Automatic!? No thanks!!...Joe

I like it!...Joe

They need to make one of these in 1/12 scale!...Joe

Well guys, it's pretty apparent I'm off this build! Working too many hour, just don't have any energy to go on! Working 5-12's with every other Friday off, I have too much going on......Good luck to everyone, and I'll be watching when I can.....Joe

Beautiful!

Here's the repainted Cat! Did a little dirtying up. ....Thanks for looking...Joe

Thanks guys for the responses! I've been so busy doing things that I fell off the wagon on building. But looking at the Cat engine I thought it looked a little thick [paint wise]. So I striped the paint and am in the process of applying a new coat. Hope to have new painted engine posted up tonight of early tomorrow....Joe

Got my super singles in, just using the fronts... ...And got the Cat painted and test fitted.. Hoping to get started on the service body soon...Joe

Thanks Jeff! Yes, I saw those latches before. They are cool and hoping to get some soon...Joe

I don't know when the changes will stop with me and this build, but here goes...I found an unbuilt Cat 3408 in my stash, so I put it together. Here it is in the metal frame. Here I'm blending in the de-chromed grill like on the real trucks. Hope to post more soon...Joe

A few years ago I purchased this partial kit with metal chassis. I like the 12V71 in the kit, so in it goes! Thanks for watching...Joe

A few changes coming! Going with the 3 axle truck, Cutting out the grill, to add a real grill,

Thanks Dan, I work with these almost every day. So I'm always looking at them and taking notes. I'll be sneaking in a few pictures , we' not allowed to have our phones at work, so sneak is the proper term for pictures..LOL...Joe

Built one of these years ago. If I remember correctly, it went together very smoothly ...Joe

Did a great job! Like the short version!...Joe

Great truck and trailer combo! Watching!...Joe

Those Aussie truck are cool...Watching...Joe

51? Your just a young pup! Looking forward to seeing this!...Joe

You did great on the Western Star! Can't wait to see this one progress!...Joe

Great project! I'm guessing that's an 8V71?...Joe

These 1/32 trucks are pretty cool, I might have to check into getting one! Lee, looks great!...Joe

I like the tires that already have distress in them, showing its already been working hard!...Joe

Getting sub-assemblies together, de-chroming parts and readying for first parts to be painted. Haven't decided on a color scheme yet for the cab...Joe

This is really gonna be cool!...Joe

Looks like a fun build! Your doing some great mods!...Joe
