Hi Lee
Something different. You're off to a good start. Is the kit all plastic or are there some white metal parts.

Jim
It's a mix of resin and plastic. The Cab Hood and fenders are from American industrial Models the frame is the MPC/ERTL Mack DM 800 with a couple various parts from other kits. The platform step I scratch built from plastics styrene. There's no metal parts. Thanks I'm hoping to get it done by mid summer

Andy. I drove those old two sticks my self it was a Triplex in a old 1964 B61 Mack. I had a blister as big as a quarter in the palm of my hand at the end of the day. I’ve been driving now for 30yrs now I’m the 4th generation to drive a truck in my family. Here’s some a pics of the Mack I drive every day

Here’s some updates on this build. I cut down a Peterbilt 359 tank step to make it for this truck. I’ve added the wheels and that’s about it
