I found it neccessary to sand the edges of the center brace to square it up and fit correctly. Also make sure you get the side panels in the right order. It is a real challenge for sure but can build up nicely.

The problem seems to root in the fact this chromebook only has googles os and most copiers require a MS os. Even the manufactures assistance people could not give me a definitive answer on what will work. Suggested to keep trying different ones. They even suggested that I should run my chromebook through another computer that is connected to a printer!LOL

My sons gave it to me for fathers day. It has ports but because it is all google os it wont work with mos5 printers it seems. Google ended the cloud printing in 20 or 21.

Recovering from "the virus" and need to print forms for insurance and the hospital. My new laptop I find is not compatible with my printer nor two others I had to return to Best Buy because the ones they said would work didn't! Have an ASUS Chromebook. So had to pull the old desk top out and get it all wired back up.

Working on a model with covid sucks!LOL Last picture befor final finish which I won't post until trailer is done. Painted the trailer but grain dryers down the street at the elevator put too much junk in the air and have to repaint it.

Looks good! Brings back fond memories. When we were kids would hear them and run outside to see them go over. Headed south and then later in the evening headed back north following US45. Found out years later they were flying freight and mail from Chicago to Champain .

Chassis done except for taillights. Shortened the tanks and added the steps from the parts box. Doing detail work on the cab and soon will move on to the trailer. My biggest fear is decaling it!

Just got the cab in place. Had to make adjustments to the shift tower and rear mounts because I lowered the cab honges about an eighth of an inch. Now shortening the round tanks.

Interior ready to go in as soon as I do a little detail work on the cab. Wanted the sleeper open but didn't like the setup for the open curtains. Cut out the center of the closed curtain piece to add the upper bulkhead panel and lowered the bunk a hair lower than the top edge of the interior bucket.

Just getting back on this one! More pictures soon.

You are not kidding! Discovered that the frame posts for the cab hinge are different lengths and had to move one up higher on the frame.

Just finished it this morning. Far from perfect.

I always would wet the seals after inspecting them for wear. Always carried spares.

So it should be renamed Only Off Topics That (fill in the blank) Likes?

The lead singer for The Shadows Of Knight passed away Friday following a stroke.

Getting closer. Held up by a short shot door hinge piece.

We still watch the show on MeTV . Sad news,

Years ago I built the carrier USS Forestal because I had a cousin serving on her. i gave it to his Mother after he was killed in the fire in 1967. built the USS Constitution in the late 70's but it got crushed during a move. I have it to build again if I can find the box it is hiding in!

another one I deal with, causes weakness in my legs occasionally especially after sitting or standing for long periods. can't fix it because it is in the area that the fusion was done.

Except for the polyps they removed from mt stomach it has been unchanged since diagnosed 4 years ago. on Omeprazole and Mylanta as needed. Have to watch what I eat and no more soda or alcohol.

All I know is that project is way above my pay grade!?

Broke my back in 1997 and had lumbar fusion and laminectomy done at 2 levels, was supposed to by 3 but my heart rate became unstable so they closed asap. Left me with more pain than I had before the surgery. Sciatica is a daily thing I have dealt with ever since. Not fun at all! Beware of the pain meds, steroids and muscle relaxants. If you don't have acid reflux now you will have in due time from them. Mine lead to Barretts Esophagus and the recent removal of a cancerous pollup in my stomach.

Little more progress.

It scales out to 33-34 inches which is about right for a 55 gallon drum.

Was looking at the barrels from the Ford C600 and the just looked wrong, looked terrible. Cut down the top and bottom to fit inside. Spent way too much time on one but the result was worth it! 4 more to go. LoL
