    You know when you want to own one more Mack you generally need a storage and some cash also. But when it concerns girls it's difficult to have more than one at a time. So at sertain point I realized I should switch a trigger. Honestly that one is about the only one I miss sometimes. She was happy and eager to do just about anything. Also enjoyed riding on a motorbike's back seat. On a dark side she had a (small) kid and drank too much of beer.

    No I haven't. And also don't know who she is. Looks like I missed something again. But some while back I got my own on the same style. Had been with her for some months until realized I needed more time to support my rust addiction.

    Well, damn right. On the other hand if I found i must it doesn't mean I do.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mack-Truck-Fiberglass-Lund-Sun-Visor-MCV4-MC2-Superliner-New-Old-Stock-Vintage/263332097821?hash=item3d4fd0ef1d:g:F7IAAOSwhVxaEL32&vxp=mtr They claimed it's a R-model one but looks more as for a B to me. Although I might be wrong but the mark on the box (with the script of R-model relation) doesn't match the stamping on the part.

    Any good results of?

    Looks great! And really nice to see the progress. I like the idea of body rebuild. But making such reproduction parts I noted they might look too fresh sometimes. So I practiced making new sheet metal parts that sand blasting them and keep outside for a year or more. Than blast again, paint and assemble. This way steel gets traces of rust removed and looks ancient. But good of its shape and rust-free. Thank you for sharing so many stages. I don't remember seeing AC resto in progress.

    Really great issue this time! Neat truck show pics. Did you color bright some of them? Leaves work and the wax work are beautiful. Interesting shot of the plane travelling on the pick-up And Diamond-T model is nice. Is it built of AMT or modified some way? And the last scenarie road pic - it sure worth to be used as a screen wallpaper. Or even to be re-painted by brush and put on a wall framed

    Yes, now I see, that's the one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAHeNo4FKxQ

    Cool thing! Congrats on the purchase. I like the original dump body too. Fenders are of an easy form and could be reproduced of sheet metal if you really want. And looks like a good weather in Ontario today Vlad

    One of my favorites were SAAB-96. There was a guy here in Moscow in late 90's who collected 4-5 of them.

    Impressive sample of ingeunity and modern technologies we might be seeing on the road soon. But makes me wonder once again of compromizing efficiency with complexity and durability with a final count of the operational costs.

    One risky entertainment could be entered into with thjat glass hood. You should check the quality of a particular hood you're going to tinker with. Starting of thickness of the walls. Engine heat or even the sun may ruine all filling and painting after installed on a truck. OEM hoods are known of their properties but that thing might be needing some investigation. If putting it on a truck I personally would cut the split lines the way original steel parts get to each other. Just my taste.

    G'day Swishy, Is that the truck you can see on You-Tuuube its Lanova engine running? As for re-wiring it's one of the entertainments I'm going to go through. Gonna keep it closer looking original

    It just doesn't clean the right side of its track well enough. So the FR wheel goes higher forsing the axle to lean.

    This thread currently has more replies than the recent Pics of the week issue had. So seems like OD is still with us. And I like Vegas..

    That is the last thing you can do any moment. Sounds about like you have a wrong truck so should replace it completely. The power divider could be opened from the drive yoke end taking off the parts step by step. Or could be removed completely driving off the bolts which attach its body to the main diff housing. You may be getting some troubles parting it out on a bench this way though. The carriers content is generally a easy thing excepting divider. Just two sets of gears in each one. And if you have a real break of teeth you're automatically on a shoulder with no move. And sure presence of broken parts in the oil together with "silver powder".

    Would be interesting to put an eye onto the rear bogie setup. There should be one of its special design. Older style than you can see (and get) off a L or B model.
  20. Vladislav
    Awesome! And I'm afraid, costy indeed.
  21. Vladislav
    Upps. Somebody is stealing the NR. Which one is that? A Tonny Champion collection piece?
  22. Vladislav
    That power plant on the pictures is amazing Never thought it may be possible to find such exotic unit. And sure too difficult to swap with anything else.
  23. Vladislav
    Seems really attractive. A bit costy but affordable if you really need this particular part. And no longer avalible from Mack if you want it chrome. Thanks to Farmer52 I was supplied with a good one.
  24. Vladislav
    Bob, have a fine and remarkable day and many more to enjoy!

    Happy B-day!
