Thank you Steve. My intent is to build it as an independent transport service. I think the decals on the tractor will match well enough with the signboard on the trailer. Hopefully, along with the color, tying the whole rig together visually. David G.

Thank you! I think my LHS carries this line. =D-

It looks great Daniel! It's been such a grand adventure following along as you continued to add mind-blowing detail after mind-blowing detail. Thank you for taking the time to photograph and explain each step. I also appreciate your kind and thoughtful responses to all of our comments and questions. I'm looking forward to seeing the final photos. Just wondering... do you already have another project in mind? David G.

Thank you kindly Germán. Thanks Carl, I appreciate that. David G.

Hello Everybody! Circumstances have kept me away from "The Boards" for a few weeks but now I'm back... at least for a while. It took a couple of build sessions but the upper deck ramps are all in place. I even got the safety pins, chains and steps installed. I had to use some repurposed jewelry chain because I misjudged cutting the ramp tiedown chains and came up short. Sometime between build sessions the safety pin on this side went missing so I fashioned one from a paperclip. I'm thinking about trimming the length on both of the pins. They seem to intrude into the loading space a little too much for my liking. I found a space on this old bookcase to display the rig when it's completed. That's always the thing with builds like this... where to put them when they're done! I'll have to pretty it up a bit but it'll do. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

That they do! The tail lights always reminded me of those add-on trailer lights from the Sixties. So I guess since these lights are from the Sixties... the car is still ahead of its time! =D-

I'm amazed by your engineering and fabrication skills Dan. Impressive work so far. Enjoy your time off. David G.

Holy Moley! I miss a few meetings and see what happens? That's a fabulous finish to a long and involved build Daniel! As I was catching up, I was at first a little worried when I saw the orange-peeley paint but you put an amazing polish on it, impressive! An amazingly inspirational build Daniel! David G.

That's shaping up quite nicely Joe! Seeing your work on this one almost makes me want to build another aircraft. ...almost. ...mmmm... Maybe just a small kit. Nothing too fancy. David G.

Fabulous looking interior Steve! I especially like the dash configuration and the gauges. The decals are awesome! I think Roger would be flattered and suitably impressed. David G.

@Cool Hand I love that color Luke! May I ask what is is? I think it would look on the Moebius Plymouth Satellite. Thanks, David G.

It looks like you've made some great progress on this Carl. I like your treatment for the tail lights and the color will look fantastic. I'm a little confused about your plans for the header tubes. You plan on just keeping them as a design feature with no connection to the engine or exhaust, yes? David G.

Oh yeah, enamel paint. I normally avoid it just for that reason. Now I'll have to give it a try just because of that reason. Great idea Karl! I'll have to play around with some enamel paint with flocking and embossing powder to see if I can develop a workable system for myself to use. Thanks for that Karl. =D-

Nice work on the carpet @64SS350 ! I have such a difficult time getting good results like that, that I almost never do carpet any more. It's a shame that, most likely nobody will ever see it again. Thanks for sharing this. David G.

Those are some fabulous added features @BK9300! I can only imagine the extra time and effort it took to build and install all that! 😮 Very cool! Thanks for posting it. David G.

Wow @Steve H ! An in-dash factory installed 8-track?! 😮 Those are super rare in those Sixties Oldsmobiles! Excellent details all! Thanks for taking the time to post this Steve. David G.

Thank you kindly Steve. David G.

Thank you so much Brian. Thank you Gary. Knowing some of the amazing work you've, that means a lot to me. David G.

Hello Everybody! Due to a number of reasons I haven't had much of a chance to work on my builds lately. But I did manage to get a good coat of Tamiya TS-19 Metallic Blue sprayed on the cab. I'm pleased with how it turned out but now I see that the hood and fenders will need another coat to darken them up a little. I also got the grille and headlights properly cleaned up and primed. I'll need to decide how I want to "re-chrome" them. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

A very tidy build, love the frosty green! Thanks for posting it. =D-

Hello Everybody! While I sort out what to do about the paint flaws on the body, I decided to address some of the other tasks that need done. The kit chrome has been stripped from the external header tubes. After filing away the seams I had to re-sculpt the grooves that were under them. Once that was done, I primed and sprayed the tubes with Rust-Oleum metallic chrome paint. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post any comments you may have. David G.

Thanks Bob. It does have a few trouble spots I'm still working out but I'll get there. Yeah, wide whites are pretty much a requirement for a car of this vintage. David G.

Thank you kindly Carl. Thank you Steve. I think I'm going to see what a quick polish can do for it. It does look pretty good already and I'm the only one it has to please. Which is where most of the problem lies Thanks for your encouragement Steve. =D-

That's so cool! So the cured clear is the reason that the decals look kind of frosty? I occasionally make my own decals, I'll have to keep it in mind about working the clear before it fully cures. I always learn something new when following your WIPs Daniel. David G.

Good progress on this Dan. It's going to fun watching you sort all this out. It must have been a nerve-wracking task to load trailers like this in real life. David G.
