    It's therapy to build a project with saved parts, imagineering and a basic idea.

    I feel for you on that. My bike (1950), car (1955) and truck (1988) are all to old the require emission testing. Used to dread it. Paul

    Sadly, no lift gate without major rebuilding of the AMT lift gate. As the photos show it it short and narrow to work. I guess it will go back in the parts boxes.

    "Food Lion" Brockway 457 Daycab

    I'm a fan of all Detroit Diesels. I'm finishing up a pair right now (I usually start a few kits a week or two apart) One 6V71 and the other 8V71 powered.

    Very nice work. I like the 6/71 power. Rarely see any Brocks built. Paul

    Got quite a bit more done as I was home for 3 days. Got the cab tilt done, air cleaner assembly, muffler, catalytic converter and regen unit fitted up. Cut down a pup trailer to 24 feet and test fitted it. Made up front bumper mounts and widened a DM 800 bumper to fit. Working up a pair of fuel tanks and a Uria tank for it now.

  11. LEDS. . . cool!!
  12. Clean the brass and the solder flux off as well as possible and than a few coats of Dupli Color or other automotive self etching primer. Most are available in spray cans. BE SURE TO WEAR A MASK when using it as it is bad for your lungs and such when airborne due to the etching acid in it. Gee, don't be reluctant to show your work, everbody has to start at some level and you may get a few tips but not any ragging on your work. We have a great bunch of people here who are better than that. Paul

    Yellow is a good Binder Color! Wood on the trailer deck is easy, just like doing a house deck only less stressful.

    BOARS HEAD MEATS ? 😃
  16. Resin body from ebay, chassis is modified Ford COE, fuel tanks are scratch built from Legos, flathead 6 and trans is from AMT 1941 Plymouth. Side dump harvest body was copied from one in my barn and "potatos" are Rice Crispies. The real truck has about 25000 original miles and is/was only used in the late summer early fall for harvest.

    Got a bit more work done on the MP7 and the M Drive, some bits and a ton of bolts and the common rail injector feed. I also got the motor mounts made to test the fit under the cab interior tub. Than today I finished up the chassis and engine to put on some paint. That was a spur of the moment idea for paint so no photos until tomorrow when I get home from Nova Scotia. Paul

    Both look excellent. The choice of colors is good, eye catching.

    Very nice work on a cool truck. The Blue one in your thread is owned Mark Hothmer from the KIngston, NY it's a 1974 , just so you know it has the Plus-3 cab so it would not have the steel dash. 1972 was the last year of the short R cab and the steel dash. You can do the early cab by using the rear panel and the roof from the DM600 or the DM800. I have a video of that truck coming into the Macungie Mach show last year. I'll post it if you would like. Here is a few pic from the show of the drivers side I posted on the BMT site a few years ago. I have some of the lengthened cowl area, I'll find them also if you like. Paul
