Thanks Steve. The loci in the picture is Canadian National 6400 Northern. Built back in 1936. Started to build one, but sold it when I moved here from Ontario. Would be nice to have now. Always my favorite.

Xllnt work Rob.

How you gonna fashion a tailgate lock? Ya need one of them.

A little tip to improve your traction (especially when empty and tugging your pup) and to lock the tire to the rim without gluing is to add air rifle BB's.

That looks pretty nifty Rob and I like how you made your pintle plate too. Lots of trick ideas already on this trk.

Is that pintle from PMD?

I really like the speed and the power of the box. Can't wait to see it loaded up.

Almost time to start another project....

Just thought that I'd put up a couple of teasers till I get all the chrome on her.


I'll try to get the rest of the pictures up when she's finished.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks Lou, Jordy, Jason and Fred for the comments on the build. Really enjoyed building this truck as my first. As most of you know I'm into anything that moves or has wheels. Already started on the trailer and that will have some unique things on it to make it different. I finally got the truck finished and am pleased with the way it turned out. Only have to get the FWD decals made and applied and it's finished. Here's some more pictures.



The windshield wipers were the hardest part of the build and I think it took about eight tries to get them close to right.
Thanks for looking.
Rob

Nice one of a kind truck! The windshield wipers looks real good, can you get us a close up photo?? Are they made from brass profiles (K&S)? (Need to do some to my D8).
