gotnitro?

Nice start ! Another cool build for the display, and bed for storing another project lol

Thanks ! It won't be nearly as gorgeous as your Challenger, but a proper work truck. I just received the delivery tracking for all my inbound parts, so I should have a large amount to paint .

Nothing more beautiful than a Countach growing up My dad still has my poster above his toolbox

Excellent work turned out phenomenal

Fabulous stripe work, glad ya stuck w them.

The hydraulic tank and pusher cylinder is wrapped up, as is the front controls to empty the packer. The cylinder is telescopic tube mounted w tabs . I decided to make everything functional to pose the pusher after paint . The tank is detailed w meng bolts, and the drain valve is an etch emblem from a 69 Camaro...forgive me its the closest I had. Theres even a site glass to check the oil level lol The pusher cylinder empties the garbage once full.. Last thing before I could start primer was the front controls. A couple sewing pins mounted to some square tube seemed to look close There will be a conduit of pipes running from the tank and controls, so after paint I'll add them. .032 solder wire is tasked w seed beads for hydraulic fittings

Outstanding but subtle weathering ! Well done

Nice looking interior

Looks good nice progress

Little wknd sneak peak .. Huge mock up after getting the tailgate to function. The tires are just place holders till the real ones arrive from Moluminum. I realized I was missing a bunch of chassis parts from this parts box. A quick search on eBay net me an entire chassis bundle ..yeah more parts lol. I'm planning to shoot some primer on the packer after I fab the hydro tank

I think it was the radiator right Cole? Best race movie ever lol Doesn't hurt Robert Duval reminds me of my late grandfather

Thanks , and glad it brought back memories! A couple worker was a trash man also, been fun showing the progress photos. He's helped answer several questions along the way. I plan to add some trash to the hopper w paint wear..dunno about the scale smell though lol. Thanks ! Very helpful tip

Wrapped up the blade scraper/ carrier assembly. I wanted the cylinders functional, and after a chat w Tom Decker, came up w a solution. Its basically a set of telescopic tubes, then I added a machine screw to keep tube from sliding out. The end is a tapered cap, hiding the screw ! After building 4 of these, drilling out the attachment points, then fitting together I mocked everything up. I hid a bit of angle underneath keeping the parts from shifting around. A view from the hopper I started the top cover and light bar next. Once the interior is painted this will get permanently attached Thanks for following

nice start on your Ford looking forward to your progress

Excellent job and stellar details

Fantastic color choice

Nice mockup and start on the steps / battery box

Whichever body you choose will make an outstanding build..following

Good looking pair

Thanks..she's a Cat not a Dog lol

Here's the goodies still to be installed to finish off this build. Proper rectangular air horns from ST supply, and etch goodies from CTM. Every time I see this mixer , it brings a smile. These colors are totally different from anything I usually build

Looks good !!! Don't forget the floor lined w ammo cans ! There was a special on tv showing all these nam built gun trucks ..amazing the purpose built fabrication that went into each one by their crews

C- cabs were everywhere growing up ! Now all I see are Mack cabovers

No pressure...nudge nudge lol Wife has next few days off so I'll have time to putter w mixer. Found my transfer numbers for the unit numbers too

Thank you there's a few more details to add before it moves under glass
