    Thanks guys the drafting machine gealy works great for drawing stuff up when i got it it was missing the square so i just bolted on a framing square to and it was good to go . Altho i'm thinking about paying up and getting a set of scale rules for it would make life just a little easier. When I get this one done my mother wants me to make this. she is the one on the right. and No I don't live with my mother. Ha! And when I do i will probably make two one for me and one for my late grandfathers twin brothers family also. Oh its a 1940? ish chevy 2 ton cab over engine . the rubber drive was in 1942. They were a ugly truck but beauty is in the eye of the beholder well thats all for to night Tracker 57

    Is that scale 1:1, or is this a scene from the movie: Honey, I shrunk myself?
