man I love this Autocar, how hard was it to cut out the doors and get the door panels right? I cut out the doors on my LNT 8000 and It was a pain!

This was pretty thin resin cab, so I don't think the door was any harder then a plastic kit (This was my 1st door opening at that!). I had to shim up cab with 90deg plastruct, as it was too big of a gap once everything was filed square/straight, and had to put in a new piece on the bottom. Here is a in progress of it, I looked back at my inprogress posts and I skipped this pic:

Yeah, that Autocar is an awesome build.....I've opened up ONE door, lifetime.....Not sure if I'll ever do it again, but using Italeri's multipiece cab, it wasn't too bad.....I did it on a Freightliner FLD.....

And thanks, Tom....Those are much better shots....That orange is just too cool....Gotta get a couple of those trailers, like I said, before......Sweet build, Man....

This is a neat idea.I just looked through the builds for the year. Most impressive.You guys did a jam up job on your builds.

Getting me motivated for the rest of the year after my house move.
