This one is gonna be a beauty! Was spending my Sunday working on some engines and decided to pull out the chassis and paint a little too. The two engines for this truck are on the right.

Cool custom Ben!
Scott, your engines look great, and the yellow on the cab really suits it, it's gonna look really nice in that color.

unfortunately it looks like my migraines are back with a vengeance... As of 8/1 I only had about 15 for the year but I've had one every day for 2 weeks now. You guys will like this though. Since I started building this model, all I've seen around town are 50's Ford trucks for sale. If I had the money, I'd have snatched one up! haha!

I've been piddling on this on this one the last week. Kinda taking it slow because I decided to dry fit everything and it's gonna be a beauty, so I'm taking extra care right now. Tonight, I'm taking the '53 crestline back home and "fix it back up".

Haven't worked on that yet. Maybe this weekend! I haven't been able to devote a lot of time...Our software is getting tested hard and I've been adding new features every day. Besides that, we have my wife's best friend that we're helping. Her 12-year old son is autistic and while they are trying to put their marriage back together, I've taken on the role of "substitute Dad" for him. SO, I've been working in the yard with him, teaching him stuff, etc so that she has some time to herself and decompress. Unfortunately, my oldest daughter's boyfriend has been a turd this month too. ( Side note, It's ok for a dad to choke out a daughter's boyfriend and hide the body where it can never be found right? I'm kinda fuzzy on all these laws and stuff!) Not complaining really as it's a role I believe the Lord wants me in right now, but I haven't had much "me" time lately.
