  1. Wow! That looks good!
  2. Traded with guitarsam326 today. Excellent trade! Very much recommended!
  3. Thanks for the heads up guys! I came so close to ordering that engine. I guess it was good that I waited.
  4. Excellent Build!!! Excellent choice for today! Very Fitting!! We must never forget: Someone has died so that we might live!
  5. This build looks incredible!!!
  6. I'm planning on an electric fan either way. I'm going to refabricate a lower section for the fire wall and then decide about the radiator. If I can leave the engine slid back where it is in the picture, I think that I can squeeze in a radiator. It is going to need a large transmission cooler as well. I had told you that I was also going to add a body lift, but with the suspension that I already have, I may not. I will be able to tell more when the tires get here. I've been toying with many ideas. I've got the turbos off of the Tyrone Malone truck, and considered trying to squeeze twin turbos under the hood or at least under the fenders. This is one build that I do not have a clear vision of where it is going to end up. Just enjoying the build. Put together a couple of 1:1s back in my younger days, but this way is much cheaper.
  7. Is that something specifically for Mack or is it a universal? It really looks good!
  8. Removed heater box and lower section of firewall because of clearance issues. Front axel with fabricated knuckles installed. Transfer case installed. Ready for some tires to arrive.
  9. Wow! That looks Good!!!
  10. Your model is more realistic than the pictures of the real ones. EXCELLENT!!!
  11. If I didn't know any better I would be sure that those are all aluminum parts. Your a master with the Alclad!!, and plastic!!!
  12. This thing is going to be Awesome!!
  13. Nice builds! I've seen a 1:1 similar to the red one somewhere around here before.
  14. That truck has attitude! Great build!
  15. The springs are made and hangers mounted. The frame is re-enforced, not so much because of the raw 238 horsepower that this engine will produce if it remains naturally aspirated, but because of the added 1500lbs. over the FE Big Block that it brings with it. Still experimenting.
  16. Nice Shots! Great Build!!
  17. Now that is just cool! Great Build!!
  18. Very Nice Build! I've turned many a wrench on those cars!!
