Another totally random project comes to life!
I was digging around through my spares pile last night, and coughed up some '26 Mack AC wheel/tire assemblies, and some old AMT Mack Bulldogs and scripts. So far, I have accumulated...
The aformentioned Mack bits, plus a couple of leaf springs from a Dragon 1:35 scale Military kit, some Peterbilt rear 1/4 elliptic springs and brackets, some MRC wheel adapters (they fit perfectly into the Monogram front wheel bosses on these wheels), a Revell Peterbilt 5th wheel and Pitman arm, and the steam whistle from an AMT Orange Blossom puller. From here it's all up in the air. I MIGHT be using an AMT Lil Mixer frame and a '40 Willys cab, but who knows? This is another project where I just intend to let the thing more or less design itself as it progresses. I am shooting for a kind of Ed Roth/Tom Daniel mutant creation in the end, but something that still appears practical enough to be driven on the road in 1:1, though maybe not as a daily driver or commuter!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more parts boxes to raid!
