well Gator

James, TryJjamie at Mo-lminum. Or Howard at KFS. I believe both of them have chain and binders. Be Well Gator

Now maybe I can get it right this time. The top half of the motor, which will be weathered after it has been installed. The bottom half with the first layer of weathering , left and right side views. Comments and criticisms welcome. Be Well Gator

I am having a difficult time trying to update this thread. I removed on of the horn mounts on the roof and also eliminated the drivers side exhaust stack . The corresponding holes have been pluggedor, filled and sanded. I will close this and try once more to post an update. Thanks for your patience.

Jacobus, That is looking really nice! I like it . Is the cab casting very thick? Be Well Gator

Sam, You could use the white hood decal.And I think it would look good as well. But I like the plain black dirty hood!!! lol But whatever you chose. I know it will look good! Be Well Gator

While I do not even know who Travis is. I can't help but wonder? Did he bite off more than he could chew ? Was he qualified to take on a project like this? Or was he blinded by the Possibility of $$$$$ ? He has to realize that in the truck model community , right now his name is mud . And he might seriously regret his mistake. Aside from the possible legal problems. He could get hit by the IRS for Tax evasion ? That is major heartache in and of itself ! So if anyone hear is a friend of his. I strongly urge you. To advise hm to do his best to make things right, with those people he accepted deposits from ! Be Well Gator

OMG!!!!!! Now that is something else. Some serious imagination , creativity and craftsmanship ! It is so wierd you have to like it. And I like the humor as well. Be Well Gator

Sam, I like the way you have now, and with a little road grime it will be perfect Be Well Gator!

Sean , Gordon, Thanks for your interest . I am having fun with this build so far . It feels really good to be back to building . Yesterday, I got a little bit of paint sprayed on the chassis . Before I started hanging air tanks and things. The chrome parts are in the Simple green being stripped. The airbags on the drive axles have been painted and then taped off. So now the axles can be sprayed . The colors are a bright yellow ( the can says medium yellow ?) . I bought it cause it looked kinda like a Cat yellow on the color top. Not even close . The cab and chassis will be yellow And a nice red for the fenders. It should come out looking pretty good? But we will see! But I am fighting the urge to put more projects on the bench ! As it stands right now I have two out of three Snap Petes open and started . And a couple of other projects that keep saying "Build me! ". Be Well Gator

David, I am glad to see that you are still working on this one. The level of detail you are building into this model is just incredible. Thanks for sharing the build with us. Be Well Gator

Jarda, Thanks for stopping by. Yes I have been wanting to do that for quite some time now. That and removing those ugly seams on the fuel tanks and other pieces. I have decided I am going to paint the windows black from the inside. i don't like the interior on these kits and you can't see it anyway. So I will devote my time to others tasks. Be Well Gator

James, Looks like you are off to a good start on this one. I would guess that you are going in a very different direction with yours, that I am. Be Well Gator

Carl, Clayton, thanks for looking in. So far I am having some fun with this build. No new pics yet, But I just painted the motor and the four air tanks. But I grabbed the wrong can of yellow paint for the motor.! duh!!!!! Oh well , it will just have to do. ;-) Be Well Gator

Jesus, That chassis looks pretty good. But not knowing what you are going to put behind it or what compnay logo.I have no ideas for color. Be Well Gator

Thanks Jesus. Be Well Gator

Cool paint scheme! I like it with or without the graphics. Be Well Gator

Thanks Brian. I am working on it slowly but surely. Be Well Gator

Hmmmm ! Interesting. This ought to be an interesting build. Be Well Gator

Dammit Man ! The interior looks great. And the exterior is cool looking as well. The paint job and graphics look awesome! Be Well Gator
