MachinistMark Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 This is the start to some scratch built fuel tanks for itI'll machine some end caps for it from bar stock to for inside the tubing and tig weld them on them machine the welds off smooth and polish them. I'll laser cut some .020 stainless straps for them and machine some filler necks from bar stock as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachinistMark Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Some new bits, exhaust brackets for cab and running boards to go on the tanks. Made them to mimic that expanded mesh grating you often see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachinistMark Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 12 hour day at work yesterday so no progress to report today but tonight I hope to get the interior finished up and maybe some primer on the cab and wrecker body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariots of Fire Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Mark: Give some thought to using aluminum tubing for the hydraulic cylinders. By using telescoping tubing you can easily make the assembly so that the piston end of it moves in and out nicely. Here's one I did as an example.

MachinistMark Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 That is one idea I've had rattling around and the other was to use actual solid round bar to machine them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachinistMark Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 One step forward... 2 steps back. The step forward is I got theInjector lines finished...the step back is my airbrush has stopped working properly frustrating since it worked fine last week (it's new to me my first dual action brush a badger 150) one head won't spray at all just bubbles in the jar. The other head will spray but only in pulses. I'm going to try to get another head this week as I think the nozzle is junk in the bubbles one.
