exesivefire Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 making more progress on the box tonight.. I almost hate to cover this.. Might have to think on that one a bit.. then I had an idea... I started that S-10 years and years ago.. before I even knew any better and the chassis is not my best effort, however.... I could fix that, the "u-hauler" would make a good tow rig for a under construction mini truck project...
62pyro Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 What? No basketball game tonight? Progress looks good.I like the idea of the S-10 on a trailer.
kilrathy10 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 That is a smokin' idea with the tube through the axle....I can use that for some of my big rig stuff....Thanks for the tip....

misterNNL Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Rounding the corners of the cargo box helps soften the overall look of the whole project.Maybe this should have an ad on the sides for the "underhaulin"tv show.
exesivefire Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 It's really not much to see.. I started it before I really knew how stuff works (probably at least 12-15 years ago) the chassis is a little rough.
72 Charger Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Cool ! Are you using italeri truck rims and what size are those tyres.
Sixties Sam Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Great project, and it's looking better with each update! Very nice scratch building work! Sam

exesivefire Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 I started to sort out that engine bay, anyone that knows these AMT kits know they started life as a promo and the engine bay leaves a bit to be desired. not to mention the build this was before, I had hacked the heck out of it.. Since it had to be changed anyway, might as well smooth it out too.
62pyro Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Progress is such a great thing. I should try it some time. Looking better all the time.
426-Hemi Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 LOVE it man.. the box truck lowered and pulling a trailer with a MATCHING truck too? NICE thought out "set"!!!!!!
exesivefire Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 Time to change gears and get a power-plant for this thing. I am robbing the LS based engine and transmission from the Revell SSR kit. That could have been cool as is, but.... Well I will let the pictures do the talking. Roots style blower seems a lot more fun, I am really happy with how it came out.
426-Hemi Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah no kidding AWESOME Work on that blower! NICE job man!
fantacmet Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) On Page 3 was scratchbuilders stuff, so here this might help. https://www.dropbox.com/s/utsifpe38klg537/Scale%20Calculator%2001beta.zip?dl=0 It's a scale calculator for Windows. I created it, and it appears to work fine. If anyone notices anything with it let me know. I don't plan to ever charge for it, it's 100% free. Edited May 27, 2015 by fantacmet
