Well, I wasn't gonna show pics of this one, but then I thought what the heck,lol. I had my shoulder operated the first of march, so I've purty much been down to one arm ( that's where the name comes from), so I didn't really expect it to turn out very good at all. But I got really bored just setting around, so I thought what the hey!! It's really turnin out a lot better than I expected. Other than the glue all over the glass that is,lol. It's a little rough in some places, not so bad in others. Still have a littleways to go on it  Put a CAT 1693TA in stead of the cummins  Not a good pic, but I made and put cab lift cylinders on it. Broke the gearshift, so got to get another one on there.  |

Not bad at all for one-handed build. Looks really good to me. I like that engine.

Um, how are you going to "steer and gear" with only 1 arm? Maybe the auto trans from AMT's Aerodyne kit is called for as a replacement!  This is a nice cabover, longer wheelbase looks good and the colours are tastefully done. Looks very "period correct", a tractor I'd be proud to drive.  |

Never thought of that, bet I have one layin around somewhere too,lol. But you're right, I haven't drove my real pickup in a month ( 5 speed ), haven't been drivin much to begin with, but what little I have been has been in my old ford bronco......... it has an auto tranny,lol. |

It's a chilly spring morning - my 1:1 windows look like that every morning from about October thru to May!

It sure looks good with that trailer. Excellent work with only one hand.
