Wow, now that's a nice truck! Really like the wheels and paint, and that it an Autocar. Saw many similar trucks running in eastern Kentucky coal fields over the last 30 years. Great build!

Hahaha That's awesome Jason! I wondered if you would actually do it... worked out great. We drove by the site today and I said to the fiance that we should have stopped by and got in your way. If we did that would have been cool to see. Now that you bounced some rocks off of it I won't be so nervous to load it either!

Good job!

That was very cool, and I'm sure nerve racking. But I think we need to build something a little more scale to load your truck.
Good job

Nice video! Well done! But I agree it's time to fix the scale issue. So how long do you think it will take to refurbish a 1:1 old school Autocar? LOL

You betcha buddy! You done yourself proud with a very unique one of a kind build.

Congrats!

Now let's see it go to work, moving mountains like its real life cousin.

Looks really cool Jason! Neat setup!

Apparently I need to venture over to this area of the forum more often!

Keep up the great work!
