Oh cool. This will be the tractor to pull the SPAM trailer I take it.
Thanks,

Looking great so far Lyle! Can't wait to see you fire that up and run it! :lashed:

Thanks, guys. I just gave this the “kiss of death” by posting it here...

Tom, don’t think I’ll be wiring it up, but who knows?

Yes, this the truck that will pull the SPAM trailer. I also have an old Ford tractor / trailer kit that HL had. The trailer will fit that, too.

Still wrapping what brains I have left around painting big Diesel engines. The “destructions” say it is gold. I plan on picking some details out, if I can.
