  1. At the truck show at the N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer N.C. I saw an old U-Model Mack that had formerly been operated by Overnight Transport. The new owner has plans to restore it. This build is meant to represent what this truck might look like restored. It began with the MPC DM 600 kit. Many parts were used from the AMT Mack R-Model kit as well. The Engine and Transmission are from the R-Model kit, the font wheels and air drier are from Clint Freeman, the rear wheels, tires, differential, and rear springs are from A.I.T.M., mudflaps are from Plastic Dreams, and the decals are from Modeltruckin.com.
  2. Thanks for the kind words guys!! I'm calling this one done. I'll be posting it in the "Under Glass" section after I take some outdoor shots. Thanks to everyone who commented along the way!
  3. That is a beautiful Mack!! Great work!!
  4. I like it!! Nice build!!
  5. Well it looks like you're the first to finish. Nice looking build too!!
  6. I finally did some more work on the U Model today. The hood is hinged and mounted, Mirror brackets are made and installed, mudflap hangers made and mudflaps installed. It doesn't sound like much for 3 months, but that's how it goes sometimes.
