Here's another look at Jim Groeneweg's Mack RD featuring a hollowed out Ralph Ratcliffe resin cab mounted on a modified Athearn chassis with twin steering axles with 72" spread axles both front and rear. The Athearn front wheels were modified to super singles and Boley six spoke rear wheels installed on the rear. A Herpa mixer drum with various scratchbuilt parts and peices from the "spare parts box" comprise the mixer drum and drive mechanism. The windshield is from Todd Terpstra and water hose on the drum is copper wire. Testors grey for the drum and custom mix green model paint with auto clear coat provides protection for the cab. Also shown in Photo Gallery 222.
