I wanted to build the US 60 that was used in WWII in 1943-45 so I had to do a lo of scratch building. Here's may start ad a lot of shots of my work that is still going on. (I'm only going to post 5 shots in every post)

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm working on the headlight protection grills. I wanted to solder them but the gun would not heat up. So I just glued the.
So far things are goint ok. I feel that I just may need to go over the sides of the hood once more.
I do need to get the interior weathered and the dash done so all I will need to get done is all the body weathering.

This is a great build and the weathering and finishing is even better. I missed this thread completly and only found it cause it was linked from a thread (and it appears that Im not alone when one sees the small amount of replies). Love what you did here CC III.
Please contact some of the staff and send this in as a feature .... definatly worthy IMO!!

Beautiful work.
You know ICM does a Studebaker US6 truck, right? Might have saved you a bit of work. Of course then you wouldn't have th epride of what you accomplished here.
