Nice looking rendition of a Cat Steve especially when you have little to work from. Great work on the small details too.

Jeff do mine me asking where you got your light bar?

Yes I told Bill I was thinking of buying one and he said Daniel is a good guy not to worry.

It’s ok Brian you been calling me by my name Lee for the longest time. 😂 there’s so many on here sometimes it’s hard to keep up with names.

Yeah us old Road Drivers called that a “Rooster Tail” and the Plow driver driving like that was a idiot and just made the road worse. I mostly witnessed this very late at night or the wee hours of the morning when no one was around to see this.

Your welcome Brian and it’s Lee not Pete 😂

Yes it does. The mock up looks great and I like how you used the six spoke wheels from the Mack R kit showing it has a heavier lb. front Axle. Those six spokes wheels make a difference on these Louisvilles. I have a set I’m using for a Louisville Dump Truck I was working on. Thanks for sharing Jeff.

Going to look good in the color Jeff something different besides red we’re used to.

Hood looks good and crisp and clean glad he’s still casting it. I almost bought one last summer but back out. Maybe one day I’ll get one.

You’re going a different route with this and glad you are enjoying it. Those tires are very aggressive looking just right for the Ice Roads or some intense Off road Logging.

Brian that rubber defector is looking convincing and the fittings you did are a nice clean fit. Great work as always.

Scott your build is shaping up at a fast pace liking the updates. Thanks for sharing.

You been building as long as my brother Bill he will be 64 this year. I’ve been building since I was around 10 years old. Start building 1/25 trucks in 1984 I’m 56. I’ve always enjoyed you work on here for years and glad you still post your builds.

Thanks Dom I appreciate your complement and stopping by. Yes not many builders these days builds old Iron like this anymore.

Great updates Scott. Nice looking mirrors as the others have said and paint looks great.

Engine looks good glad your back on the build again.

Your welcome Ken. Like Brian said your hinge work is neat and tidy and your moving along with this at a good pace.

Thanks Steve for the complement. I hope so you can never get enough Model kit’s right? Glad you stopped by.

Nah I’ve got about 2 Mack’s left that I started 45 years ago I almost finished but used the Parts/Frames or sold them but kept the cabs that’s on pause 😂 I got them from Doug Compton he sold the company to AITM. Doug bought the company from the founder Jim Etter. I’m planning on getting these finished one day soon. Thanks for the complement.

Good looking old company Japanese Freightliner. Nice details thanks for sharing.

Good looking 50s rig you did a great job on the conversion sorry I missed this. Thanks for sharing.

Another nice looking truck with the square headlights. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Gary glad you dropped in

Thanks I appreciate it. Glad you stopped by. Finished pics are in Under Glass thread

Pat we’ve all been there a couple summers ago I did about the same thing with the crossmembers on this ford frame it’s very easy to do. I like your updates don’t let this discouraged you keep going.
