  1. Was just thinking that, man you got some serious pressure ……..and we are all watching. You got this.
  2. Such an impressive build and a great engineering feat as well.
  3. Thanks for looking guys. The fixture I am using is from Auslowe and is very key to getting everything aligned, don’t want saggy fenders. The red and green stands come with the fixture plus some shims based on tire height. When you order the fenders (they are resin cast and require some cleanup), they come with the aluminum rods, frame mounts, and some really delicate fender mounts. They are time consuming to prep the fenders, define where the rod crosses and then assemble in the fixture. I’ve got about three hours so far in them. But the added fenders really bring some life to the build.
  4. Wow, you guys knocked that outa the park………teamwork🏆🏆🏆🏆
  5. Hanging fenders today, had to use spacers under stands due to taller tires to get fenders aligned.
  6. Hey Steve, yes the tank is scratch built, got to make a matching one, then all the brackets. Had to get the length correct. the green stands come with Auslow fender mounting fixture, the white ones are homemade, I have several sizes.
  7. Found enough parts in my boxes to build up these fenders.
  8. New frame, axles and tire/wheel combo with correct offsets. Front flares now fit better, tank length fits and going with these fenders. Going to drop the sleeper and build a cool headache rack instead. Going for mild custom work truck with day cab.
  9. Your weathering skills look so natural, wish I had those skills. Well done.
  10. What a cool rig, and kudos to your imagination. To print/build nearly every component is impressive and a sure sign of the future of modeling. Well done.
  11. Wow, Steve, this shaping to an outstanding build, a well finished truck.
  12. Now that is a cool build, well done, got some skill/knowledge right there.
  13. Actually, there are several items that caught my eye, could use a set of battery boxes for my KW 925 build.
  14. I have not, but thanks for the tip, will check them out.
  15. Wow, that dash looks impressive, very well done
  16. That was fun, and caused me to do a little reading. Apparently after retiring for 5 years now I had forgotten some stuff. But all in all, nice job Jeff. Good exercise in thermoforming.
  17. Fantastic build, sure looks good.
  18. There are some kits out there, Sourkraut Model Trucks actually has a few different versions, but they sell out fast. https://www.sourkrautsmodeltrucks.net/modeltrucks/p/tri-axle-retachable-goose-neck-dropceck-trailer
