Thank you Dicky and Jeff. Both of you flatter me with your kind comments. By the way Dicky, your work has me wanting to dig out and detail a few kits I have had around for a while.  |

Sorry for the lapse guys. Katy is coming along well. I should be posting a few more pictures in a few days, after I get some paint on her. Again I thank all of you for your support in this project.

Hi again gang, here are the pictures I promised. There is still a whole lot to do still (a whole lot of griming, and gunking up)   , but I am pleased so far. I guess I really don't have many more excuses for delaying working on the cab.  As always, I welcome your comments, and thank all of you for following. |

Very neat and clean along with looking spot on. How is the engine going to be fitted in? Is the plan to have the tin work done before assembly of the iron parts?

Thanks Bones and Paul. Bones, I am not real sure what order I'll work on the cab. I'll probably start with the floor and go from there. I have started the radiator. That is going to take a while, so I'm working on it as I work on the rest of the cab.
Thanks again for watching, and for your support and help.

Hello All, It has been a bit of a slow week (time consuming would be a better word) on Katy. I have the horizontal vanes for the radiator done (finally). I started the vertical braces as well. It's just sitting behind the front plate to give an idea what the finished radiator should look like. I do thank all of you again for following, and for your support. Attachment Deleted |

It looks outstanding, kind of like you cut a bazillion strips to make the radiator core and that is incredible effort to say the least.

For a non rivet counter and one who goes with the more artistic feel when scratch building I have to say with radiators you turn into a serious detail man. It looks great and will add to the finish look considering the original vehicle did not hide the radiator behind any grill work.

Thanks again Bones and Bill. The way I see it Bones is that this will be right up front, and fairly large (the face is about 35mm square), I need to get it right. I think I have. I have also gotten the rest of the radiator together. I still need to do the final shaping. I should have it ready in a few days. Of course there will be pictures.
Thank you again.

Stunning scratchbuilding, Bruce. I'll be following now on.

Hi Everybody, As promised, here's a picture of the radiator (still in progress). I still have some shaping to do, and add the cap and logo lettering. I thank all of you again.  |

Thanks Bill. It was a lot of time (about 30 hours). I do think the results are worth the effort though. I thank you again for following, and for your support.
