Hello all, it’s been a crazy last four months, as we all have had to deal with the new normal. My wife had a cancer scare and major surgery ( all good now?). I spent 5 days in isolation suffering from our wonderful new virus (all good too). Been pretty much creeping through the builds for a bit but sitting at the bench more here lately. Here’s pics of the progress on the pneumatic trailer. I put all of the plates down and made the weld seams on the tanks. The seams are made from Milliput and the welds are from plastic tubing. The piece that’s taped is for the mounting braces. Not sure what I will do there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
Finally had some bench time this weekend. Made good progress on the build. Fenders both front and rear, valves on the pneumatic tank, and finished the front of the trailer by adding 5th wheel plate and front crossmember. I will work on the front and rear supports next.Slow progress but making headway.
Ok, back in the saddle after another change of plans. Valves and rims from Moluminum are in. Chassis is near completion. I need to move the landing gear back a bit and start cutting out the frame rails so the tank can settle in. Using 5 hole Budds for rims with Italeri tires.
Thank you, Francis. I don’t remember seeing any of these on the road, but I have seen a few at truck shows many years ago.
Thanks. It’s definitely a boxy cab.
Thanks DJ. Yes, the cab is from Dave and was great as always.
