Interior done, pretty basic.

Seems to be a hit and miss issue. A few hours ago it would take forever, if ever to load a page and now fast as ever. Been like this for a feew days.

A Hawk carried away one of the pesky squirrels that dig up the wife's flowers! Tried to catch it on my phone but was too slow.

I'll check my parts box tomorrow, may have some that are individual.

The only thing different I believe is the center cap.

Some leads but still looking too!

?

A little more done. Getting ready for the white base color. Roof will be same as the top of the trailer, orange thought about blue along the bottom of the cab but the frame is probably enough.

Still looking I guess???

Told my family if I'm ever diagnosed with it I will refuse any treatment for it. Why throw money better used elsewhere at a losing cause.

What irked me, we live in a 50 up community. This morning looked out and the street is lined with blankets, lawn chairs and Canopy's even into the yard everywhere there is any shade. We are at the beginning end of the Labor Day parade and there is nowhere close to the street for the people that live here to watch the parade from!!!

My wife uses them as a base for her baked beans. Would not eat them as is. When I was a kid grandma would cut up Oscar Mayer hotdogs into them for beans and weenies! That was before Oscar Mayer ruined their dogs with the weird smoked flavour they now have.

Just getting started on a tractor for the tank trailer. This thing is going to be a pain to clean up too! It is the recent snow plow release. Lots of parting lines and flash to clean up! Mixed my own cat yellow using testers enamel. Used flat yellow and a few drops of tangerine. Adding pickup rails on the back of the frame.

Mine was an older rerelease and had a lot of flash and misalignment and warfare issues. I think some of those issues were addressed with the newest release. There is a good review and build on YouTube on the Chrome version.

Need a set of 4 for the Ford LNT 8000 tractor for my tank trailer. Don't know why they put 10 hole chrome wheels in work truck and trailer kits.

Just finished it and would never build another one!!! Used Model Truckin' decals from Jerry Reeter. Back ground was my 17 year old Grandson swearing in to the Marine Corps today in Indianapolis.

Getting closer, ready to do the decals.

Great trade with Leica007 (Lei Cannon) Thanks Lei !

This was the first kit I ever bought! Paid $1.50 for it at a little hobby shop.

A little more done. Keep getting pulled away from the bench.

Dealer wanted over 600 bucks to diagnose and replace a front hub on our Dodge Journey. Was 100 bucks just to diagnose it if I would have let them do it. Already had a good idea what the issue was, hub or sensor but with both the traction control and anti lock lights on the bet was on sensor ring on the hub. Took it to a little shop here in the small farm town we live in and he hooked it up and it showed the ring on the hub was bad. 239 parts and labor is what he said it will cost! He didn't charge for the scan and even said if I wanted to fix it myself it was still no charge!!! So I am letting them do the work! First time ever for us to let a shop do something other than an oil change or tire repair!

30 minute drive to town after fasting for an ultrasound of my liver. Think she was trying to push it all the way through me. Got back home eating breakfast, finally and she calls and says they need to do it over because they lost the images somehow. Car is in the shop tomorrow so have to go back Wed. Morning.

Like to have the Skelly decals rather than the kit supplied Shell decals. Going to use them on a White 3000 conversion. Worked part time one summer in High School at the Skelly Truck Stop south of town.

This thing is nerveracking!!! But finally got the frame in place best that I could. CA is your friend at moments like this!

My guess would be they are saying, "no way" to getting back in that piece of soon to be space junk! LoL
