Is that the 1/35 kit , Carl? With the Holmes wrecker? I have that one in the stash as well. It is on the ( as Doc Rob says ) ‘schdule’ 😂😂

Thanks Pal

One more

So the other day I decided I found enough time for a little detailing work on the engine for the Pete. Still a long way to go , BUT I have started on some of the plumbing. There is a lot more to go and there are a fair number of detail decals to put on. But for now in light of posting a small update I will share these few pics for your comments and advice

Holy. More than a month since an update…. In my defence , life has most definitely got in front of this build…. Mostly trying to secure my 95 year old mother in law to long term care after more than a month in the hospital…. Still trying to get that worked out but we have her ‘temporarily’ housed in a very good place. Hope she can stay there as it is really nice and the staff is wonderful, secondly it has been WAY too hot in my model room as it seems summer is here and the huge hear wave seems to be waning somewhat. So that has been what’s going on with me but I did manage a little time to work on my truck. I got the dash pretty much finished, had to scrape the raised details so the P E would settle down, painted dash and kick panels added the p/e and added some ‘relief’ for the brake valves so they don’t sit flat on the dash, as they don’t in real life. Also pained the 3d Detroit 60 Series block as close as I could get to Detroit engine blue, ( specially for you Ron! ) and painted the bits that have to be added to the block, ECM, fuel pump and filters the alternator and a/c compressor etc. I hope the pics come out straight. Not an expert doing this on my silly phone… anyway here are a few pics.

Many thanks Kai, I really appreciate your thoughts and your kind words. I must say I have been a bit slow lately in posting updates. Life is getting in the way a bit. My aged mother in law has had an increase of her dementia thing lately and we are trying desperately to get her into long term care. An up hill battle to say the least. I hope to get back to the bench shortly and hope to add an update of the latest build. Jeff

Especially finding out you weren't wanted or going to jail !!😆

Would it be over the top to call the police in his town and ask for a ‘wellness’ check? They will go and knock on the door to make sure he is ok. Had that done for an uncle of mine and we go the answer. Would that just piss him off or would it be a good thing. Just throwing that out there Jeff

That’s Cathy yelling at ME!!🫣

Who’s Fanks ? 🤭🤣🤣

Happy Birthday, old timer.................. and yeah I thought the same thing, I will save you a seat !!
