Thanks Nate They are more or less static and JB welded in place..i just slipped some short lengths of BIC lighter springs over the the Ant ..great idea though ...may do some mods in the future .I was thinking of stopping at the music store and checking out the guitar strings..Im at that point where im adding some of the small details ..still rear mud guards to do as well

Btw I love this build and would love to put it on my roads.

Thanks Very very much ..those kind of add on seem to add a bit more realizam. Ive seen some of the stuff some of the guys do with the 1/24 static models ..amazing some of the detail that goes into them ..My eyes and pateints are not quite that good ..anyway Thanks again Jo

There was a few Pacifics at the ATHS show in duncan so I did manage to get a few shots of the old girl sitting on a few fenders ..Both of the these trucks were carrying Log Jeeps so that was kind of cool..The owner of the Light green P9 was pretty impressed

Very nice build, one of the best on the board, very realistic!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Awesome picks Lou!

[RCP57]

Great pics Lou. I had hoped to do the same on sunday with the LW kenworth but the owner wasn't around.

[Espeefan]

Great photos! Can't help but notice the pride taken in the P9 Pacific. The Phillips screw heads are all matching, and perfectly aligned! That's a good looking truck.

Thanks for Looking and all your nice comments ..im very flattered that It was nominated in the build of the month again ..tight race and crossing my fingers
Nathan I wasnt quite of observant as you are and now that you mentioned it yes that truck was imaculant..the owner had me poke my head in in the cab ..Nicer than new I would say ..The truck is retired now and hasnt seen work for 7 years .Garage kept..wish I had Both ..lol
Havent done alot on the pacific these days but did add some Red plastic caps to the jeep , trailer and truck front wheels ...I am also flying purple ribbons in Support of the 14 year old girl with brain cancer ..I hear there are truckers all over the western U.S. Canada and Alaska flying puple..Its unbeleiveable how everyone is all pulling together in support for the family ..very cool great cause

I love this photo, you sure built a sharp looking logger.

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks ..Im surprised at how well my camera does ..just an old canon powershot 710..Just got lucky i guess ..I still have to finish wiring the lights rear mudflaps and shes pretty much done ..Been a fun Build to do..thanks for the nomination to BOTM Too

[Grainfarmer]

Good job! Very nice log hauler!

[PaulNZ]

Good looking logger!

I like the old Pacific's used to work on a few 20 yrs ago in the NZ Forests

We'll done on your build, I've been following rclogger and your builds for a while

Cheers

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks Paul ..really enjoyed this build and following yours as well..On the weekend I met up with a fella that worked for pacific building the preloaders..This guy knew his stuff ...he instantly recognised it as a 510P and was pretty impressed ...we pointed out a few things that were off though ..Still a few things I want to add and finish though ..Thanks again and cheers

This is one of those trucks that if you showed it to somebody new to the hobby, parked along side a stock King Hauler they would probably never guess the two were related.
