Congrates to a really nice model, guess it will be better with more details like the airtanks.

thanks Dan ..Still a ways to go ..I Guess we all strive to make a" one of "truck and add those details simular or as close to the 1-1 trucks ..

Thanks Izzy ..Very flattered ..Coming from a master builder as yourself.I kindof wish I had torn the whole thing appart and did a frame up instead of a makeover ..Im impressed with your workhorse as well

It's defintely miles ahead of the stock pieces. Thanks for sharing the trick for fitting the bulbs inside the mirrors. Great thinking on using the metal frame of the mirror to complete the circuit. I might have to borrow that idea.

Thanks Nathan they are far from perfect but I glad you agree they look better.If you got even more creative im sure you could even hide the other wire in some small tubing instead of wire framing ..that was my initial plan..BTW the bulbs are grain of wheat i picked up at the LHS ..I did try them out on a receiver battery and they looked ok ..Thats what this forum is all about ..Sharing ideas , Making new friends , Helping others

Thanks For looking
