Looks like you nailed it perfectly !

Brian, from where I sit , this is the MOST spectacularly accurate, detailed plow truck model I have ever had the pleasure to witness come together. This build is nothing short of magnificent. No matter what you decide on the chrome it will be stunning. As everyone here knows that I was on the front line with these trucks for many years, I can confirm , that you have missed nothing, and this is as close to perfect as one can possibly get. A true museum quality build.

If it were me and it certainly isn’t, I wouldn’t fret too terribly much about ‘chrome’ on the mirror brackets as all of ours here in Nelson were at beat just brushed aluminum, and jt never really did look like real chrome. I know its not me and I know the level of perfection you are striving for and , Brian , you are so close to perfection. Keep going but if the mirror brackets don’t come out 110% perfect you are still dead on near perfection. I really love this build. Very close to my heart.

Incredible attention to the finest of details and engineering. The execution of a scratch built ‘problem’ fix is nothing short of, for the want of a better term, amazing. !

This is really cool. You’re nailing the look and the box look right at home on this truck. Another great idea and vision. ….

Sounds like you had to beat that one into submission, but your efforts well paid off, David. Very impressive, excellent details. Sharp paint job too. I like this one. ! Take a bow.

Everything clicks on this one. Rivals the Autocar. I love this !!! Outstanding, pal. !

OH BOY !!!!

Outstanding ! And yeah , I agree with Brian, that particular pic is really good !

This is really cool. The color just makes this. I am getting some ideas with this build. I have built a few of these and no where near as good as this. The frame length would make a great tandem 🤔🤔 I’m looking forward to the next update. I really like where you are taking this …..

My absolute pleasure buddy. It was a lot of fun. The end results are spectacular.

I agree with the guys, it is a beauty and everything period correct. Nothing beats a heavy gravel truck. This turned out really well Scott. It gives me some ideas for my up coming builds

Absolutely outstanding ! The little details bring it to another level. The red pipe connectors with the precision chrome hose clamps, the ‘adjustable’ mirrors, the mesh grille, rear fenders and the stunning perfect paint job…… this one rivals the Autocar. This vision and execution shows what can be done with a very old kit. I will look at this one for a long time. VERY well done. Fit and finish is wonderful!!!

I agree with Jurgen and Gary …..I’d LOVE to see what you would do with a 1/25 scale truck! I still marvel at this being 1/32. Love the updates, Steve.

I totally agree with Gary , the color is spot on, this is gonna be a really cool old work horse with no glitter … I love it !!

I, as Gary and Lee, am also enjoying this thread and a good chuckle. Life is really short and we are getting to the age when some medical issues seem to be popping up for some of us. So this is good medicine, a really interesting quality build, good participation from the guys and a chuckle, yeah, this is good medicine. I’m looking forward to your next update Topher…

This makes my eyes water. Holy that is sweet !!!! So many cool ideas to sneak. Every time I look at this I see a little detail I missed. Outstanding !

Your scratch skills are off the clock. Just fabulous. The air cleaner looks perfect.

This is going to be really cool. A very unique build. I like this.

Holy cow, that’s nice, you have a special way with these customs. That engine is a jewel sitting there. I really like that, Gary.

This is a cool one. Like the other guys , the green and white looks just great and AMT did a really good job on the rims. The whole package comes together very well. This is a really good looking old school truck. I like this one.

Cool idea for sure. And going along fast.

Aren’t instructions , just someone else’s opinion??🤭🤣

The level of detail and build quality just gets better at every move, Steve. I have to keep reminding myself this is 1/32 ! I look forward to every update.

I agree with Gary, came out really nice. I need to get the Detroit green paint into my paint ‘stock’. I like this build. I might need to get one of these. 😉
