It was the most demanding build I ever did ..I got so frustrated midway through the build which took I don't know how many years 5 or 6 or more? it
seemed longer I remember once I quit for the entire year..I refused to go out to the shop haha..I was still working full time so it was
really too much on my table..but I just kept at it as best I could and one day it was on the road

I was a car model kid and I just kept going once I got older..although because of work and school there many decades I did nothing.
I was probably about 65 ys old when I finished this..I'm 75 now and I've got a few trucks and I just try to keep them all running, but
I don't plan on any new projects.

Although I get tempted once in a while haha...If I ever quit working..maybe I'll start one more? idk
