Thanks for all the comments on the truck. I actually started the truck back in Sept but didn't want to start the thread till I was sure on how it would turn out. On the wipers I only used the ones that came with the Globe liner and lengthened the arms with styrene stock. The trouble that I had was to get the arms to lie flat on the glass because of the angle. Bending the arms after they were glued, they just kept breaking.

Steve the only way that I use small taps is with white lead paste the boat guys use to caulk their hulls with. I use it mixed with oil in a 70/30 mix. Oil 70 Paste 30. You have to stir it before use as the paste settles out. A machinest friend of miine showed me that and I've broke very few taps since.
One more shot with clearance lights decals.

I'm still working to get the drawing up of the limit switch on the screw drive.
