Nice start! Those used to be a popular truck around here when I was a kid. Can't wait to see more.

very nice. I like to see scratch built instead of 3d printed stuff. Shows talent...not that 3d printing is bad it just takes the wow factor out of builds

Thanks guys! Scratch building shows the true skill of the builder. The advantage I see to 3D printing is that it is great for solid Items like wheels and tool boxes. I have a few items that I designed that I will
have printed for my truck. I have yet to pickup a chassis LOL but that will be coming soon enough.

Going to have my own Dayton's printed.
