Unlike the plan set, I will be making 4 dually set of tires, instead of the super singles.

Waiting for my new bandsaw to come in. Cleaned up the shop and sorted out the drawers on my bandsaw cabinet/stand. I have to modify the cabinet by removing the 2 bottom drawers to reduce the height. The new bandsaw is taller and needs a shorter stand.
The old bandsaw can cut up to 6-1/2" tall boards. The new one will do 13" tall. I use the bandsaw to slice 3/4" stock into thinner boards for my models. I also use it to cut up logs to make boards.

Made a major modification to the rear of the Model T. The plans show a "back seat area" instead of the fuel tank and tool chest I installed..
Wow! Lots of detail...
