Not your everyday choice of subject, should be fun to watch it come together and find out what the 'final idea' is!  It's always fascinating to look at these early vehicle designs, you can literally see them experimenting with different approaches to things as they try to overcome the challenges and shortcomings of the available engine technology, rough road conditions, etc. That rear-wheel chain drive is a perfect example. |

No you don't see this one everyday, but I like to branch out. Yes I love the old vehicles. They have style and lots brass. Terry |

This is looking really good. I particularly like the chain, the rivets and side plates definitely have a realistic appearance. |

Nice additions to the engine detail! Pardon my ignorance on these early engine types, but did it really only use 4 spark plugs for the 8 cylinders?

Nice additions to the engine detail! Pardon my ignorance on these early engine types, but did it really only use 4 spark plugs for the 8 cylinders? Here is some backgound on the truck that may clear things up. The heavy duty AC, with its well known tapered hood, was the truck which started the bulldog theme. A 377 cu in (6.2 L) 4 cylinder gasoline engine 4X2 with chain drive, it was strong, reliable, and worked well in rough terrain. Introduced in 1916, there was a great demand because of World War I, over 6000 3 1/2, 5 1/2, and 7 1/2 ton trucks were built for the UK and US military. There were also commercial sales from 1916, the AC was well suited for logging and construction work. A larger version, the AP, built between 1926 and 1938, was an off-road haul truck used on Boulder dam and other large projects. 40,299 ACs had been built when production ended in 1939 |

Doesn't surprise me that they built so many of these guys given how long the production run lasted! |

I had wondered what this kit was like. Doesn't look to shabby. And you are doing a great job. The colours really pop and the bare metal looks proper.
