DRIPTROIT 71

That's a big rig if I've ever seen one. Excellent work too! Nicely weathered.

I wonder why "Bandag" has been removed. It's going to be hard to have a Bandag Bandit without Bandag.

If you get it done, I would be interested in it with or without the interior. If you get it done, let me know! I like old square cabovers and yours looks great!

Awesome!!

Very cool! Is there any chance that your Ford W series cabover cab will be available in resin?

Everything about this build is Awesome! It would be Awesome if it was two wheel drive. Making it four wheel drive on steel rims takes it to the next level! Great work! The interior is awesome too!

Looks Great!! The wood looks perfect!

Yet again, WOW!!! AWESOME WORK!!

I'm speechless!!! I build models, you my friend are an artist! Craftsmanship at its best!! Great work!! Looking forward to more!!

Awesome work!! That is a lot of levers!

This thing is awesome!! Great work in capturing every detail! Looks Great!!

Thanks!! Thanks so much!! Thanks Charles!! Thanks so much Ray!!

I always enjoy your builds Ken and this one is no exception. Great work!!

Excellent craftsmanship! Truly a work of art! I enjoyed watching this one come together!!

Thanks Cary! As far as techniques go, I learn as I go. ? I've had this idea for a while, I just never tried it. Dump trucks are real common around here and especially old steel beds are always full of dents, Thanks! It was a learning experiment. Thanks! I tried something new on the radiator hoses. I made them from paper clip wire and then covered them with heat shrink. Thanks for the kind words! Thanks Jeff! I'm looking forward to seeing your dump finished myself. Thanks again everyone!!

Very nice build! Excellent weathering!!

Looking Good!

Awesome looking build! Great work!!

Looking good! Glad that you're back on this one!

Excellent work! The bottle is awesome!! The tailgate details are too!

Jamie's email is: jlrahmo@aol.com Fully dressed the 6-71 is most likely going to be way to long for the stock engine bay in a 50 Chevrolet. The valve cover with both accessory drives measures 1 3/4". That is not including pulleys. No belt is included. I usually make belts out of styrene strips. A 4-71 may be a bit long but would come closer to fitting. I built an F-8 Ford with a 4-71 and I'm pretty sure that I had to modify the firewall to get it to fit. I put a 6v-71 in a 71 Ford truck and had to modify the firewall on it too. That would be similar in length to a 3-71 which is also an option. If the 4-71 is the route you choose I'm told that Jamie also offers it too. Another option that you may consider is the 4BT Cummins that Jamie offers. It would be the closest to fit in the original bay without modifying the firewall. A 6BT would come closer than a 6-71 but may still need some modifying to the firewall. I hope that this helps. Brian

Amazing work!

Looks Awesome! I always like your color choices!

This is a really cool project! Excellent scratch building work here! Looks great!!
