To the purple bath for them! I had the same issue with my DM600. I clipped off the horns, lights and exhaust and everything else went in the pond. What were they thinking? It's a working truck, construction, truck, it would never have any chrome on it. Just leave it in the pond till tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spruslayer Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Well,after looking at how the tilting front end works i decided to mount the radiator before priming. It looks like a lot rides on how straight and square the cab and front end sits rides on how square the radiator sits This is my attempt to get it in the chassis And some progress on the cab and engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
