Thanks Mark.
I think I now have the fifth wheel in the proper location. I didn't glue it to the plate so I can adjust that later once I get into the tanker trailer.
So I've been sanding and test fitting everything about the cab. I now have the base of the interior mocked up and sitting the nice and flat. Of course with the warp in the cab and with cutting out the doors it took a little bit of work to get everything lined up.
Here is a shot from the front end. It's starting to look like a DR now.
I got the doors lined up and hinged. I may have used hinges which are a little to big for model trucks. They were the smallest thing I could find locally so I hope they look OK.
This next shot is of the floor inside the truck. I managed to get the engine tunnel in place along with the firewall. the kit parts for these took a bit to get them lined up properly. Adding strips of evergreen plastic, sanding (repeat 101 times) and I am almost there.
The hinges won't be noticed once I build the door jams and add the interior door panels I have already created.
It's nice to be back at the bench muddling my way through this build. Don't get me wrong, I am loving every moment of this build.
Thanks for looking everyone!
Rob
