Thanks for the reply Randy.......looks like I need to head back into the railroad section of my local hobby shop! Those pullies look great, and the Tamiya yellow tape painted black looks just right.

Thank you to all that commented!!! It is really cool to read your comments :lol::lol:

A couple of replies..

Jeremy, No r/c , I just like the solder!

Danno, Sorry,the shifter does not move the linkage!

Fastback, Sorry, kinda slow going here :lol:

Erik, Tried to show more of the process this time...

Last update I ended with a mockup of the firewall, will continue with that and also the cab floor...

Mock up, using K & S Eng. copper and tin sheet stock. Both solder easy and are soft & easy to work with..

When I am soldering something together like this, it is easy if the parts are held together securely and all I have to do is apply heat. I work on a piece of Homosote building board. It is a pressed paper product. I like it 'cause it holds pins well and acts as a heat sink. A piece of ceiling tile would also work.

I am quitting building modelcars man.

I have seen some sick stuff over the years, models of whatever where I did not know if model or real, 1:9 Pocher stuff that some dude used to build a metal car, scratchbuilds of mchinery that makes you sick, cars that looked so real that i was sure somebody photographed ral vehicle, but this is just unbelivable. Blows my mind...
