Had a little photo shoot at the truck show with the real A Model and a custom built DCP of the A Model a guy made and the owner of Largecar Mag was taking picks of them with the 1:1 for the Mag..

Awesome! Paul did you build this truck for Tracy, or for yourself, just as a replica? I'd have a hard time letting one like this go, if it was for someone else. Between this KW and your IH COE, I can't decide which I like better. This is one of my favorites though. Beautiful truck, in every way!

This truck is fantastic! The comparison is great, too! It shows how realistic and accurate it is! I agree with Nathan, these rigs are incredible! :D

Paul,

I didn't get to go outside and see the photo shoot I had to watch the booth for the DCP guy to go outside with you. Very nice. I love the long hood on that truck and the great detail you did on it all Great job.

I will let you know on Thursday if I'm going over to Walcott. I passed the info on the hotel to my buddy. If I come over I will be bring Teddy with me Quomone.

Awesome build
Wade

Hey Big D sorry I missed your comment.. Thanks much for the great comment no I am not big on selling any of my trucks I have learned my lesson it is too hard to see your builds wrecked when you sell them the owner of this truck is hot on getting it but he dont have a very good chance either..

Whats next? have to finish the Hot Irons, I have 2 other show trucks for clients I am also working on I have enuff parts to build 3 more trucks for myself then I am done building new trucks for myself just going to work on details for there on out on what I have.. I have finally reached a goal I have had for a long time so picks to come on that..

I really wish i could sit down and pick your brain on some of your technique. So many great trucks, and each one looks better then the last.
