Sure did, we had to carve them out of stone though. We had to walk, not ride, to our local Home Depot to get the tools we needed, then pick up a log or two at Woodworker's Supply on the way back home. Yup, it was really tough work back in those days..... Icon_lol Icon_lol

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

Well - just did a bit more... I started placing the floor boards and I actually found a plastic tube (not shown) that I can use for the wiring to have a light and the speaker for the chug chug sound Smile Smile

Looking downward. The first 3 1" wide floor boards are being glued.

Yeah, if i remember Misngth next time....

For reference - it's about 14" long and each of the "floor boards" are 1" wide X 3.5" long..

Well - as I passed by the work room on my way out, I finished gluing the floorboards in place......
   

   

Then after I got home, I took this for David & Tyson Big Grin
12" ruler with the "12" to the left on the rear edge of the flooring.....
Tyson - This shows the "Skirt" effect I was hoping for, hiding the undercarriage and most of the driver wheels.
   

And one showing that the cab will be 4.25 inches side to side (for David) Misngth
   

and finally - the wiring for the light (2 red) and the chug-chug sound (red & black) are threaded through the floorboards Goldth
