Awesome !!! He's a great guy , you'll really like the parts he drew I really have trouble finding parts im searching for on there any tips

You're gonna nail this Sam ! All the members here will definitely help get ya squared away . Sorry I hacked that floor up so bad , building it as a mixer I planned keeping cab closed and just stuffed everything in the hole . I never realized until late the fans could be run off crank which really helped fit

Lol decision decision either way its gonna be sweet

Looks like a great start ! Going w am wheels will definitely set Papa off ! Are you going w the stock paint scheme or something else Looking forward to your updates

Fantastic scratchbuilding Tom ! The grill blows my mind See ya plunked a Detroit in there too hooray !

Very nice work Pat ! Can't wait too see the wrecker bed and chassis this goes with

Ditto ^^^^ x2 fantastic work . Theres outriggers and d rings available on shapeways too. Designed by down range productions i think. Matt leese made em and their very nice

Sam - glad Brian chimed in with more info , he's built more cab overs and know the tricks ! I just rushed thru causing myself issues lol Squirrels had me looking at other ideas right after opening the box

Sorry to hear about your loss sir , don't feel rushed in any way. If we need a year to get everyone finished I totally would extend deadline to dec thats not a problem Couple builders here are almost done now lol

Cant go wrong w a Detroit!!! Hopefully you'll have clearance enough if ya choose the 8v

Correct the brbo runs 6 months

Sam we extended the 20 brbo for 6 months due to the covid lockdown allowing folks a fair chance at finishing. I wasn't sure what previous years had done

Nice and greasy engine ! Well used Would the turbo have a rusty finish from the heat generated ?

Your definitely able to join us , there's really no rules per say . Start a separate post w brbo 21 in title and build away . Theres no requirement for monthly updates this time, deadline is June 30th . Once your builds complete, post a few photos under glass . Thats about it welcome to the brbo 21

Good looking progress cant wait to see more

Man that looks sinister !!! Perfect stance and those black wheels w gleaming rotors..nailed it

Gorgeous work

Nice plumbing job !! Glad we got ya back into building

Hahhaha yeah sometimes my ocd kicks in and ill try adding everything. Years of building armor was root cause , some call it rivet counting My squirrels..whoa they are well fed around here , luckily I'm staying the course w this Cant believe they made it , almost blew it there in the end . I'm actually a Saints fan so today is our game ..who knows how fate will play out

Playoffs were on..so I headed to the bench for more build time ! Built up a set of walkway hangers based off photos I took a few days ago. I'd wished now I'd taken a quick measurement but eye balling this one . Couple triangle braces , u channel in center w angle extensions ..typical Oshkosh fabrication built heavy Kept looking at photos , and wanted to try building a rain cap on the blower engine exhaust stack.. Thats it for today, thanks for following!

Cab is painted w tamiya mica red , primer should be their fine white . Dunno whether i cleared it , it would've been testors wet look if so

Lol these older trucks just look awesome to me , probably why I prefer to build the older steel working trucks ! Eventually I'll drop an autocar cab on a scratchbuilt refuse truck ive wanted to build

Gorgeous build

Wow the voting is CLOSE !!!! Really excited to see the outcome when poll closes next Friday

This is gonna be awesome theres so many choices to personalize it ! The small dump box definitely looks good on it
