gotnitro?

Good looking interior, nice and basic like a work truck would have What color turquoise are you using ?

Thanks Chuck! I didn't have much time this wknd, our daughters birthday party ate up 2 days..but the cupcakes were awesome! Today the rain showed up, so much for yard work yeahhhh! I'm tired of weeding flower beds lol I decided to model the T800 w dual air cleaners. The plaskit hood is designed for an internal type...so I penciled in a swoop to access the kit air cleaner holes, then sanded away the excess. If anyone decides to take this route..be forewarned theres more surgery ahead! I didn't take into account clearance for the air cleaners..photos showed the fenders are cut making little extensions. This for me is part of the fun kitbashing, finding the surprises and solving the dilemma, something I don't get from OOB. Heres where I plan to split them, right above the tape Before I broke out the razor saw a quick mockup revealed a gap between the cab and fender extensions, I might use pieces of the kit hood to fill..we'll see Thanks for following Jeff

Gotta enjoy these older truck builds ! Looking forward to your progress

Good start ! Looking forward to your progress

Well done on restoring this old farm truck

Excellent work! The wear on the dump body really turned out well, awesome contrast to the otherwise pristine build. Now ya gotta find space for this build !

Fun build, nearly falls together ! Watch the fit of the back cap, mine was warped, needed careful gluing to get it aligned.

Check st supply, he sells some emergency lights..its worth a look

Oops!

Yes tag said a 39

One of our local car cruise stops, this gorgeous 39 Chevy deluxe was getting serious attention As was this Corvair for completely different reasons..check out the hamster wheel engine

Excellent use of a printer

Nice work so far ! Seems its T800 season on the boards !

Gold is such a great color on these bodies

What did you use to skin the battery boxes? Looks like a really thin metal Really sick looking truck, gonna hear that coming a few miles away

Awesome work Love the colors

Thanks Gary ! A fellow modeler sent photos of a truck at his workplace, I kinda copied that. I'll need to make some chain hooks once the paint flies to fill those hangers

I decided since the weather today was soggy and Cats typically don't like rain, I'd better find a way to keep it dry. First up was cutting the cab firewall and floor. The frame top flange needed to be sanded away, to clear the filters, after flipping the oil pan around..the engine seemed to fit !! Ignore that 70s era metal fan, I'll have to find a plastic one, or fab one. Guess I'll need to scratch an air cooler, or charger whatever they're called that piggyback on radiator. Peeking inside to check the work ahead Last for today was building a tool box under the rack, the deck plate is Don Mills diamond plate. Thanks for following along!

Thanks for following Brian! This ones not getting a green leaker, which I'm used too

I ran into a snag, wasnt totally unexpected. The Cat wants more real estate under the hood to firewall than I currently have. Looks like I'll need to break out the wheel of death and fling some molten plastic..aka doghouse. Just because I wondered, I assembled the kit engine. The turbo hits the firewall also..heres the overall size difference between them Decided to keep building the C15..maybe these photos will help answer someone's else's questions like I faced . Overall a very detailed engine, I just drilled a few holes deeper to fit tighter I did tinker w making a jailhouse window in the headache rack..dicey sanding the very brittle parts

Now thats how to build a Demon ? Excellent work, love the butterscotch

Love that aggressive looking visor and fenders, that driver makes a statement Looking forward to more updates

Beautiful work ! The Erb decals look good

I puttered w the T800, starting on a possible engine for the build. I had ordered a C15 along with other goodies from st supply I'll leak photos of along the way..and its the 1st yellow engine I've ever built. The engine wasn't sent w instructions...and include a bunch of small parts. Luckily there's been a couple built on the forums, a quick search turned up photos. Here's what I have assembled so far...its not much, but I spent quite a while looking at photos working out how everything should go I'm leaving the valve covers off to paint separately, but hopefully I'm on the right track. I did notice a possible issue w the filter mount on the left side being very close to the frame...but recall plenty of knuckle busters working on Uncle Sam's trucks.

Incredible looking fire apparatus
