Sheepscot Autocar C-90 for the A&S Railroad.

 At this point I've glued up the other wheels to the axles. When these have set up, I ran a sanding stick across the surface of the tires to even them up. The width of the front tires is about 15/16th of inch measured from outside edge to outside edge. The rears are about the same

[Raymo]

Now if you set the frame on the axles and the cab on the frame it should something like this

[Raymo]

You can see how the grille fits down into the frame. In this kit George supplies some plastic channel to fabricate a front bumper. I've cut two pieces and notched them to accept the front bumper. I've glued these on so they end just beyond the nubs on the frame. I then cut another piece the width of the cab and tacked it to the other piece's

[Raymo]

George supplies a piece of plastic tubing and some green wire to make an exhaust. Trucks of this era had the exhaust dump underneath.

[Raymo]

I now have attached it to the left side bottom of the frame so when it's turned over it will be on the right bottom looking forward. I've also applied a piece of wire to represent a driveshaft. I also broke the tack on the front bumper

[Raymo]

I drilled a couple holes and enlarged them to represent access holes in the bumper before I placed it back on the frame. At this point the truck should look like this.

Thanks Dan for a super thread building this truck. I've always enjoyed your cars and trucks. It makes me wish this era was in my time frame for my modules. Either way I will check here for updates. You not only make it look fun but easy.
