Very cool. They don't make like that anymore! Great job!

Good lookin wagon! I like the candy stripes (dot tape) down the sides they look perfect. This would look sweet behind that Pete ya just built!

Lookin great!! The details are amazing! Great job Ron!

This build is gonna be awesome. Depending how yours turns out I might order one haha. Those pics around that shop are cool too. I bet that stretched out star car is gonna be cool when the get it finished. That old Pete is a looker too! I'm tuned in for this build!

Looking sharp! I knew it was going to come together nicely!

Ya just gotta love an old freight shaker! nice build, great tribute. I like the subtle changes to the cab and the truck overall just looks awesome! I like them little blinders ya put on the headlights too! Very nice touch! Great Job!

This looks different than the one Marvin Heemeyer ran lol. But I like it! Great job on the weathering and what a detailed build!

She looks like a rowdy A-car for sure! Gonna be a sweet build no doubt!

this is so cool. so much detail. going to be a super impressive build Ron!

This is such an impressive build, and as we followed along, the information and the detail you put into how you built is just as amazing as the build itself. Great Job! I'm still waiting to see what you build next!

Carl, Thats brilliant! I never thought about that, instead I just got rid of the cat... 😄

So ound 8 years ago I built a truck up to look like the one I rode in alot as a kid. Pop's 74 W900. It was the coolest thing i remember. He had it repainted in '88 and it was exactly what he wanted. In 94 he had a load of baled tin in his dump trailer and the load shifted going around the clover leaf onto the 76 in Philadelphia. She rolled and there was nothing left to save. The trailer survived. He brought it home where it rests on top of the hill at our scrapyard. I stop and visit it like an old friend time to time. My replica was a proud piece for me... but the wife's cat must not of liked it. He knocked at it and she nose dived off the dresser... I decided to restore it. Moved the passenger side tank back and scratchbuilt a box and step for the passenger side as well. Used a set of 3d printed wheels. Not crazy about them tho. I put the original pics and the new pics.. and I even attached what's left of the old truck on the hill too.

This is just an awesome project. And having everyone come together like this is makes it even better. Awesome work. It's great to see a group of strangers come together and make something so cool.

Looking good Gary. I like the little fixtures you're using for alignment. Very cool. And the truck is going to be awesome!

Steve if you ask me... don't change nothing! It's perfect buddy!
