You guys come up with cool material/ideas for your builds

Sweet, haven’t seen one of these built, will be watching.

Nice build, it really tells a good story, well done.

I have this kit but was undecided what to do with it, like you. Like your ideas, will be watching.

Between camping trips and summer projects, I did get my new top cut down to seven feet, added the third toolbox and got everything installed. Now I need a finish on the top and then time to reorganize all my stuff. May add a center light on the main bench, as my longer bench spreads out my two lights. Gotta be ready for modeling season (when the weather turns cold in northern Michigan).

Well done on the front axle, might steal some ideas from that.

Detail is paying off, looking good

I have been MIA for a while. The wife and I have been exploring Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming this summer and also my brand new Jeep is kicking my ………. All kinds of computer issues with it. But anyway, the modeling has not left my mind. My bench cracked right down the middle and everything rocks on the old bench top. So I bought a new bench top and a Craftsman toolbox to slide under the bench. The new bench top will be about a foot longer than the old one but hey, who doesn’t need more bench space. Gotta wait till it cools down a bit to get up to my hobby room to tear everything apart, rebuild my bench and hopefully do a better job of organizing my stuff.

Sorry Ron, not sure how I missed this. I did pickup the cross country as well, it has a much better frame without the molded on suspension and will use that kit instead.

Those trailer builds are really cool.

Lookin good

Very interesting project, excited to see where this goes.

Tuff kit to build, but you have got a good handle on it. Will be watching.

Heal up quickly

Great progress

What a great build, well done

Lookin so good, love that detail

Creative build

Fantastic work, you got some serious skills

Thanks, will get some ordered when he gets back from vacation, his site suggests no shipping until he returns.

Hey Ron, where did you find those gladhands? Really like the fact they actually connect.

Wow Jeff, the detail on such an unusual build is outstanding

Looks really good

I have used the Krylon leather colors, I actually like the sheen and kinda represents leather really well, looks good on your build.

Very first truck I learned to drive. Twin screw pulling a grain trailer. Well that’s the only good memory I have of that truck, just beat me to death. Your build brings back memories, really like what you are building, will be watching.
