Thanks. Yep. I still haven't decided if I like the polished wheels but, I'll wait and see if they look good with fresh paint.

I just got it back from getting it painted. The guy who painted it restores vintage cars for a living and he actually used "Ferrari Red" for the roof.

Ha, I built this one to sell. So, the 9W won't be loading this one up after seeing the paint job on this one though my other tonka DT will get painted after the Cabin Fever show.

Nice, have you motorized more Tonkas? Know a guy that made their wheel loader as R/C many years ago.
