  1. oh boy! ijust saw the finished truck i never imagine it was that bad. you did a major overhaul.and it turned super nice.
  2. love the details on it. Excellent work! apart from us no one knows all the work that goes in our models.
  3. wow love this Mack R!!! that's a project that i want to do someday. i see now that the ford snowplow dump box fits the mack frame easily. or you extended it? very nice Thanks for sharing.
  4. i like what you've done. and especially that cabover peterbilt on the top shelf looks like it has a green stripe?? hope we gonna see it someday when time will permit..
  5. very nice i like it a lot. from the back i never saw a coe with only one window in the back. looks like a pirate! but love the idea of beeing different and exclusive. love the small detail on the 5th wheel the release handle you've made. + the mud flaps hangers nice touch also with the cat engine, instead of the usual detroit.
  6. i like your truck ,plain and simple beige color, spoke wheels and short wheelbase. the less chrome the more beautiful it is. congrats on your build.
  7. it shure looks better than before,Great job!! love the smaller rounded fuel tanks.
  8. Congrats for choosing green. i love this color. well done.
  9. it will be refreshing to see a d8 red instead of the usual yellow. Good call!!
  10. love those kw's can't wait to see it! do you have some plans as for the colors? or you'll do the version that's on the box?
  11. yes i guess so. on the engine; secondary and the primary is the one mounted on the firewall. fuel coming from the tanks goes at the primary,then secondary or" final", then to the fuel pump on engine,then to the injection pump.
  12. yes part #18 or is the secondary the one mounted on the rad on right side . primary fuel filter is to catch all the debris/dirt from the fuel tank, secondary fuel filter is going to the fuel pump since fuel has been filtered twice before going into engine. usually fuel filters are mounted close together. i never saw live this kind of mounting.. i could be wrong as the one on the rad could be primary and the one on engine would be secondary... part #116or, that you circled is the power steering reservoir .the two tip that it has on the bottom is for 2 oil lines ,since it has 2 steering box.other lines goes at the power steering pump on engine.
  13. Thanks i'm happy that i could help a little. the exhaust pipe that i installed is some scrap plastic that i bent using a lighter.i know , it's not right in the real world but for me it was easier than fitting the exhaut pipe glued to the crossmember like they show in the instruction. i installed it once the exhaust was all set and dry. once done you can test fit the other to the one attached to the muffler. look at those pictures you'll see the pipe going under on both sides since it's a detroit engine as we have in our kits.also as you can see the mounting for the muffler is not the same. still the crossover pipe goes under..
  14. ok ,i just went downstairs and snap some pics for you, as for your exhaust questions, that i hope will be a little help..
  15. one or the other it will look nice..
  16. nice old looking truck. and what about the frame... red, black,brown or tan/beige like the cab???
  17. i just love a flatbed with buds looks great!
  18. yes they are the short one is the fuel water separator and the other one is a primary fuel filter.
  19. 16 &18 are fuel filters, and 116 is the power steering reservoir ... if i'm wrong then somebody out here on the forum will correct me.
  20. lots of work allready. resin kits are a not easy to do. but i see that you are on a path that you've been to. keep it up!
  21. wow you're fast! don't forget to sand the tire treads..
  22. Your workbench is a lot like mine. lots of space but only working in a tight area like 12x12! or less. as i can see your doing really good so far. even after a year of not not building .. you see, it's all coming back. hope your having fun building it, and looking at your work once you've completed some steps. it's all satisfying work.
