That is magnificent Gary. The amount of work in that truck is mind boggling. Is it based on a real Australian Western?

Thanks guys, it's based on the current Western Stars, but the color scheme is a twist on one from an old Kenny Aerodyne. I've built a "copy'' of that truck as well, will post some pic's.

Farrrk, thats good, as are the rest of your builds. Makes me want to get away from rods for a while and built some trucks again. Last one was about 12 years ago. Lindsey Bros LTL 9000, won a prize at Wagga Wagga. Only thing I ever won.

Thanks fat141, I combined the best of both(rods & trucks) with my custom Pete. I remember your Lindsey Bros Ford, really nice build & well deserved win. Cheers, Gary.

Thanks for the comments fella's. Jamie, yeah the bonnet is an Auslowe conversion. I'm currently doing a second Constellation, have shortened the bonnet & will be a twin steer rigid tautliner. Thinking of similar paint scheme but reverse colour's.

Wow. That's an awesome amount of work there. Auslowe must love you, there is a million dollars worth of accessories on the truck. Seriously impressive. Out of my league and definitley out of my budget. bigthumbsup
