The seat and engine are GORGEOUS, Rob, looks to me like you NAILED it !

HOLY !!! And Pilot cars. LOL.... sorry I didn't get a chance to have a look yesterday, as we had a Hell of a wind storm blow through and we had no electricity for over 12 hours, and it was getting damn cold in the shack here, I will try to have a squizz today for you..... to me it sounds like all the attachments are ok, just the tractor is a tad long with the frame extension............. also I can't get in touch with my friend who has a tri drive Western Star gravel truck, for comparison.... I will keep at it, pal...

Absolutely !!!, I support a local ranch for my AWESOME beef order........ it is incredible how much better it is, and I am supporting a young couple whose family has been ranching for over 100 years, so they are doing something right.... local ranchers and farmers are the only way to go !

DAMN !!!!!!!!! I'd say, she is a keeper !!!!

Let me have a look at our regs, NOT that you probably want to make a Canadian unit, but I do know some of the guys 'down south' like those long frame units, and yeah they look cool, but man I sure would hate to try and man handle one through town ! Lots of ours are full on Tri-drive, as we don't seem to have a lot of lift axles ahead of the drivers, we did , back in the day have 'tag axles' which is basically the same thing, but as the name suggests , it was at the very rear of the tractor, and usually mounted on just a single axle truck, simulating a tandem drive, but with the capacity to carry the weight, but still only one driver...

When you pull those off you will see the fruits of your labors...... it will be epic, my friend !

And , I meant NO disrespect by the way, it just struck me as wow what a LOOOOOONNNGG unit it will be , and if it were for real, it would probably be restricted by permit here in B.C. as to where it could go, mostly due to our curvy roads...., but we do have tridem Low Beds, with tridrive tractors with Jeeps and boosters as well, just our tractors aren't any where near as long as your model tractor, I think that is where the length shows most... are you going for the 53 foot low bed? . and my hat is off and I bow to your incredible scratch building skills, my friend.... I am enjoying every update, and it is looking every bit the part......

Awesome, it is a great read so far.....

HOLY Christ that is a LONG unit !!!!

I Love my Kindle too, reading John J.Pershing's autobiography right now................

There's always one in every crowd !!

ah.......................... from the Cops???

Harv, Carl, thanks for the input, I think I will pull the rigger on this as it were............ sorry for the hijack, Harv.... now on to the WHISKEY !!

When I read the title of this thread, I immediately thought............ WHISKEY !!!!!!!!!!! Harv.......... are you happy with your Artystation stuff ?? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a set, the Symphony set............... what are your thoughts?

100% agreed !

Happy New year, Ryan, you're lookin good !

wow............. I have no room to complain...... first off I am very sorry to hear of your dad, please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss......although surgery may not be a fun thing, but chronic pain is no fun at all, under any circumstances and I do hope you can get on the list as soon as possible. I am glad you checked in and hope you do often as this is good place to come as you well know for some good well needed support......

Congratulations Fran !! That's awesome !!

Oh, I sure get that , Hubert, I guess what I was trying to say, is who do we really believe?? Sometimes the 'experts' get it so wrong, and I must say with all this stuff with the media these days, a guy has to be really careful .......... oh yeah, I do not doubt it is real thing and is very dangerous, I wish they could focus on it and come up with some definite perimeters, but again, I understand it is new and we are all trying to figure it out... and I, like everyone just wish it hadn't happened, it is now really starting to get old.... and one more thing about old...... it is beyond frustrating when the 'experts' say stay home, don't travel and the borders are closed, ............ BUT a LOT of the 'experts' and 'Leaders' certainly don't heed that advice, as they travel and holiday around the world................................ hhhmmmmm....................

Damn, Gazz.......that sucks............ they have found some of that here too and our restrictions, have been set for at least another month...........sigh....... I'm not usually a conspiracy guy, ................. BUT.................. 'is' there REALLY another strain? how do the grocery guys or us truck driver guys really know if it is true or is it more control..........the more I see this stuff, the more I just wonder................................. at one time I never would have questioned it, but in this day and age of admitted 'fake news' from some in the media..................... well, I just wonder..... stay safe my friend

I'm really liking this build, Rob.............. sure would be cool to see a real one...... and to see one alive and flying would be a real gem..........

Interesting build, Harv, and I am learning a fair bit here......................looking forward to the next 'episode'..............

I agree with all the guys, Phil............. don't sell yourself short, it is a good kit, but it takes a good skill set to make it an amazing kit..... which is where you are heading...... in fine fashion . I enjoy every up date.....

I have to admire your dedication and skill set on this build, especially you skill set........ I think your experience in the sign industry has most definately has been an asset . I am watching this come together with great interest...
