Terry, Good looking work here. I am really liking this thread.Keep up the good work! Be Well Gator

Ray, That one looks real good now. Glad to see you back in the groove. Be Well Gator

Arnd, Looking god thus far. Your mirror brackets look good. We used to call those west coast mirrors back in the day. The could be chromed or painted. The mirror part the frame ussually had rounded conrners. I drove a C-60 in 1970 that was painted white and the mirrors were also painted white. Be Well Gator

Michael, The paint and decals look pretty good! Be Well Gator

Cool looking build. I like the color! Be Well Gator

Wyatt, Nice start on this project. I wouldsuggest, That when you try to weather this model. Use a little bit of paint and a lot of thinner .To mix what we call a wash. Then you can brush it over the motor or whatever. And keep adding to it .Until you get the desired effect. Be Well Gator

JT, The orange will look good with the kit decals! If you decide to use them. But I do know this. Whatever you do to it. It will be a killer project! I have one of these in the stash. I originally bought it with an eye towards making a crane carrier out of it. I also had someone cast a bunch of the wheels and tires for me. To use on future projects. Be Well Gator

I wonder if you could put a modified van body on a Unimog Chassis? I see another proejct coming!!! Be Well Gator

Well people are going to complain no matter what. So??? I am for any parts packs that would broaden the possibilkityies of building more than one of a particular model. Say the A-car with the Montone dump then another with the Heil dump. Parts packs would make that more feasable. Of course you may have to modify the frame but. That is what model building is about. Look at what you need to do to build a AITM resin kit! Be Well Gator

I use the instructions and still manage to mess things up! lol And I do have quite a few stashed away just incase I lose one. Be Well Gator

Very nice model. And a great tutoral on making the windows. Thanks Jurgen! Be Well Gator

Laughing my A** off! OMG and having just moved for the second and last time here in the Philippines. This could have been the add for the guys that moved my stuff. Great stroy and a really good looking bed bug hauler. Be Well Gator

Super job on this ole rat rod! But I think the wheels are a bit too clean???? ;-)) Be Well Gator

Very nice conversion. I like the the colors and two tone paint scheme. Be Well Gator

Real cool looking build ! I like the old beat up scout. Be Well Gator R

Cool build! And no imho you don't need all the plumbing and photoetch parts to build a show stopping model! Be Well Gator

Great story and super coo build. I Hope they got it home in good shape. So that they can enjoy that memory for many years .Whenevr they look at the model. Be Well Gator

Love the graphics on the plow! I would bet that every winter thousands of mail boxes get demoloished when they plow. Be Well Gator

That is definetly unique! Should be an interesting thread to follow. Be Well Gator

I say go for it. Build it as long as you want. It is your model. Andnobody said it has to be an actual replica or even a possiblility in 1 - 1. I would use .030 - .040 sheet for the walls.And if you if you want to do rounded corners. Put etra plastic strip on the inside ofplastic on the inside of each corner . I would also highly recomend some sort of solvent to bond the plastic. As opposed to super glue or epoxy.And you might want to add some lateral strips on the inside to prevent bowing. Especially since you aren't planning on doing the interior yet. Be Well Gator

Too bad about the paint job. But I am sure you will get it sorted out. Be Well Gator
