HEY MACK!

[Gator]

Very nice work Terry. Is that basswood or balsa?

Thanks!

The framing is made from the launch sticks on fireworks so I don't know what kind of wood it is, but the rest is balsa.

Terry I don't want you to get angry at Me but I think, there is too much hardware, Brackets and bolts. I looked at wooden stake beds, on the net, no nuts on inside, as not to damage load. sides should be easily removed for unloading. Oh crap a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

In other words less & cleaner, not bolted at the bottom ... Just My Honest Opinion ...

Terry's doing the HD version.

Duelly noted and ignored. I will press on with what I'm doing. Oh having any luck stretching that Studebaker cab over a Frieghtliner chassie?

Well constructive criticism isn't allowed here ... But I guess making fun of others is, I was only trying to Help you make a better looking, rendition of a classic truck. Carry on & good luck ... and it is a Willy's not a Studebaker, and there are some people Here who like my modeling.

Lighten up Gerry, you know CC is more than welcome.

 

[MrT]

Gerry this is the vision I had for the Mack, I appreciate the feed back from you but I'm too far along to change what I wanted to do to start with. I regret that my attemp at levity has fallen flat.

Terry :salute

 

[Hippy Ed]

I really like what you're doing on this Terry. I've gone back & looked over the pics & I see nothin' wrong with the amount of hardware you've got on it. Makes for a good sturdy box in my opinion Like the stake pockets, nice added touch there with the railing under it.
I'll be as I wanna see this one finished up

Ok the right side of the bed is complete. I stained the wood with a oil wash of raw umber. Next comes the tailgate.
