    Looks great! You know how to capture this era of Ford pickup!

    Very nice looking build!! I like the look with stock wheels without hubcaps.

    That is a great looking build! I remember this color combo. Great job on the bed conversion! All around excellent build!

    Hanks recently in the past year shut down his truck picture website; "Hank's Truck Pictures." This was a great source for reference material on vintage trucks. Now sadly, Hank is shutting down the forum too, which was still a good reference source. One of the members on that forum was a major source of information on my Highbinder build. Sadly due to cost of maintaining the site, the forum will be taken down.

    Looks almost ready for a hot load of asphalt!

    Looking good! My only complaint with this kit is that the cab fits loosely on the interior bucket and there is a lot of gaps around the firewall unless you fill them. I used Evergreen styrene to fill the gaps on mine. I also used doll house hinges to hinge the hood. As far as the bed to the back of cab clearance, it looks like the one that I built years ago is the same way.

    Nice looking Peterbilt!

    Looks Amazing!

    I'm amazed at your ability with those individual rivets. You can fabricate a truck a lot faster than I can build a truck. Great work!

    Thanks!! Thanks Kerry! Thanks Gator!! Thanks! Looking forward to seeing what you come with. Both resin versions of this one have their issues. I modified the grill on this, and although it is not exact, it is closer than it was to the real thing.

    Excellent work! Looks great!! I like the paint job!

    Awesome work!!! Looks great!

    Looks great!! As far as engine colors, it could have been painted grey after an overhaul job since grey was a Mack color. A company that I used to work for painted all their Mack engines grey when they overhauled them even if they were originally gold.

    WOW!!! That is one incredible looking model!
