Check out http://11foot8.com/. This bridge in Durham, NC has it's own website..................absolutely incredible!

LOVE the engine! That's got more twists and turns than a bowl of spaghetti! Wow! Awesome body work too!

X2!!!!!!!

Wow.....................awesome details and paint work. KEEP IT UP!

Had one similar on an IHC B275 farm tractor as an add on unit. The cylinder is the assist. When activating the steering wheel, in ADDITION to the normal mechanical advantage from the wheel and steering shaft, an add on valving unit attached to the shaft, activated the cylinder in the appropriate direction using hydraulic pressure from an add on driven pump with separate reservoir. Hope that helps.

eBay item 321948018160. Guy from Lunenburg VT. I got a couple from him and they are nice.

Yes, aluminum is a conductor. I have never built a booth for models, but, I did own a full size downdraft booth in a body shop, and it WAS grounded to control static. Won't be a big deal to do, so go for it!

Very nice work! Looks a lot like the rigs used to maintain the high tension electric lines in our area. COOL!

EXTREMELY realistic looking builds.............would look like 1:1 if not shown with the reference to scale. NICE!!!!

LONG LIVE CABOVERS!!!!!

That is a superb piece! Wish my eyes and fumble fingers were capable of such work! Thanks for sharing it!

Terry, your builds are incredible. I though I had a lot of unfinished projects, but your batch is awesome............but even more impressive is the level to which you have taken so many of them. My attention span is so short, it only has one end. I can NEVER get that far with a build without getting side tracked or deciding to change something I had been working on for years already and starting over. I have a CO-4090 in process right now, that I THOUGHT was getting close to completion...................until I started thinking about converting the already done running gear from a tandem drive to an all wheel drive, and now I can't get it out of my head! Keep up the superb work!

Superb work.......................looks absolutely stunning!!!

I do believe that the AMT Challenge mixer kit was only released with a Kenworth under it, not an Autocar. It was kit number T559. There were, to my knowledge, only two Autocar kits made, the dump and the tractor.

From what info I know, told me by a fellow running one of these in a pulling truck, the Pontiac labelled heads were developed by Pontiac Racing for use on a big block Chevy in Pontiac bodied cars. Whatever the case, it is a MAJOR power producing engine, with the all time favorite big block Chevy at it's heart.

You are ALL youngsters!

Ditto!!!!!!

Would like to see SOMEONE, especially Moebius, make a detachable gooseneck lowboy, such as a Talbert, or any one of many different makes. Would be a WELCOME addition to any modelers collection, and would be very appropriate to the modern market Moebius is catering to.

I fully agree with Gator.............. but I can't even remember what CRS stands for! LOL! All kidding aside, I also wish this forum existed years ago, and that I had found it earlier. Excellence inspires excellence, (or at least ATTEMPTS at it!). There is so much skill present here, that it boggles the mind. I can only aspire to be somewhere around 5% as skilled as those on this forum! Cheers, Tom

Nice winch setup! Great idea on the wheels too! Like it!

Nice DR!!!!

I agree. GM is such a giant, that Navistar stands little chance of NOT getting screwed, in the big picture. Hopefully Navistar has done their due diligence and keeps their back against the wall!

Awesome build!

EVERYTHING looks better with a Detroit under the hood..................even a Ford! Awesome build, and one I would LOVE to have a 1:1 version of parked in MY yard! I used to own a garage and body shop with a towing service. Had a yard full of Detroits, running and parts...............only wish I had kept some of them to do this in 1:1 with after I closed the shop. Oh well, wishful thinking! So, I REALLY enjoy this kind of work!Keep the pics coming!!! Tom

Awesome work you got going on here! It was great meeting you today at my shop. It is VERY clear to me that you have far more patience than I do..............heck my eyes can't even SEE half of the details you have going on! NICE!!!
