Outstanding, well done, great fleet

Nice progress

I like your idea on the mud flaps, little detail and they will look way better than the molded part. May steal your idea.

Ever have one of those days where nothing goes right, today is mine. I double checked to make sure my tape was stuck down really well, maybe my tape is old or ……….who knows. I could scream, wait for it to dry totally, sand it down and start over.

Wow, that is really a sharp build, well done. Love those old Mack’s.

Can’t wait to see your Workstar build, it’s fun and challenging chasing down all the correct parts.

A mistake on my part, I thought the Mack cab was 1:25 scale, it is not, rather 1:24. I will be using the Mack Superliner (in my stash) as the donor kit. Ordered new 1:24 air lift non steering and steering air lift axle from A&N. Wide front tires and wheels ordered from ST Supply and miscellaneous other stuff coming. Assuming I can use the engine and drive axles from the Superliner

Is the trailer scratch built or did you have something to start from?

The build really looks the part, well done

Love the progress

Really like where this is going, great project.

Thank you

Thanks guys for looking

Fabrication work finished on rear fenders, first two coats of paint applied. Next wet sand rear fenders and apply final coat, finish paint work on front fenders.

Wow, well done

Well done

Nicely done, like the color combo.

Scratch building is so rewarding, the skill to build something not offered and to allow creativity, fun to watch your builds.

By the front bumper I would say an old Mack, but the suspension in the rear doesn’t Say Mack but I can’t see it well. Love those tires, where did you get them? Size?

Quick mock-up, new cab, modified hood/grill and custom built sleeper

Grill molded into the hood, first color going on.

Classic build, well done, love the theme.

Thanks

That looks really good

Molding the grill into the hood as this was how the real truck was done. Removed the molded in Kenworth logos from the hood, will use photo etched logos. Filled the holes in the cab for the aero shields so I can run exhaust stacks from Auslowe. Order a flashing yellow light bar for sleeper roof. Built a simple headache rack to protect the back of the sleeper. Some final details for the custom built sleeper. Changing the front bumper as well. Removed the crappy fuel tanks and battery boxes on the frame, will come up with something better. Will add diamond plate walkway on the frame, will follow the theme of the last few trucks I have built with color and build
