Where do you live? I’ll send you a brand new one with the bracelets your in the states.

Thanks Jeff for the nice comment. Yes I’ll be doing more in the near future probably after the holidays are over. I enjoy all you guys positive comments and I hope some of my reviews help.

I remember your first one and you did a great job on it as well.

Yes that’s a good idea. I never built the cars I’ve often thought about buying a couple.

Nice progress. Savings time by not removing chrome off of many parts and the way this kit builds so easy really helps.

Nice build for sure. This truck looks very cold 🥶. I really like those sanders you added and the Headlight guards nice touch. The front Mudflaps looks like there frozen in that position. Thanks for sharing

Nice clean build. Your right these were everywhere back in the day. I read a article in Over Drive Magazine how Phil Jensen build one like yours back in 1973 so they been around for a long time. Also I have seen ads that were in the 1960s of the Roadway Ford C trucks Thanks for sharing.

I mentioned this on the year end under class thread but those too stacks looks good. The paint striping sets this truck off also thanks for sharing

Another great build your Plumbing looks very clean and accurate. That Swan is the icing on the cake. Great build all around definitely a one of kind truck. Thanks for sharing

Very beautiful and a unique build. The bed looks very convincing with one of the boards kick up like they do and I like that paint scheme colors. Thanks for sharing

I really need to finish my Mack R Models before the year ends.

Updates look very good Ken.

Looks better with each update and I like those Mudflaps. I hope your doing well.

Yes they were Don helped out a bunch of old modelers at the time with his amazing parts. I still have a couple of Don’s parts one is a chrome 1967 C10 Chevy grille and a 1964 Chevy long pickup bed. Bill has done some amazing work in the Resin field over the decades but I will always like the Castings that Don did for Bill they we’re smooth as glass like his Kenworth 900l and Peterbilt 379 he had Don cast these up for years. Now 3d resin has taken over and the old build by scratch Masters like Bill did in the old days are about gone. Bill has received several new Kenworth kits from Global Trucks and he’s says there’s no way his old Resin Casted trucks can compare to Global’s standards.

Me too great results from such a simplified solution. Thanks for sharing.

You can sit by me up front as long as you share your popcorn and it’s buttered 😂

Scott you have been very busy covering a lot of ground. I have to agree with Jeff it’s a beautiful engine and spot on too. I like the Mack Filters you added and the color and shape of the fan is perfect. Like I mentioned I drove a CHN613 with a MP7 some of the Sleepers had MP8. My first encounter with the MP8 with the Mdrive automatic transmission was around 2014 when St. Louis Mack dropped off their new test truck for my boss to test out. He picked me to be the Guinea pig. The only draw back I didn’t like it had super singles on it.

Can you Please say that one more time 😂

One sharp looking rig the trailer matches perfect.

Scott that is a great idea. A friend of mine does the same thing for reference and How to Videos. I just seen this YouTube video last night thanks for sharing.

Yep I knew that I once was a die hard Mack fan for years because I drove so many from Mack Superliners to The Mack RS700L and a B61 and also B67. My last one was a brand new Mack CHN613 it had a MP7 with a MDrive 12 speed automatic transmission I drove it for 6 years till I semi retired.

Those turnout stacks are cool looking

Well I forgot to mention I really like the way you weathered the springs and bogey with the rust jacking effect very convincing. Also that’s what a good forum does encourage each other.

I’m in for sure. I have shortened one of these kits so far I thought it was going to be hard to do come to find out it’s very easy they way I did it. I just built the whole rear ended section and just moved it forward. Is this how your planning to do it or you have a even simpler way? I also like this kit for the low chrome piece count it’s a great kit.

Ken the frame looks good. I like how you numbered the Air bag set up great idea. It will look better now I think with a shorter WB.
