Superpeterbilt Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Got a little more done to the front bumper, several coats of primer on the cab and about 2 hours of sanding, more frame bolts, and added air tanks. I shortened a light bar from the Pete Wrecker kit for the headache rack. Mr. Oscar checking out the progress.

Superpeterbilt Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Small update, I spent the day reworking some things on the trailers. The 5 axle suspension was just mocked up, so I got that built out most of the way. I completely tore the jeep down and reshaped it, and rebuilt it. I also think Im going to just leave it as a tandem instead of a tri axle. Im not really basing the design on anything, Im just working out of my head. I literally just sketched a shape on sheet styrene and cut it out. So that I reshaped it and am satisfied with it, I can work on getting it finished. It doesnt look like much, but it was a lot of rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Small update: I made a specialized bender to make my exhaust. I tested it out on the first set for the Brockway. Its not perfect, but the bender worked ok. Im going to remake the driver side pipe. Im not sure if I want to keep the curved tips or go with straights. I dremeled out the grill to put in some PE mesh. More to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 I modified and installed a PTO from a diecast truck and a pillow block bearing. Heres a shot of the gear and offset shaft mounted under the winch cradle in two pillow blocks. Thix will be connected by chain to the shaft under the truck. Construction on the jeep is done except for brakes. I robbed a set of landing gear grom the Italeri dump trailer. I was going to scratch a set, but time is crunching.

Petetrucker07 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 This is lookin really good. The stacks look good short, but i dont which would be better miter or curve. The curve looks good but i think miter cut would look good too. Keep up the awesome work Terry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
