Default M52a1

Hi all! my next project is my M52A1 prime mover with a Mack engine. A fare amount of cancer but nothing I can't handle so I'll keep the pics coming as I go.
Colin.

Shame we weren't closer in location. There is a nice one not far from here available for the price of scrap. There have not been any takers on the project locally. To look at it it seems to be huge and ungainly.....like a child only a mother could love.

Good luck with the project.

Thanks Rob! I just can't believe how cheap these trucks are over there. There is not too many over here and the ones with the Mack engine are quite rare but it's a great project and hopefully should only take me a couple of months to complete. I would love to see some pics of your local one.
Colin.

Some people tell me I'm stubborn for not wanting to be beaten by tin worms, but I admire your will to get that cab fixed up. It may not have many compund curves but it still looks like you have a job ahead of you. Congratulations.
