hooknladderno1 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Great job on this Wil! You mentioned fit problems - can you tell us a little more about that? I bought a spray booth and LOVE it! The Artograph 1530 is great because of it's 30" width, it can handle most truck models! Prices are coming down on them and it came very well packaged. I too have one of these waiting to be built, probably as a fire service tanker/tender. Congrats on your retirement ans happy building!

will69 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 The biggest problem I had was getting the tilt f/e to line up. Had to make my own hinges out of plastistruct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
