    Still more to do but coming along nicely. The color is actually more red but comes out orange in photos

    Got the interior done. Added gauges, flocking, turn signal switch, ignition switch(and keys), map, coffee cup, and sunglasses. Also swapped out the shifter for a different one

    Got the chassis built. Tried to make it more interesting adding fuel and brake lines. Exhaust is comprised of solder, wire connectors, and a parts box muffler. Side exit exhaust to copy a 1:1 truck i found online.added a second fuel tank( was a factory option).

    My friend had one in a 62 gmc and they are huge! That's pretty wild, I read they weigh more than a bbc

    Thank you! I think an all color mack is an iconic look. The garage was actually a gift from a good friend so I like to use it as my back drop for photos now

    Finally wrapped this one up. Pretty much box stock. I did add the McLean decals , shorten the frame, and built a different exhaust stack

    Got the motor built with parts from the parts box engine and the kit engine.

    Gonna combine the kits 440 with an old revell 440. The kits 440 is really an uninspiring lump of plastic, it's gonna donate its oil pan, transmission and pulley system. The revell 440 is alot more detailed,but it's from the 49 mercury kit. So it has a ford transmission that will have to go

    Gonna see if I can do something with this. If the hemi doesn't fit, I've got a few other options. Got a 3d grill to back date it to a 73-75
