Finished this last night. Not the easiest build to put together but I managed. Two most troublesome parts were getting the cab to fit straight on the fenders and the door hinges. "The doors hinges work great", they said. I've learned to never trust these plastic door hinges again. I will say it did beat me there. Doors are glued shut. Will try again on the 14 Karat build. Modelhaus tires and wheels from the 1948 Ford kit.

I saw this on another forum too. It's really very clean and careful work. I am also AMAZED at the speed and output of your building. Thanx for posting so many fine models and all you do for the hobby! Only comment I have is for the kit makers and the clumsy way they leave holes in the firewalls for the hood "hinges." They should do a better job. In the '60s they had weird steel things to snap as connectors between hood and car. They actually worked too.

Cool truck, buddy. I really enjoy your builds.
