Lol Dwayne.....As a matter of fact, our neighbours next door are selling! It's a 2 bedroom house 1,200 sq ft on a 50X150 lot asking 135K It would be perfect for you and Barb!
And if we combined our backyard roads we could have a road area of 50X100 ! lol. Hmmm due to road maintenance costs, I think we need a toll booth at our property line! Roflmao.

I plan on getting started on the project after the Indy show. Weather permitting and work load, I hope to get the section across the back done before winter.

Once I get the loop done you have no choice but to come up here!. Sault Ste Marie is nice. 80,000 population, warm summers, friendly people.

Thanks Cory. Hey, don't forget, Susan did put FIVE coats of wax on it!. Probably down to 2 or 3 coats now but, Susan just waxed her 1:1 truck again and I wouldn't be surprised if Black Passion will be next!

There is one downfall to a all black truck. Outdoors in the hot, high noon sun the body gets really warm, almost could say it gets hot! I kept an eye on it at the Clifford show and placed in the shade. Which reminds me, next year I want to bring a heat measuring gun to see how hot it gets.

Haven't started the tanker lights yet. I changed my mind and want to do the reefer trailer next then tanker and finish with the lowboy.

The dump trailer wiring went real well ( or maybe I'm getting better at this ) The double wall sides with enough room made the job easy. I really hope Izzy finds a shop because I'd love to have some more of his stuff!

I gave ya the walk around tour of the future road... Here's my truck testing it out for the first time. Just a couple soft spots to deal with and I have to trim the top of the hill, the quad axle turns into a single axle as it crests the top

And a video of Sue's truck with flatbed and lowboy.

hey mario the video looks great...reminds me of the trucks driving the dirt roads back in nova scotia in the woods to get loads of logs or christmas trees...i could watch the video over and over ..it came out very well.looks like you will have quite the truck park up there.i am trying to convince barb to sell our house and move out to the sticks .it would be pure bliss to have a truck park also and to be able to look out my window and see the garage that will have big zeus completely tucked in for the winter and safe...i will be watching the process of this..must be cool to have a scale trucking company and literally own the roads you drive on too

Thanks Dwayne, glad you liked the video..... I really need to get a Gopro camera! It's almost impossible to drive with one hand and film with a IPad in the other Of course with Sue's help video taping will be easier in the future.

Anyway, had an idea how I can build and use the road right now .
RC road building will start next summer but this year getting the loop complete is the focus.

Check it out

yea i saw it .thats a clever idea with the shingles

[Supermario]

Ok. It's official. The road works! Yes, maybe a little narrow but that helps fine tune the driving skills best part is with the double layer shingles, I can widen the road a few inches with no problem. This is going to work great as a practice area for Sue before the Indy show

Mother Nature gave me the time to take a couple runs on the new road
