Ford Race Car Hauler

Finished fabricating a support and modifying the duct for the air filter.

Modified the front of the body, something like Dan's. A bit of filler & sanding and it will be ready to prime.

I'd say cut them a bit closer to the body, not quite flush. Lookin good man. Nice work so far.

Looking good Pat your air cleaner looks just right. Are you going to add a ladder to get to the upper deck?

I suppose so. I also thought a bit of a guardrail, so when they're half lit they don't fall off.

[Mopar - D]

Pat I thought about the rails to but I'm going to pass on them. But I'm going for the ladder.

[DrKerry]

Now this is looking good!!!!!!!

[JTalmage]

Love the bendy straw exhaust Idea!!! I'd cut maybe an 1/8" or just a touch more off of the tips though. Love it so far!

[landman]

Thanks guys. We now have Glass and some color on the body. Just wishing I had painted the treadplate first and masked it.

Looks nice Pat I taped mine but will still need to paint them. Looking forward to see the back on the frame with the cab.

My first crack at Alclad.

Adapted the Louisville's steering shaft & installed.

Added the tanks, bumper, turn signals. The mirrors were a hard fought battle. I had to improvise and cut off one of the braces to make them fit the N600 cab.

Man, this looks good. I like it as just a cab and chassis, looks cool sittin that way. I'm sure it'll look great with the body on it.

[Mopar - D]

Pat great progress and your Alclad came out nice.

[landman]

Thanks guys. Now I am debating whether to put on the 5 clearance lights on the roof or not.

[Mopar - D]

Do you have any older style clearance lights that you can use? They would go better.

I have been busy with other things. Will get back at it soon.

[landman]

Masked the body and painted the deckplate areas. BMF'd the marker lights and colored the "lenses".Now I'm debatingwhether to BMF the compartment hinges and handles too.

The other day I built a 331 Hemi for my diorama. Its sprues had some interesting curves to them. I think they will become the ladder and railing.

The paint on that body looks excellent. You have really taken this well above the quality of the kit. Its going to look great when completed.

Thanks Terry.

Pat looking good I just posted mine with the handles with BMF. I debated on the hinges also but decided not on them.

[tbill]

looks great, railing material looks like it has some possibilities as well. and I agree, bmf the handles, but not the hinges.
