DRIPTROIT 71

Very nice project! Looks great! Nice work!

I like old White 9000s! This one looks great!!

I Like it!!!!

Thanks for the huge compliment! Thanks so much for the compliment as well!

Thanks for the kind words. Mack brochures say the offset was for improved vision, "putting the driver right behind the tire". Some sources that I've read said it improved vision on winding mountain roads. On a very sharp curve the driver could see farther ahead sitting on the far left side of the truck. Some other sources say it was because of the short hood and the engine does extend back into the passenger floor board. However, Mack made other offset cabs that the engine did not extend into the passenger floor board.

Very nice build!

This is just totally cool!! Instead of oil field truck, I'm picturing a massive off road log truck complete with loader. Something like a forwarder. I'm not telling you to change your build plans, I'm just saying that your work so far has inspired me, like I need another project planned. I really like those terra tires too. I've been wanting a set myself. Did you order directly from KFS? I'm looking forward to seeing more of this build!

Excellent work on an excellent subject choice!

Your work never ceases to amaze me! This is another excellent example of your amazing craftsmanship! Your interiors and dash details are my favorite!

I PM'd you a few pictures. This is what I believe the other side of the bracket to look like. These are the best I have. I often use some "creative license" under cabs and hoods.

That looks AWESOME!!!! You've really done a great job on this!

I'm sorry it took so long to get pictures. As you can see, the instructions barely show the manifolds. The second picture is one that I built a few years ago.

Very nice project with a great story! Looking forward to seeing more!

Nice builds!

Cool and I learned something too! Very nice!

Here is a view from the front that you can zoom in on to get an idea.

Here's a picture of the real thing. There are straight on both sides.

I like it!!

Very nice work Lee!

That looks pretty Awesome!

Thanks Man!!

If I'm remembering correctly these kits came with 8v-71s. Did you scratch build the engine?

Very nice Ken! The Road Boss is one of my favorite kits! I believe it was the first kit that I ever built.

WOW!!!! That grill looks GREAT!

Very nice builds Lee!
