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

[spudd]

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

[Lucky7Dave]

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.

Hi

Have you just won the lottery, because that's not a small amount of cash. If not stop rubbing it in takes me at least a year to get one truck, and thta's only if the wife lets me get another one.

Love the Ford had one of these as a 1/24th scale truck
