Your welcome.

More pics..

I’ve been chipping away at this for many years finally about a month ago I finished the frame work and the Mixer. My wife bought me a MPC Mack DM800 at Hobby Lobby about a week ago so I am using it as a donor kit for the Cab, Hood, Fenders and other stuff. When I bought the kit about 26 years ago it was missing a lot of parts including one side of the hood. The look I’m going for is like the DM800 on the Box Art of the MPC Gravel Trailer. Red with a White frame and instead of the chrome wheels they will be White. I’ve always liked that truck. I’m thinking about 3 Red stripe bands around the drum.

I have those days

Crazy isn’t. Had to buy this one last January my old i5 kept dying and wouldn’t st charged. I’ll get some pics of my DM800 mixer soon. Did you get any bench time?

I’ll have to watch that. I can’t remember that movie

Ok thanks. Hope you get some bench time on yours today

Hey Bob would you be offended if started a Mack DM 800 Mixer thread? I’ve been picking away at it for several years now and like to get it done. This is your fault anyway tempting me with yours 😂

I also have several 1/32 Mack’s I need to finish. I have a B61 that’s almost done I think I’ll start a thread on it. I also have a nice Mack RS700L wide grill that’s almost finished too. I won’t start a thread on it until I get the B61 done.

Sounds good to me.

Alright! I have to go Dump trucking but I’ll be checking in

Me too. My brothers didn’t want anything to do with trucking but the middle brother is a truck nut like me.

Yeah they loaded that truck up with chrome

Same here always like to listen to the stories how my Great Grandfather hauled freight to Boxcars in wagons.

Congratulations I’ve been legally driving 36 years now I’m a 4th generation truck dad drove 43 years mostly as a OO I’m going to surpass his years but the way I feel anymore I doubt it. Probably going to hang it up in 4 years or go to about 3 days a week maybe. I like that green on that DM800. Do you recall what color you painted it? We keep talking about it it’s going to come down from the closet 😂
