Two fuel tanks built, eight mounting brackets made, need four more brackets, then can assemble. Next, battery boxes.

Such a cool project

The color and chrome look so good together.

Started this build some time ago. While waiting on parts for two other builds, thought I would throw it back on the bench. Will be a mild custom with fenders, larger fuel tanks, maybe do something with the battery boxes, aftermarket exhaust, headache rack and so on. Will follow the colors of my growing fleet. Got a couple trailer ideas but will see where this goes. did a lot of work to the front axle to get wider tires to fit in the fenders.

Looking good

Great start

Impressive work

Will be a good project.

I have two sets of 1-2-3 blocks, here I am using them to square the backing plates on a rear axle, the parallels are used to fixture a mockup. You can get these on eBay or Harbor Freight.

Noticed that you use V- blocks for your mockups, I do exactly the same and just purchased a new set of 1-2-3 blocks and a set a precision parallels. They really help set up a mock-up.

Well done

Cool project

Thanks Ron

Thank you Dom

Thank you

Can’t wait to see this come together. If you need any Freightliner cab parts, let me know. I have bought a couple kits to steal frame, drive and axles from, but have no use for all the cab stuff.

I see a project a brewing ???

Really nice, I need to find a cabinet like that.

Yeeeaaaaa……I really wanted to do a box build, something simple ……but here I go again.

It was an eBay purchase, I thought about building that cab as 1:24, but it still looks to big.

Trailer coming together

Such a cool build, well detailed and love the colors. Well done

Outstanding build Warren

That would be a cool build, I have been looking at this Pikes Peak truck.
