Not really, use a slower set glue and lay in so the axles will all line up and let all four wheels touch... you definitely need the engine in to line it all up...  |

I wonder if we'll be amazed by the contents of Mark's kit box?

This kit has some of that pesky flash on some of the parts. Not too bad, but still needs cleaned off.

Why yes it does... I'm thinking we are all going to come up with a different looking ride when we are done even though they are identical kits... will be fun to see!!!

I've been researching some of the advertising and signage from the early days.
It seems some of the decals in the kit are from a later period than the 1923
"T" Model represents. I'll try to select mine from right around the few years
a truck like this might be in service as a delivery van.

That is true or it could be a modern day restoration from a car show or museum with later graphics... |

I'm not too crazy about the way the rail connect to the cross-members. I drilled these parts so I can pin them together:  The blacked out areas show where I drilled. |

Lining up, clamping, pinning, gluing:  I'm using the metal ruler, as the frame rails in my kit are NOT straight!! |
