I know what I'm going to build, now, Guys...

An International Prostar with a race trailer to haul...Y'all know the one, and you know what color it's going to be, too....

It just came to me that that is what I should be doing... Provided I still remember how to build a model, anyway... ?

And the race trailer will be similar to this one.... Thanks to Dustin (Fieldguy06) for the suggestion...

Looking good! I’ve built 3 of these rigs, absolutely love them. I only used your roof cut out idea on the first one though. They have such a great interior, it’s a shame you can’t see much of it once the cab is assembled.

Looks great so far! Looking forward to seeing more, I love racing haulers!

Thanks, Guys... I really like this truck, too... It's one of my favorite offerings, as well... I appreciate you guys chiming in....

I extended the frame a couple of inches, as the stock frame is just too short.... It only needs about a half an inch, but this is going to be a decked out race rig, so we need more "cow bell", here, for sure... I might even add a drom box or something like the example 1:1 rig I have pictured at the beginning of this thread...

Oh, and I de-chromed the tanks, as well....

Ok.... Here's what I'm thinking, Guys.... Gonna try a little something new.... A blue frame to add a little pop to my orange.... Inspired by a couple of other builds I've been checking out.... I'm kinda diggin' it....?

Time to revive this seriously stalled project... I, literally, had to brush the spider webs off this thing...

It's taken 3 extra months, but here is the progress, made thus far....

I finally built the interior and engine...

These engines always look good once installed...

And painted the bumper... Needs a little clean up...

JT glad to see you back working on this build. Have you started on the trailer yet?

I have, actually... Got the profile work done... I'll have to post pics of that, I suppose... But mainly just cut out the sides... I'll have a couple up, soon...

I hope you're doing well, these days...
