The bench looks a lot cleaner than when I visited. I would like to encourage you to concentrate on you BRBO.

Yellow cab, green fenders. Sounds eye catching.

My condolences. Losing someone you have shared so much life with is a great loss.

Interesting project. I'll be following.

Welcome Joe. There is a lot to learn and admire here.

Superb craftsmanship.

This one made me laugh right out loud! This is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice work indeed.

I love all of your builds.?

Nice variety. I like the 57 Draggin Wagon, The 4 door Pontiac but most of all the Bug + gooseneck camper. Though from an structural standpoint, I am not sure the VW rain gutters would contend with the wind/drag of the trailer very well.

Oh OK. I have some that tape in my HVAC service van. I thought your foiling looked like "real" BMF.

Jeff, As per our PMs, My Freightliner daycab does not qualify (too far along). Please update the list to be my Freightliner triple drive.

I agree on the timeline data. I myself have updated timelines a well as I am able.

I want a KW T2000 in 1/25 scale. I love the hood/bumper. For a trailer I would like to see a more modern dedicated car hauler with the 5th wheel low and behind the rear wheels.

Thank you all for your compliments. ?

Curt, Do you have an "On the bench" post started so we may follow along? What brand of BMF are you using? I appears to be the thick goo version.

Dan, I did research on the "proper" engine color and what I discovered was everything was one BLAH color. I decided to take some artistic license and mix red and white to make pink. I am not one who gets all uptight about "correctness". The rear light bar should be awesome compared to the stock lights. Though fabrication is much more labor intensive than assembly. I also have to deal with the varying thicknesses of all the lenses. Stay tuned, I have this one as part of the 2020 BRBO.

I like those cars as well. When I was a kid, my dad bought a White 66 Satellite convertible because it already had a trailer hitch to pull out boat. It had a red interior.

Very nice. Please continue to share.

I would take LESS out from in front of the rear wheels. The visual centerline of the C-pillar should intersect with the center of the wheel. Have you ever noticed SAABs from the 80's look weird? That is why.

Are you going for a public service garage or a private workshop? My next project shall be a garage diorama. I will be following yours.

I think there is a limited amount of time that editing is available after a post. I would suggest a PM to a moderator to have them edit it.

Enjoy your families and have a Merry Christmas! ??? Bill N. Salem, OR

I have 2 WIPs that I think can meet the AUG 1 deadline. Do they qualify? I would like to participate and would like the motivation.
