I am took that same model and making a stretched car hauler with a low fifth wheel for the trailer. Keep an eye out for it. I am going to watch this one alot.

pharr7226 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Somehow I missed the updates on this last week. You're doing some fantastic work on this beast. I love all the scratch built goodies, but the steering is off the charts. Oops, wait a minute. I have to clean the drool of my keyboard.

Tumbler75 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Movin' right along! You are going to need an entire shelf unit or display cabinet to show this beauty off when you are done! I like the conversion, stretching, and twin steering! Something you don't see that often in kit form. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! thanks for the compliment my friend On the really crazy side heres my latest update remember I said this would be a fully lighted project? well...I started work on the side markers and here what I have so far. I recieved 30 of these very small LED's in the mail and got busy with the side markers So i marked off the places where I wanted the lights to go and drilled small holes in which the LED's would go.... placement of the LED's I used CA glue to hold them in place.... here you can barley see the wires soldered together.... here the side markers lit up I still have to make the chrome bezels and they need to be filed flat as there is a round end on them... Stay tuned for more to come. Edited September 28, 2010 by Aftashox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
