gotnitro? Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 The cab finally found its way onto the chassis, now the part I like almost as much as fabrication...detailing . I kinda screwed up attaching the blower , now I can't plumb the lines without breaking stuff off..maybe next time on an Oshkosh ! This is curbside , so I'll cheat a stack onto cab. Installing the cab really made me want to wrap this up.. I found some acrylic dullcoat at lhs, shooting testors hot lacquer dullcoat over this would be catastrophic. Thanks for everyone's feedback, I appreciate the comments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Some fantastic work there. I just saw on the news a snow plow in Texas that was like a tractor trailer set up.....huge double wing plow up front and side wings on the trailer....high mounted cab......anyone know who/what this was???

Warren D Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Looks great so far. Mission Models makes acrylic flat and gloss. I actually find their gloss to be more luster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NYSDOT uses a similar unit for clearing the highways, its exactly that a trailer snowplow or sander they operate from the truck . The ones I've seen here in upstate NY were usually Mack Granites or IH Workstars . 2 hours ago, Chariots of Fire said: Don't forget the door handles and mirrors! Looking real good! Nope haven't forgot them, just waiting so they don't get broken off lol. Thanks 1 hour ago, Warren D said: Looks great so far. Mission Models makes acrylic flat and gloss.

gotnitro? Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Puttered w RM today while daughter slept in, added most of the smaller details id left off . The exhaust pipes drying and its basically just waiting on decals and dullcoat. I made up some D rings on the front frame , plow lights on the back from spare parts and fabbed up the lift chains ... I was so excited I decided to fire up the blower engine that it spit oil all over the top cover lol . I might add some plow lights and mounts from the grill, seems like there should be more lighting for those late night clean outs Edited February 20, 2021 by gotnitro?
