Stick a fork in, they’re as done as they’re gonna get.

Very cool!  The tie down chains are a nice touch.

Looks ready to go to the dry lakes and get top time! Great build!

Thanks, The chain came from Michael’s not sure what the original purpose was but it looks right. To get the “under tension” look I super glued it but was stumped on how to loop it over the axels. Then read superglue won’t stick to WD40 so a liberal coating on the axels and success. Now the chains can be removed at will.

Love it! The two vehicles together tell a great story.

Very nice! I followed your WIP on this. I have always wanted to do a belly tank.

Awesome builds!

Both of these are great builds and they make a wonderful tandem. I love how you painted the truck, it gives it the perfect period look of sun faded paint.

Thank you all for the kind words. It certainly was a long and winding road.

Very authentic looking combo. Nice work. Great detailing all around. Thanks for posting.
