They did have Tractor trailer entries at Syrcon 2021. Maximum length at least 3 feet long tractor and trailer combined. Hope you got space to display it.
I am looking forward to seeing your complete. Youre doing great, Lyle. Keep it going !

I took an easier (I hope) way out on this rascal. Those locating pins in a lovely half-moon shape just do not want to snap in place. I have a couple of them in and glued....I added some supports.
I have also decided to likely, maby,possibly, okay probably will, not do the polished aluminum finish on this box. I will do a standard white and pracice some weathering I think.

Thank you, John.
My old CB handle was
Fencepost. Don't know why, nothing significant about it.
I do believe that one of the hardest things to build is a simple box.
