This is coming along very nice. I'm enjoying the thread and the truck is looking great.

Thanks John.

To get back at it, I removed the rear spring, rear axle and exhaust system from the sprue.

[Raymo]

The rear spring was installed into the grove of the rear cross member. The rear end was attached to that with the front of the wishbone/driveshaft attached to the rear of the transmission. The exhaust system was installed to the underside with the bend in the pipe under the wishbone.

[Raymo]

The front axle and wishbone were then removed from the sprue and cleaned up. The front axle fits into the grove of the front crossmember and the point of the front wishbone should rest on the bellhousing.

Back to the cab, I attached the fuel cap to the cowl and the radiator cap to the top of the radiator.

Great work. I will be building my second Jordan soon.

Although I'm aware George didn't build all his Jordan's on the F&SM, it still makes me appreciate the work that went into the amount of them that can be found there!

[Raymo]

I cut the very delicate headlight assembly from the sprue. I then attached the horn throat to it.

[Raymo]

This was then attached to the front fenders. I drilled the dimples out on the fenders to allow the glue to attach better. I also repaired the front bumper mounts with some styrene strip and attached the front bumper.

[Raymo]

I attached the "brake drums" to the back of the wheels. I left the wheels on the sprue to help with painting.

That's it for tonight. I need to download more photos..

Yes! And there's a LOT of Jordan's on the F&SM..

Dan;

Really enjoying the build. Have a question, when you clean up the parts how much force are you applying? I know sounds stupid but I don't want to shave off too much and sometimes hard to tell were the flash ends and the part starts. OK, a second question, when I built a Jorden bus the thread I followed recommended super glue. Here you are using the plastic cement. Photos show it looks great and I see no glue but how does it feel to work with for you?

Thanks
