Get your alcohol while you can Lyle! You got this! I want to see it fired up afterward!

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: AMT (Round 2) Mack R685ST
Engine is "installed" but there looks to be some twist in the chassis. . . or I am twisted. Not sure.
Saw this on another Youtube build and thought, why not? It is for the R600 series of Mack trucks, but not this specific kit. Got it for the grill. Now, my question is, do I just use this or do I cut out the center of the kit piece and glue this in place? I think I'll try this, because if it breaks apart, I still have a grill to use.
