Dave, Thanks and yes I'll be building the correct tanker. But, I'm only using the stills from the movie for referencing the tanker. Because, the one from St. Louis dump truck is the only surviving of like 3 or 4 trucks leftover from the actual movie. And they were different from the main movie truck, as were some of the added scenes to make the movie 90 mins.


So far my plans are for it to have a fully working butterfly hood, opening doors, working headlights, and turn signals.

Looks great so far!!! I really appreciate your attention to detail on the cab.

It has been a long time since I have seen the movie but I think because of the several trucks aren't some of them slightly different too? Details details details! Looks great so far.
