  1. Here is a drawing I use, not sure how accurate, but a good generic diagram.
  2. Looks really good, will this be a curbside build?
  3. Will be a fun and challenging project. Look forward to your progress reports.
  4. Good progress today, now to finish fitting the hood to the body
  5. All those details bring it to life, nicely done.
  6. Chassis painted, wheels on, mounting fenders and fuel tanks.
  7. Outstanding build, great 1:1 match
  8. Man…..does that look good, well done
  9. Now that build is just plain cool, love it, well done
  10. Same problem, New tablet and can’t switch some pages, cannot get into page 2 or further on WIP big rigs
  11. That’s gonna be a good looking rig.
  12. OMG, that took a bit of patience and time, not perfect. Need a slower drying supper glue. Got to cut the aluminum fender axles to length, later. Will complete this build with air lift axle up, fenders are adjusted in height
  13. One fender took me an hour, only 5 more to go. I had to square and flatten the bottoms of the fenders, remove all the flash from the fender brackets and frame brackets, take the sharp edge of the aluminum rods and the backs on the small parts. Marked which holes I will use in the fixture so I can repeat the process 12 times. I pencil marked where glue needs to be applied, using super glue. The spacing fixtures work well after you flatten the bottoms and remove flash from the tops. After glueing frame brackets I drilled a .062 hole thru the frame to better support the aluminum rods as the holes in the frame brackets are a little oversized and the fender drops down. Now the rods have a longer contact to the frame. my big fat fingers and old eyes are the biggest challenges.
