Sweeet! I always loved the looks of those bullet-nose ( bubble-nose?) Petes. You never see them around anymore, probably for good reason :). I drove an H model Mack for a year or so; sort of like that, but not a Pete. Petes were much nicer. Good build. The train horns are a nice touch -- they help keep the lane clear next to you. Johnny

New mufflers and pipes for 1:64 Cannonball GMC, made from K+S Precision aluminum tubing assortment -- part number 3403, from Amazon, $6.58. I haven't tried to finish them at all yet, just thought I'd send this along today. They come in an 8-pack of small diameters which are just big enough to fit inside the next larger size. Nice stuff, and they are available in various larger-size assortments as well. Johnny

SKILLZ ! Thanks, Johnny

Question: Did you make those white plastic parts yourself? I went back through your earlier posts on this build and saw some of them sitting in a container but I didn't know whether they came out of a kit or you had made them. You must have made the parts for the engine , and they look really well done. Johnny

OH wow, thanks so much for that info and the pictures. Yours are beautiful! I'm going to start playing with that TODAY. It's gonna be a fun learning curve. I totally get it now. Thanks again, Johnny

Boy howdy -- lovin' the pulleys and belts on the front of the engine! Johnny

"Got some engine work done" Ummm Yessir , I'll say! This is just amazing. I can't stop grinning and looking at the details. Astonishing. Johnny

Thanks, Driptroit. Love dem cannonballs! That one was originally a diecast model made by NEO. They make really nice stuff. I've just picked at it a little -- still a lot more to do. The interior's next. Johnny

HaHa -- Great stuff ! I could totally use one of them. Johnny

Thanks, Driptroit ! I wanted the old Mercury sleeper look but since I couldn't find a sleeper kit that size (1:43) I went with the tried-and-true white pine and Molotow method Johnny

What a fine weekend ! Do you remember what engine that was in the old Autocar? Is that a 6V-92? I had a 6V-71 once and the one in the Autocar looks different somehow. Also, isn't it unusual to have Detroit Diesel power in an Autocar? I tend to think of them as being Cummins or maybe Cat powered. Hmmm.. Just curious, Johnny -
Really sweet models, Bill. Good job on the black rubber windshield gaskets on the old KW. Nice touch. Johnny

Oh that's so perfect -- thanks for sharing that. Also, nice job on the top 2x6 rails. 👍 Johnny

Wow ! Love the well-used look -- you really nailed it. How did you achieve the dented look on the tailgate and dump bed sides? Is that some kind of fabric? Johnny

I have my tech expert / granddaughter over today to show me how to post photos from my phone to this forum. Lemme try this one and see how it goes. If it works I'll send some more later. Johnny

Wonderful. The detail on this model is brilliant. Keep up the good work! Johnny

Great job, Jerry -- lookin' good! I like the orange oil filter bracket to match the air filter bracket and the look of the black air bags with the orange frame. Also the weathered air intake tube. Love the fuel stickers and the little American flags -- nice period touch. That kind of detail really highlights the model. Johnny
