semijoe

i mounted the actuator too. i still have quite few parts to make still. but i figure i show some pictures pull rods are on spacers are in electronics are up and running, still along way to go though small update i received in nother batch of micro screws and wow was a difference it makes i started with the sides of the topper and the floor also added some to the top of the engine compartment

ok thnx for all the guys that sent me some pictures they really help out i did some more on the topper, next is the snozzle was looking a bunch of different pictures sent to me by alot of people, 1st of all thank you! 2nd , i would have to say that almost every single truck was different in some or another i work the tank topper today. hopefully this is close wahoo! the actuator cam in and have to say ,its perfect for what im looking for i made the main joint cup, the 1st lower boom is 278mm long, then the knuckle and then the main boom , which is 580mm long

today i started on the cab steps, i wanted to keep it the brush alum look. so i bought a very thin peice of alum i will top it off with a peice of diamond plate too there a door next to the step.for some reason they look chrome. so made it out of .040 styrene and chrome decal, added some screw the top front boxes is about ready for paint. im going to add a top lamp you really dont know how much detail is in one of these trucks untill you build one. wow time to put the top lights on the top the upper window, to hide the wiring i used 2 peice of hollow square tubing, then down the bac

she painted i need to add some kind of bracket to the roof to hold down the grate once that done i can paint the roof had some time today to start thinking about mounting the engine i finally figured it all out. i know its not a v-8 but its a straight six will have to do i prefitted the motor mounts. tomorrow i will really get into it cut the rails a little off and paint the them. make a radiator , fan and some pullies so i have the rails for the rear section painted the rack in the back of the engine is built i put an aircleaner in ran the exhaust

through the whole chassis and cant see any issues i made rear fenders im going with a different motor and tranny for torque, this truck will be heavier then the 4x4, needing more power the engine compartment will be empty . i have the perfect solution for that area i just got word my water tank is ready tomorrow i should have fenders in paint and be back on track oh ya rear steer is hooked up and ready i started on the making the window area the window is removable with screws and the mounting too is removable next is the grate covering the window

worked on the dashboard today i hand to keep in mind to make it removable. so it has 2x mounting screws through the front face plate this about all i can do for the interior untill i see where the electronics go but i would like to do door panels and seats. so if somebody has pictures of this .that would be greatly appreciated ive started on the bumper mounted cannon it does work left/right and up/down i need still have alot work with it. but the basics is started

for now the face plate and bumper is done still alot more to do but the basics is all done tomorrow i will get started on the sides of the cab still didnt finish the rivets. but heres what i have for so far. hopefully you can see them heres a little update not much of an update , but baby steps it is really getting busy in shop,sense summer is coming and guys are getting the inchies for there truck ive installed the rear grill. theres a butt load of lights to be put in. waiting on lenses to come in. but later today i will put the rivets on the other side

well, its rough cut right now. on the sides of the bumpers are turn signals too. i will put those in tomorow alot work to do on this bumper. i was going to put a static water cannon here. but i think i can make a working one here, will see! im still working on the front bumper. theres a lot of stuff thats involve in making this function ive decided to make a working bumper mounted water cannon. it will turn l/r but not up/down i needed to make a compartment that was accessible also install pull ring and fog lights
