lol after you get those all biult, we gonna have to remind you of the modern day trucks theyve used. lol you might wanna think about just casting your own box trailer pannels, and hand biuld the rest cause that will be EXPENSIVE, lol i see those doubles go for $50 to $90 a piece. and will you biuld any trains???? hee hee hee lol you gonna be busy , but im sure youll enjoy. have fun ill be watching this one close!! dennis

how about kenworth daycab, ih 4070 daycab, frieghtliner coe sleeper single drive, and the white road boss? lol just a few suggestions of trucks theyve used. not like your busy with 4 other biulds right now, lol!!

are ya gonna cast the whole motor, or just the turbo intake section? i never new those lil fords were 3208 cats till last weak lol. dennis

great biuld tim!!! dennis

as far as decals have you talked to jerry "phoneguy" at modeltruckin.com yet? good luck choosing a color , lol just make sure you buy enouph of it when you decide cause there is alot of truck to paint !! lookin great so far dennis

that is a good idea, think it will work with coors light cans too?? lol thanks for the tip dennis

slowly but surely makin progress on the day cab, frames painted ford blue sonic pearl, still need to install brake chambers, tanks, steering. i made my own exhaust and breather and the rack to hold them upright.the stack is a old style 6" strait with side blow, the breather tube also is a 6" strait tube. i didnt putty the angles on the stack so it kinda looks like welds the way they used to make em. the tanks will be white with blue caps. still have to rout the exhaust from motor to stack, and breather from canaster to super charger. it has a 290 8-v detroit / 13 speed. the tires and rims are temporary. any suggestions please?? as far as the cab goes, i had to strip the paint and start all over with body work . lol hopefully i get it right this next go around. and i found out the putty does not last thru a soaking in super clean, so i am back to square 1 lol!! i got the exhaust and air breather tube all plumed in, wow kind of a chore and about 6 differant peices to make the angles work.

thats a nice biuld, what ya gonna have pullin it? dennis
