Love those old Macks. This one will make a fine historical model. Will be waiting to see the finished unit!

Looking forward to this!

Cool and unique.

[mackinac359]

Neat. The C600 Mack's look cool in any configuration.

Scott,

Any updates on this build?

[Scott S]

Thats funny, cause i just started working on it today, i got so wrapped up in project 53 and the vintage 359/fruehauf builds i just kinda put it on the back burner.(just to many i wanna build and no time) i'll have some pic's next weekend. i'm working on the frame and getting the cab and dump bed to line up and look right, then i'll build the suspension and drive line from there. i think its gonna be neat when its done.

Thanks for looking, Scott

Lookin' good so far.

The driver might need a step ladder to climb into that thing

Seriosly though I like it !!

[Jim B]

Nice looken build there. What did you use to paint the Tires with i have some resin wheels to paint but no clue what to paint them with to make them look real

[Scott S]

Testors makes a "rubber" paint, kind of a brownish black, seems to decent job. makes um look like weathered rubber.

Many people use Tamiya NATO Black.

[The Modeling Hermit]

This is an impressive build. I will be watching for the finished project.

[Scott S]

Well after a near disaster i got back to a little work on the "C" ( i knocked the cab off a shelf and it broke into about 10 pc's, its an older MTFA casting and was very fragile.) lowered the cab on the frame and moved it back, dropped the head board height, and gotthe whole truck down a bit. now it sits much better. got plow frame mounted also

little by little its getting there...

Scott

[SpreadAxle]

Cool. This will be a nice build when finished.

[Scott S]

Couple more pic's..

was a little skeptical it was'nt gonna look right, now with the plow rig mounted and cab and bed sitting in better position, i'm feeling btr about it. on to the mtr/trans, then finish cab work and choose a color. was thinking orange and black..Ideas anybody?

thanks Scott

Scott,

If you have in mind a workhorse look, then I agree with orange/black combo.

But what about a working/custom/show truck painted in metalic color(s) showing the condition of the truck after a heavy general restoration?

thats from me

Got some paint on er to see if i like it, trying orange w/silver metalic chassis. think i like it, cab still needs more bodywork but it's starting to look pretty gud if i my say so..lol

Kostas, thanks for the idea, i kinda mixed the two..

I like the orange and silver. They go well together and the suit the ol dog.
