Detailing is telling a great story, well done. -
Resto Rod Autocar
Gary Chastain replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Fitting the inter cooler lines to the larger turbo. It is a tight fit but does fit under the hood, barely. Now to detail them out and reinstall. Motor is in for the last time, radiator installed, next all the water/heater lines. Exhaust is going to be a challenge. -

This is gonna be one of those builds that when finished, you have to sit and stare at it for about an hour because it tells such a good story. Gonna be good. -

Thanks Scott those are good ideas, another option could be to run a brace back to the frame under the front fender apron -

Detailing done on the interior, a look thru the back window. Now I wish I had finished the back of the seats, but not seen when assembled. -

Broke another rule, I chromed the steering column and steering wheel. Also got my tall shifter made and installed. The one I seen on the interweb had a blue custom transparent shifter knob, so I cut down a red runner from a parts tree and polished the top. -

Wanted the chrome for radiator clamps, let ya know how that goes. Second, one of my favorite truck color combos is a black truck with silver panels and really thin red pinstripe between the black and gray, hence the tape. -

The finger nail tape arrived today. It measures .035 width and is extremely thin. It comes with 25 roles (3 in various chrome) colors. Some colors I will never use but for the 5 bucks I spent, I’ll just toss them. Will do some experiments to see how this stuff works or I wasted 5 bucks. -

Now ya gotta add spray nozzles to the cowl. I thought you would eventually run out of ideas for detailing, oooohhh silly me. 😂🤣 -
Mack Superliner
Gary Chastain replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
From a design perspective, that truck has a lot of square lines to it. Just my 2 cents, I think square headlights would look good. -
