  1. Dennis, You are moving right along on this build. I like that suspension set up. Your bow with the steps looks great. And you paint job looks real good as well ! Be Well Gator
  2. Darren, An idea for your trike trailer. When I had my trike. The trailer was a t configuration with a expanded mesh deck over the rear axle ( actually there was no axle per se. just VW axles welded to the angle iron box frame.) And the tongue was a 4 wide channel ( this is where the front wheel rode ) A boat crank on a upright post . And of course the ball hitch and chains. AT the rear of the platform was a full with drop down ramp That when raise was supported by two bar ( one on each side ) The fenders where a couple of motorcycle front fenders . Yes the trailer was basic and not fancy. there were no springs or shocks. In Florida a three wheel vehicle under 1,500 lbs is considered a motor cycle ( trike ) I hope that description makes sense. I do not have any pictures of the trailer. I do have some of the trike. but I need to find them lol Looking forward to this addition to the Tiki project Be Well Gator

  8. Bill, Glad to see you back at the hobby bench. I like what you've done thus far. Its looking pretty good. Be Well Gator
  9. Jordan, You did a pretty good job building that up into a decent looking working truck. I have a couple of those and have not been able to get rid of them. So they will end up as construction trucks. Be Well Gator
  10. That looks real good ! You did a super job on it. Nice sharp paint lines. Be Well Gator
  11. Mark, That looks good. Being a machinist can be a big advantage for you. Be Well Gator
  12. I agree with all of these comments ! Be Well Gator
  13. Nice work on this project thus far! Be Well Gator
  14. Mark, Judging by the photos of what you've done so far. I doubt you will have any problems here . Besides like Jonathon said. "This side of the Forum is the Gentle Giant !" I will be looking forward to seeing your boom cylinders ! Be Well Gator
  15. Hmmmm ! I am liking what I see here . There is nothing wrong with your modeling skills ,that is for sure. That paint looked great. Too bad it didn't work out for you. As for the crazing paint .I would strip it all the way down, Then scrub it with a toothbrush with some scouring powder. Then wash well in warm soapy water and rinse well. That should do the trick, I like what you did to the bed of the truck. Good luck with the fender repainting. Be Well Gator
  16. Darren , Glad you like the Trike kit and decals! ;-)) Oh I think the ghosting will work well on this project ! Be Well Gator
  17. Jan, You did a real nice job on that Honcho ! I have two of them I want to finish up as company work trucks but can't find the windshields. :-( Be Well Gator
  18. Dan, The Dodge emblems looks good. Where did you get the chrome powder? Do they have other powders for like steel or stainless steel? Be Well Gator
  19. Pat, I think the wire hinge is the better choice ! And the interior is also looking real good. great look work here. Be Well Gator
  20. Rob, The work you've done so far looks real good. keep at, and remember keep on having fun! Be Well Gator

  22. I like both of your projects. I like the idea of the 4X4 Elkie , that is just cool. And the panel truck, well I am partial to them , and the 4X4 conversion . Be Well Gator
  23. Michael, That is one really fine looking example of the Alaska hauler. And I whole heartedly agree with everyone elses comments on the satin paint job, your wheel and tires choice is spot on. Be Well Gator
  24. Jan, You did a excellent job on this one. And I agree about not using those decals that come with the kit. I think this truck looks pretty good in the plain Jane wrapper . Be Well Gator
  25. Juergen, That is one really fine looking custom truck and trailer. You did a fantastic job on this one ! Be Well Gator
