  1. Mock up time ! Using the round fuel tank option, installed the proper hangers and rear cab support. Next up I gotta scratch the air blower / vacuum canisters used to power the pneumatic trailer .I'm testing a few spare air cleaners from parts kits
  2. Awesome build, but I gotta ask where did you find the meat lol
  3. You'll probably have it done this weekend! Imagine paints already laid down curing
  4. Good work thus far What's reason for deleting the cowl vent ? Its gonna be a great looking dump truck.
  5. Heres Keystones info if anyone is interested
  6. Wow awesome work on making it a day cab nice tip using the door jamb
  7. I sorted out the frame issue , and moved on to the engine while everything dried . I'm searching for pics of the injection lines and plumbing for the Maxidyne engine to add some needed detail Jeff
  8. I used the Ford f350 dually reissue , tossed the boring motor for a 2016 Ford Coyote 5.0..then got bored w it..someday Think the 5.0 is going into the Foose FD 100?
  9. That tanker w a blemished one I purchased from Doug, the ends were screwed up, the primed one was perfect
  10. Heres the 3 pot pneumatic tanker doug has for sale A fun mockup of how they look w my scratchbuilt frame and Husky power
  11. Wow cool project ! I have a 53 crew car hauler I painted then lost interest. Cool idea chopping the back half making a regular cab What frame ya sticking under it, mine was the Ford dually
  12. The tank is 3d printed and purchased from keystone aluminum model miniatures aka doug Wagner. The frame is 100 percent scratch
  13. Spoke w a buddy said that rod is correct, advised building the susp first then attaching the sub assembly...back to interpreting the pictures
  14. Bare plastic here if I haven't done any significant body work. Coming from the armor side , spraying primer was frowned upon since details would get covered up. I figure the plastic is smooth enough after a proper cleaning
  15. Cant wait to see your progress, the color choice sounds great
  16. Ben -Thanks for the Intel on the stone guards
  17. First update for the kickoff..the frame going together. I cleaned off the ejector pins inside the frame rails for better fit..guess it helped . Of course with these amt kits..fits together and good instructions are subjective..still haven't figured out the fit of the trunnion support rod. Instructions show the bar fitting down in the fish mouth grooves..not happening. Any tips ? Jeff
  18. Very cool truck ! What's the purpose of the screen below the windshield ? I assume it's an aussie thing since it has a roo catcher too, stone deflector maybe ? The reason I ask theres pics of aMack Ultraliner with the same screen looks killer
  19. Thanks Brian ! I'm starting the build today..just a few errands to tackle ! Quick visit to eye dr for new glasses , been noticing a change sucks getting old
  20. Which artograph booth do u have ? I just ordered the 1530 for painting after talking w tbill who owns one and highly endorsed it. Venting it outdoors thru a window should handle most your fumes I've also used Createx Wicked Paints and love them..but their not available in spray cans
