Hi guys yes its been awhile but I am finally back into building something. I was going thru a bunch of boxes and came up with enough parts to put a Autocar together. The only part I couldn't find was the front bumper. I started to put the frame together this morning and will show the progress so far. More pictures to follow when I get more progress completed. I am in need of the front bumper if anyone has a spare.

You got some good work going on there, and I bet it will be fun to build it without instructions. As stated in another thread that I lost all my models years ago, but that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that I also lost the three big boxes of parts that I had. As I built several Autocar models I probably could have helped you. Good luck and have a blast building it.

What is even more fun then building without instructions is a rebuild of an old kit. I like to take old build ups and redo them. Lots of times I have to make parts for them. I didn't even know that I had all the parts for this truck until I started to organize the parts into catagories to see just what I had. I've built so many of these that I can just about do it with my eyes closed or in my sleep. With the way the weather has been here lately I have had plenty of time to do something. Christmas break when there is no school for the kids and now they went back to school one day after the break now another 3 day weekend for cold weather gives me plenty of build time.

I have had some family problems and other crisis since this build started. It is right now on the back burner with a lot of my projects. I need to dig up all the parts again and get it restarted.
