I like that. I was hoping that you would bring the back out like you have done. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

Thanks Gator. I do still have some work to do on the door panels yet. I am still trying to get suitable window cranks and door levers as well. Thanks Jeff, I will check them out. And Thanks to everyone for the comments! -

Thanks for the encouragement! ...On the chain binder, this is the very first time that I have ever attempted to make hooks or a binder (it even worked). Truthfully, I would have never even tried to make one if I had not been inspired by your builds. I was not completely happy with it either. It is bit large and a little different style, but I modeled based on one that is laying in the back of my truck. I didn't get the angle of the handle just right either. Like I said, this model consisted of a lot or "firsts" for me. I'm still learning the old fashioned way. Thanks again for the encouragement and advise.....Brian -
That is cool!!!

Very Nice!! I Like old tractors!!!! The real ones became too expensive, so I went back to models (LOL). Great work!!

Nice!!! I had 2 MH Pacers which look like a Pony but has a larger engine. They even use the same sheet metal. I would like to get hold of one of those to model my old tractor. Do you know where I could find one?

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate the encouragement. I shake a lot more than I used to, but I do enjoy building trucks. Tried a lot of new things on this rig that I've never done before. I've learned from several mistakes as well. I hope to finish this one soon. Thanks Sean, I like your Apollo 116 better. It inspired this one. -

Thanks for the advice. I think that I'll try that. On the stacks, I want to maintain the 70s look. I was going to make scale 4" or maybe 5" straight pipes. I made one out of plastic so far, but not satisfied with the finish. I was going to find some aluminum pipes and try that. Thanks for the comments guys. -

Making a little headway. I took some pictures with better lighting today. A little more accomplished. Can't get Photobucket to load. I tried Chrome and Explorer both on Windows 7. Any suggestions? These photos were downloaded to the sight.
