Brian,,,,,whattaya think,,,,my next project? I can take some pointers from ya 😉

Thanks Victor

Thanks Dom!

Thanks Charles ! Always a new blade,,,I get the big pack of 100 ,,,,and watch out for those Chinese knock off X-Acto blades and knives ! junk!

I know BMF had a lot of bad batches that got out because of that issue,,I was planning on masking it off and using Revell chrome spray ,,,but because the hood may be handled a bit I decided to go with the foil,,I have a Mack bulldog to go on it but that will be last ,,,I'd like to find a cast pewter one instead of the resin one I have ,,,pretty fragile

A little more progress........... shot the cab / hood / body with clear yesterday ,,did a little more detail on the engine,,today I did Bare Metal on the hood and blacked out the grill

No problem Lee

All coming together Lee! Nice!!

I was considering doing that but the other pump worked out fine ,,,,,,I'm trying to keep this snowball from getting bigger than it has,,,,,lol 🙂

Brian yup it fit fine,,,I just shaved off the molded in cover/bolts on the Allison ,, I could have used the bigger 2 stage pump too but the orientation of the ports would put the hyd hoses/fittings into the frame ,,I'll use that one on a truck mounted knuckle boom crane I have on my to-do list

yeah you can say that again,,,,I got some coming from Paul at ST when he gets them in ,,,comes with the orange airline

I use CTM zip ties ,,,the new CTM brake valve set was just released ,might not be available yet.Yes the air dryer is from CTM also . There are a lot of vendors out there that carry CTM's stuff,,you have to shop around

If your referring to the above pics with the orange air lines those came from the CTM website advertising their new air brake valve detailing set

.............that's like a Freightliner ,,,, all the wiring is white and the air lines are yellow ,,,,lol

Your stuff is right up there buddy! ,,,,,,,I think they have more cable clamps than you though....lol !

I just got an email from CTM with the new brake valve kit they came out with,,,,hey I just throw a few here and there but >> HOLY CHIT!

Did a little more today,after a few hours at work,,had to take a Paramedic truck to University Hospital in Newark,,,,,,,,,,rigged up some CAC piping and hoses,,,started to put CTM hose clamps on ,,,like threading a needle! Rad hoses on too,,,,ran harness from alt and ECM ,,a couple more decals ,,,made the "FLEET SERVICES" on inkjet decal paper and put those on ,,,needs some more Micro Sol and then I'll hit it with clear. Laid the boom on the deck for ya

That old Binder looks great Charles!

Looks good Lee

yep....the building was always immaculate with a big bulldog sign out front,,,,,,,,,,,and the Mack dealer we always got our stuff from,Glashofer Mack on Rt1 in Edison is long gone too,,,they had a huge Mack Truck logo with the bulldog on a billboard on their roof ,,,,that was torn down and the Cambria Company took the dealership and moved to another part of town along with selling Volvos Cambria Truck Center - With Locations in Edison & Elizabeth, NJ - Truck Dealership with Parts, Service and Financing

That spray paint came from the old Mack Parts Distribution Center in Somerset (Bridgewater ) N.J. 5 minutes from my house,,,,,sadly is no more demolished years ago

.......ohh and I nailed the engine in,,,,going to be a real trick coming up with the charge air cooler tubes and hoses....forgot to take a pic,,,tomorrow
