Jim. Wish I could help you find the hood ornament you want. Got me thinking of my Dad, he drove tank wagon for transport Service co. for 30yrs They had Macks. My Dad had a Mack Bulldog on the hood of his cars for yr's. The eyes lit-up. Hope you find it & thanks!

Sorry, John just read this here now but had answered your email you but it came back because I used the wrong address. Using the one it came from, the forum. I have 20 or so cast up and gears machined and just started to put them together but it's major task with getting everything set up to finish them. Maybe in the future I can get time to finish them.

I also did the Wiggle Co. ornaments. The one with spinner under the motometer was my redo since I didn't want the one on top as they did it but I also wanted a motometer for temp checks.
