Received the tires and steering rims. Need 10 road tread tires for the trailer, need four wide front rims and four wide tires for steering axles. What I am short yet is 10 wide rear singles for the trailer.

Starting to get all the parts in, steering lift axles and tag air lift axles just came today from A&N. First time using their parts.

Great build, well done

What’s going on with the bench today. Building lifting clevis for the tank from aluminum craft wire.

This is Cooper, he has to go everywhere I go and invades my space. Cooper turned 3 on Sunday.

Thank you, still got a ways to go.

That’s a sharp truck, nicely done

Agree, those details really bring life to a build. One of the aspects of building that I have put little effort into is creating decals. I really need to start putting effort into that aspect for sure. Learning how to add weathering would be my next shortcoming. The excitement of learning new techniques is what keeps us building the next project.

Enjoy watching your builds, nothing is off limits to modify ?well done

Tank finished, maybe a couple small details, but done. Next to build load straps from photo etched parts (3 on tank, 2 on pallet) and also build strap bars for the trailer to hold down load.

Outstanding detail

Very cool project

Thanks David, agree the crate would look more appropriate if it had labeling, just not sure how to do that. Any suggestions would be helpful. I may do an antique wash on the crate to give it a worn well used look.

Good progress

Lookin really good

Load for the trailer is coming together. All of the parts finally arrived and assembled. First coat of primer on, tomorrow will do some finish work and paint.

Very nice

Wow, beautiful build, very classic

Doing some digging (https://www.renderhub.com/driverua/ford-h-series-hdt-950-semi-truck-sleeper-cab-1961)and found the year as a 1961. The kit you bought represents the truck really well.

What year of truck would this represent? I like what you are doing with this kit.

Lookin good, well done

Sharp build, well done

Thanks David, really enjoy these heavy hauler builds.

Very nice build

Mounts made to put tank on trailer, got the pallet made for the installation parts for the tank. The railing for the top of the tank arrived but the ladder and safety cage did not. This will hold up installing the fill tube, as the railing and ladder must be installed first. The strap kits are here as well
