Thank you sir. I'm very chuffed with the final results.

I have to say from what I've seen this is your masterpiece so far, Matt. Incomparable in concept and execution! You should be proud...even if you don't like hockey

Those are super expensive. Most guys machine them themselves.

Here's a new video of it being started:

Did you receive any feedback from the Hauk guys?

Oh yes, Kenny and I have had many emails back and forth. He's pretty happy with the end result. I can't wait for the season change so I can do a couple more photo shoots. I still really love this truck.

I can see why. It's totally bad ass and takes scale to another level!

The only thing I ask is that next time you do a build with 999 rivets make sure to make them chrome or polished aluminum...something shiny. I know that wouldn't fit this build since it's a replica, but I think that would be a really cool look.

I'm pretty sure I'm never driving another rivet for as long as I live.

Thanks for the kind words.

I figured as much. It's a shame because it's an awesome look, but I can't say I blame you. I sure don't plan on tackling it. I wish I had your patience!

You're welcome.

DOUBLE Congrats, then!
