Going off script certainly wasn't 'barking on the wrong tree' :)
It's looking very good.

Chuck That is an incredible piece of work. Well done. I have to say that I love the numbered yellow chain guard...it turns the vehicle into real eye catcher.

You may ask yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"

Continuing work on the sled. Playing with more wood effects and debris. Just installed the tractor axle support blocks and the decking that will be underneath it.

It's just fabulous , the grain, the spits , the colour and the staining , the mix of debris  and just the overall control of every little bit and nuance

I agree. Nothing there to nitpick. -- Russ

Like Gordon said, the colors, texture and everything else are spot on!

Especially the second pictures with the oil and gasoline blotches looks phantastic.

I just have to laugh in disbelief.
There is absolutely no way to top this.

This is really almost indistinguishable from the original. Especially the oil stains are absolutely realistic.

Chuck,

which kind of wood did you use for the planks? Did you do the saw marks by disk sander?

Cheers,

I too want to know how you did the saw blade marks. 

Or is it possible that once finished you are going to smile and say "April Fool!" because you've been working with a full sized restoration all along?
