broch Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Hi guys! Haven't had tme to do much the last weeks. School are takeing to much of the time, and have had other things to do also (not better things ) Just want to show another prosject that I have been working on for some time. It's a Ford LN 8000 Shorthauler. Almost done, just have to put on another layer with paint after some problems with the last paint job. Got some holes in the paint, not very nice. Are going to put a single pipe on the right side of it also. Enjoy! Here the truck are put together to see how it will look like. The fuel tanks have been paintet flat black, think it looks bether than chrome. Have thought about stripping the rims and bumper also, but not sure about it.

455 Rocket Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Looks good with the chrome grill and rims. If you go with painted rims I'd find some 2 hole Budds. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the L8000 dumper you have build. Looks very clean and nice. How have you got the emblem on the side of the hood? Would like to have this on mine too Have you printed or painted them yourself?

Turbokid Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Looks very good but I think the fifth wheel needs to be stripped of chrome and painted a different color. Just my $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Looks nice. I agree, the 5th wheel needs to be stripped of the chrome. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broch Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I coudn't agree more with you guys! So that's why it was stripped a couple a weeks ago. It's just the picture that's to old Haven't paintet it yet, but going to do it as soon as posible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to have this on mine too Have you printed or painted them yourself? I didn't paint the L8000, but I did paint the FORD lettering. I believe there is someone that's producing the lettering as a decal, but I can't recall who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The person who made the Ford logo decals was Dan Poulin from DMTW. He & I worked together to make them. The "FORD" for the front of the hood is a little small, but they look pretty good. He sent me several sets before he closed down. Unfortunately, he still has the master file.
