AMT Ford LN 8000

[OldTrucker]

Just getting started on a tractor for the tank trailer.

This thing is going to be a pain to clean up too!

It is the recent snow plow release. Lots of parting lines and flash to clean up!

Mixed my own cat yellow using testers enamel. Used flat yellow and a few drops of tangerine.

Adding pickup rails on the back of the frame.

We'll have to rename you The Janitor because you're always cleaning up! These old kits come with a cost. I'm sure you'll make a great job of it.

Looking forward to the direction you chose w the Blue Oval

[OldTrucker]

A little more done.

Getting ready for the white base color.

Roof will be same as the top of the trailer, orange thought about blue along the bottom of the cab but the frame is probably enough.

Didn’t want you to think I was a know it all or an arm chair expert. I just love trucks and have had some tome with them.

Interior done, pretty basic.

[Gary Chastain]

Looks very appropriate, well done

[OldTrucker]

Decided to keep the exhaust under the frame. Added a little length and a slight turndown.

Nice work so far

Really like your weed burner exhaust arrangement

Got the color on the cab last night.

Looks nice! Neat work!

Getting drive wheels and tires done.

I use tissues or napkins rolled to keep the tires spread to fit the wheels plus have never had a wheel go flat from sitting.

Nice old school trick. Updates look good. 

[OldTrucker]

Got the front wheels on and grill and headlights in.

Going to be a good looking unit, especially hooked up to your trailer.

[OldTrucker]

Getting closer.

It is in the finished category now along with the tank trailer.
