Your work is nothing less than stunning Brian......this build was a very tall order with the rare suspension and drive system,  but you knocked it out of the park and then some !......beautiful detailing and workmanship throughout ,....very inspiring....you did it again !!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic rig, Brian - I love those old PIE trucks. I have planned one similar truck (resin cab from spaulding in my stash for some time in the future) - if it would become half as nice as your one, I would be very pleased!

[kilrathy10]

This is an excellent model....Very well done....It is exceptional.....A lot of those old trucks sure do have odd looks to them, but Man, have you ever captured that on this one....Amazing.....Just a well done model.....

Thanks so much JT! Odd trucks seem to be my thing. I planning something a little more common next though.
