I started putting this together in April just after I finished the TCT MAN. For a truck and driver with such a big reputation there doesn't seem to be many good photos of it going about. I found an article in an old mag about it and even though there weren't many photos of it, there a a reasonable written description of the truck and trailer, so a fair bit of this build will be an educated guess. I took a few other photos of it during the build up but my computer is hiding them from me at the moment, if I find them I'll stick them up later on, or if any one I sent them to has them kicking about feel free to stick them up. I'm hopping to get it finished around next Easter or June, may be August.

I wasn't able to get any side on shots of it, so at first I lengthened the chassis by 7mm, but after having look with all the axles and wheels on I cut it back out then took another 5 out as well.

Coming along well Jeff mate,only two hundred eyelets to make now.

Not sure how long the chop stick wheel bearings would last at 40 tonne up.

Coming on nicely Jeff got that 'feel' about it already

Think I might have a picture of the fridge your talking about, I'll look later out at the moment
