"Convoy"-----what a great flick! Kris Kristofferson was a bada@& in that one. Fun fact---in real life he was a Captain in the U.S. Army, a helicopter pilot, Ranger School grad and also a Rhodes Scholar. Off to a great start, Mr. Boots!

Convoy.
One of the first records I ever bought. Absolutely loved the “army” like speaking on the song!

Ian..........never knew that about Mr Kristofferson, quite a guy and total respect Tommy........yeah i had it on vinyl as well, hard to believe it`s 46 years old
Ok a quick update....
All the front steering linkage done and also all the twin rear axle suspension as well, so far it all seems to sit level but i`ll dry fit some wheels to make doubley sure..
Sorry about pics but Black is a nightmare to take pics of.........hopefully once i get some primer on it will pop the detail
More soon

Ok chaps............bit more done,
Radiator, fuel tank supports, rear mudguards, a couple of small airlines from 1mm copper wire (although theyre probably not going to be seen)............and a dry fit of the wheels, thankfully they all touch..
More as and when.........probably `donkage`

There is nothing more satisfying, than seeing all the Boots touch the deck at the same time Very nice plumbing too

Thank you matey ............i see what ya did there , i could add more plumbing but there`s really no point.......i will add some to the engine but under the chassis there`s nothing to be seen, the engine hood can be opened so there`s more chance of seeing bit` `n` bobs
