Hi all out there in FTE land. I haven't been on here for a couple of months now and thought I would share with all the progress of the 53. The Engineer did his final inspections and only could manage four little minor faults. A small leak in the rear brake cylinder, indicators didn't cancel when steering wheel didn't turn, my speedo wasn't working and last of all it was to loud. I was only aloud 96 decibells and came up with 105 reving at 3500rpm. All little trivial things that I can get fixed in just a week or so. I have had the 53 out on a couple of test runs and it drives great. I'll keep you all posted soon.

Congradulations, it turned out really well, beautiful truck you have. I guess if someone took you picture they would have to use a wide lens just to get all of your smile.

 

Aussie; what a great looking truck you turned out; love the color. Glad to see the photo's.. As 56panelford mention, you must be all smiles!!!!
