Love to see that picture, and yes thar was were I was going to mount them. The air suspension leaves no room for air tanks. Pic would be helpful.

That would make a great heavy hauler, will be watching

Lovin that detail

Warning for the purists; I am reshaping the front fenders to get rid of the coffee table in front of the fenders, and building a custom bumper. Also getting rid of the bugeye headlights.

Progress today. More work on the grill, frame ready for paint and bunch of other parts ready for primer. Oh yes, the fenders are ready for primer/paint. Get the heat turned up in the garage and sniff paint tomorrow.

We don’t need no stinking rules,🤣😂😜🥴 build it your way and have fun. I like to see the creativity from you guys.

Outstanding building my friend

What a cool idea, and build up a 60s Ford gasser to put on the transporter. That would tell a great story. Just my two cents.

Lookin good

Nice progress Scott, fun to watch your fabrication skills

Looking really good, nice detail on those springs

Now this looks like a really fun project

Well done my friend, going to look great on the shelf

Agree with you guys, it is a great time to be in our hobby. For me all kits are great opportunities to be creative and aftermarket parts are better than ever even though we have lost some great suppliers of bodies/parts.

I tend to mimic the local trucks I see here, the logging trucks use a super single on lift axle and duals on drivers. Although I just seen a new logging truck and trailer with super singles all the way around.

Not sure Jeff, this build is very freelance and no rules, so not sure what I may do.

Please post large pictures😂🤣🥴, my old eyes can’t see that size scale. Just kidding, will be watching. Looks like a cool project.

Reworking the grill, a bit custom.

As you know very well, time consuming and bench time this time of the year is a challenge.

Making progress but really not photo worthy. Making all the brackets to mount fenders, the air suspension and fuel tanks are creating impedances. Got the wheels stripped and refinished, grill is stripped and ready for many modifications. Finish fenders and front brakes and chassis is ready for paint. Got to find room for air tanks yet.

Thanks Lee, yup it is frustrating, so the plan now is just keep building with what I have. I bought another Autocar kit with the plan of another build with the idea of a lowered show truck with custom wheels. For now, just marching on.

Great progress

Good build to watch

Looking good

Wow, I could stare at that for hours, sure does tell a good story.
