Awesome work, Jose. Those pics of the dash are just amazing!!!! ( Love the mike and cord) Randy

more details for the firewall, fuel filter, heater details and the brake m.c. ..... That is all for now, thank you for checking in!! Randy

A sloopy worker's best friend!! test fit of both pieces together... adding some rivet detail and test fitting the shifters, I need the extra one for the two speed rear axle..

When I am soldering something together like this, it is easy if the parts are held together securely and all I have to do is apply heat. I work on a piece of Homosote building board. It is a pressed paper product. I like it 'cause it holds pins well and acts as a heat sink. A piece of ceiling tile would also work. test fit to make sure the battery box clears the motor... test fit of the heater hoses... Cab floor...

Thank you to all that commented!!! It is really cool to read your comments A couple of replies.. Jeremy, No r/c , I just like the solder! Danno, Sorry,the shifter does not move the linkage! Fastback, Sorry, kinda slow going here Erik, Tried to show more of the process this time... Last update I ended with a mockup of the firewall, will continue with that and also the cab floor... Mock up, using K & S Eng. copper and tin sheet stock. Both solder easy and are soft & easy to work with..

Hi Greg, Really impressive what you've done with this one!!! That grill is great Randy
