No……..

Ah……. Thats much better …

Ah……. N O !!!!

This just gets cooler and cooler

The stack was the first thing that caught my eye, that is spot on, I have seen a few just like that and the oil and grime on the drive wheels is perfect.... super cool job, it looks every bit of your vision... well worked but not abused....

I totally agree with Lee, it sure looks the part, and a HUGE departure from the camper... WAY better.... take a bow !

Good catch , Steve, although the front end looks like it hit a Moose, at speed ...

Just .................. W O W !! That is really sharp.... no detail missed ! Super nice job... I love it !

Thanks, pal.... I'm hopeful that will transfer under a splash of paint...

Thanks for that Frank, there are so many different systems out there. I am thinking I want a good shifter with the actual 18 spd style …. Hi Lo and splitter. A good set of pedals and thinking of a force feed back wheel …. BYW. The red Pete fits the bill too 😉

That would be good. Any deal where the cost is down helps as our Canadian ‘dollar’ isn’t worth anything now. 🙄

That is exactly what I was wanting to know Dusty. I am really leaning into getting it. Just need to a little more research. Thanks for your input

Thats cool , Lee. Amazing what small thing can trigger a fond memory. One more addition to model building. Neat story too …..

I’m so far behind I think I’m ahead

Great up date bud … seems as I have to up my game again🤭🤣 good stuff , pal. Love the air valves ….

YUMMMMM This is gonna be GOOD !!!

Thanks , Ron !

The added carriage bolts, …..

That is such a cool kit, I wish it would be re-released again, but the $300 price tag for a current copy is a bit rich for me, one can only hope.... this makes into a really cool truck right out of the box, I will be watching this one with GREAT interest............... front row for me !!

Well, the only KW cab over I’ve driven was a ‘63 day cab with a 12513 and a 225 Cummins, not a real pleasant ride as I recall.

No I didn’t. Not a cab over guy, personally. I just saw the upgrade and thought it was kind of cool ….

Thats the important one in my eyes….

Thanks Steve , yeah I came to basically the same conclusion as you after talking it over with Ron. And thinking about it, as you say those ideas went through my mind and your observations are well taken and make good sense. And your take on bench time and escape from the world is SPOT ON! Doing this takes my mind away and wit a little imagination, I am at a much simpler time and enjoy ‘playing trucks’ again. Lower BP is always a good thing. Thanks for checking , Mate

More technical engineering and ‘bar raising’ …. This is a very cool project. Did ‘glass’ come with the cab conversion? I really like this. And am following along in the back row …..

THAT….. my friend is absolutely COOL !!! Full points for this one , it looks really sweet, I love it !!! It will be just perfect with the Pete. A perfect truck and pup set up. Super cool JM !!! And a great way to cover and make the tank with folding the metal, a real shot at realism. GOOD job !!
