Kenworth cab/ Mack Challenge mixer

[mopar]

Thanks Stace I was going to pick this one up from AITM but he’s sold out and has sold AITM to Keystone Aluminum so I’m going to scratch build my own similar to it and it’s just like the one you recommended. While I’m waiting on the weather to finish painting I made the Super Bee Services decals and did a mock up.

looks good so far. really like the colors you picked for these. OK, i will ask, i see what the headache rack is, its the rack with all the hoses and stuff attached to it. but if there is nothing extending out to rack your head on, why the name "headache rack"?

Basically Al it's where you hang your chains and binders when not using them on a load. It is also added protection from a stray beam that came loose and keeps it from coming through the cab hopefully and not giving you a headache or worse.

Sprayed some paint on the headache rack and green on the front fenders. While I’m waiting on the wrench to arrive I started on the Mack DM 600 Challenge mixer. I’ve finished the frame with 30 scale inches adding to it. I’m also working on the front hydraulic pump and frame.

Coming together really nicely! Digging the colors too!

Thanks dge467 I’ve been getting a lot of comments about the colors on this one. I was able to finish the front hydraulic pump set up and did a quick mock up.

Some more progress on the Mack frame it’s now ready to get some Sublime Green paint.
