The last time I can admire my metal work in a raw state.

Reg,
Absolute work of art mate. How many hours have you invested in the build so far?

Cheers

Paul.

Haha, It's starting to look a lot different now. By the end of today I should have parts spread all over the yard. I just hope the wind dies down as it's not very nice for outdoor painting right now.

Thanks for the compliment Paul. This one has been a TON of work for sure. I never keep track of the hours in a build but they really stacked up in this one even though I haven't worked on it consistently. I would say that 400-500 is not a stretch. I did keep track of some small aspects of the build. I remember it took 14hrs to cut, machine and fit the I beams for the box. This did not include each of the file fit corner braces on each side of the I beams. More recently, 4hrs to make the roof lights, 1 1/2hrs to make the fan ect. The only things store bought are the axles and tires so it adds up.

Hopefully I'll have some "finished" pics in a week or so...

I'm going to miss the bright aluminum showing off your craftsmanship, but it's going to look great in paint.

Just spray bombs Stew. Nothing too fancy.

I will miss it too! It will have a lot more "realism" once it's painted though so that's important. Now that the paint has been flying I can't wait to see it reassembled and sitting on the fender of the real truck.

Thanks for the compliment Jason. It has been all painted up for nearly a week now. I've been sitting on the updates though until after Saturday when I hand it over to it rightful owner. Stay tuned....

Well she's all finished up. I won't bother posting many pictures as they are just going to disappear in a few months anyway but here are a few...

Thanks very much guys. I'm not sure when I will have the opportunity to do another build like this but hopefully next time I will get to keep it. It wasn't too hard to give it away but I sure would have liked to have it in my collection.

Here are a few video's I took before handing it over...
