Mopar - D Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I really appreciate everyone’s comments here. I’ve added some checkered plate on the frame. Was able to see it in one of the pictures I have. I had a good weather day for painting and had the cab ready. I’ve also started work on the trailer and mocked up with the 15” wheels. I’m going to fill in the existing wheel openings and add some filler in front of the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Thanks Jeff and Brian I’ve done a little more on the mock up of the trailer. Now I just have to replace the paper with plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks Brian. My PE material for the stack shelf came in today to allow me to finish it. Also sprayed on a second coat of blue and have finished the trailer suspension change over for the 15” wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Working on the sides now have the wheel openings and the added section on the bottom in place. Still have to add the stripes on the wheel openings sections to match the existing sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yeah, this baby is coming together... Very nice work, thus far... I'm digging the new lines you put in... Those look pretty awesome... Excellent job.... The trailer looks good, too... Nice work on the wheels.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks Carl and Ken Thanks JT have you lost power? I’ve been out since 2AM. I was able to get some more progress on the cab and installed the doors on the trailer. To dark now for pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Man all those hoses and wiring really look good Awesome work on the glass , the few resin cabs I've done had really challenged me fitting the glass tightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks Jeff I’ve found that if I sand the inside of the window and make a grove it helps. Flat windshields also help. Not much progress to post so far this week with out power and cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzekeg Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Dan you're moving right along on a big project. you have done a bunch already. love your choice and build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks Ken. I’m having fun with this one. Back home now with power back on to. I’ve made the cab air defectors and have them ready for blue paint. I’ve also finished the sides of the trailer and getting ready for the blue paint. Then when my red, green and yellow paint arrives I will paint the stripes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
