Your craftsmanship is unreal.

I use to sell them but not sure if these will be for sale or not yet. Maybe once all four of them are completed . Yes, that is me quite a few years ago when I first started building models. Sorry No other links at this time.

Keep us updated when you can.

Love watching your project builds unfold.

Todays pics show the parts for both tailgates now cut out, bent and welded in place. Also I made the support brackets to hang the tailgates. Today is the first day I attached both boxes to the frames and wheel assemblies. I bent and drilled some brackets and used 5/16" pins for the pivot points. I still have to build some lift cylinders for displaying the boxes in the raised position. That is a pic of me next to the old IH 350 PayHauler. I was in Grand Haven , Michigan and got to run some old machines for a afternoon. Next week I will get going on bending the frame for that truck model. That will just have a dump box on the back.
Now we have 4 or 5" of snow on the ground and will have to plow tomorrow . I been holding off hoping it would melt and not have any snow piles yet in the yard.

I thought the same thing as I was posting previously. The only giveaway is the phone and coffee mug of pencils in the background.

That is truly amazing! I cannot express how really impressed I am. Could you please post some more detailed pics, including maybe another person in the picture to get a real perspective? I'm guessing it's about a 1/4 model?
