I’d think it would fit, but curious to see for sure. I ordered one myself, I plan to use it in the A&N W990 kit. It’s a good choice for your T800. Looking forward to seeing it.

What transmission are you going to use on your W990 behind the MX13? I heard the one that comes with the MX13 is a European unit, not used in the states. 

Ordered a MX 13 engine from A&N, yes it is 1:24 scale, but I am going to see if it will fit……..or I just spent some money on nothing. 

Making some progress on the trailer. Using a new height gage to get all the axles set correctly so I don’t have one wheel hanging in the air when I finish. 

My cab and hood have arrived. I will be using the short hood, removing the air filter cans and remounting to the cab, removing turn signals, removing grill and building a more detailed grill. Bumper and interior are up in the air at this point. Quality is good, thickness is about .010 to .020 thicker than AMT, but very nice finish.  Karl does a good job building these. 

Weather is cold and raining so I am able to get some bench time. Cleaned up the bench and selected a trailer to build and started assembling. Must of bought this one a long time ago, plastic wrap turned yellow and it sold for 25 bucks. 

Look’s really good, I have a couple kits sitting boxes that I have just not started on. I hear it’s a good kit. 

Well done

You are correct, color really works , weathering adds to it nicely. 

Looks really good

Going to be a great looking rig, be watching 

Very cool build, well done. 

Nice project

Nice detail on the interior 

OMG, five kits at once, I can’t finish them one at a time, good luck. Will be watching. 

That is one good looking Autocar

I made a little time today to work on this truck. I cheated a little bit. Instead of black cherry I used Testors metal flake red over black primer. Not as dark as I'd wanted, but looks pretty good. 

 

That’s purdy, looks really good.

Love the fleet colors, Gary, and the job on the fuel tanks and straps are awesome !!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff, got a lot more detailing as I work on this build. Bench time gets harder as the weather gets better. 

Nice builds, well done

Interested to see where this build goes, I like the idea of updating the older trucks. 

Progress with fuel tanks

Good start, will be watching👍

That's going to look good finished

Thanks, we will see how it turns out. My builds are very fluid and subject to changes as I build as I am on my third set of fuel tanks on this one. 

Fuel tanks coming together, more detail work. Visor is scratch built and ready for final fit. Grill stripped, all goobers removed and rechromed. 

Well the weather becoming cold and snowing here, so I can get some bench time this week. Added some more color to the hood (too much white). Still working out the fuel tanks and roughing out a new visor.
