It is all here.

Yep.....that's where I found it. Power axel and controler are from Plum Cove Studios. As far as what I might do different, well I'm not too sure just yet.

Looking good! I just got my set of castings a couple of weeks ago, and learned a bit about welding last weekend. I've been cleaning up the castings an hour or two at a time and am now just about ready to start assembling the hood and cab. Then on to the frame. If I can make mine look half as good, I'll be doing fine. I figure I live in Texas, so I will call mine a lopin lizard. Looks like fun! Can't wait to get mine running!

Thanks. This is my first project and it has been fun and a learning experience. I'm sure yours will be every bit as good as mine, just take your time and test fit everything. I built mine from the frame up and am glad I did. I built the cow catcher last weekend and need to make mounting brackets, test fit and paint. Should be installed this coming week.

Here ya go. Video quality didn't turn out the greatest. My grandson is hauling passengers at Skykomish Wa. This was the first official outing.
