Chariots of Fire Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) It's been a few months now since this project started. It had its moments but we got through them! The hose bed has been filled, and all is ready to go. Thanks for all of the comments that were received during the building process. It has been fun, even with the glitches along the way.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I am not familiar with enough words to describe how incredible this build has been from start to finish. This one takes building to whole new level. Excellent Work!!!!!
Tesla Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I've enjoyed following this project and I can appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this build. Another museum quality build!
redneckrigger Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Absolutely breathtaking Charlie. Every time you make a post of ANYTHING you are building, I learn something new.............a way to do something, a new material, a new idea, and if I can actually put 5% of that knowledge to work, I will improve my skills by 100%! WOW!
truckabilly Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Truly amazing pumper. I looked at the work bench section again to remind me how this build came into being. You have done a fantastic job and that includes the painting. If I may have one question, how did you make the hoses? They look fantastic too.
D. Battista Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Hard to top what everyone said..... Outstanding build...!!

You have done a fantastic job and that includes the painting. If I may have one question, how did you make the hoses? They look fantastic too.The hose in the bed is sewing elastic that was given a wash of Tamiya light tan acrylic thinned with water. It comes in two basic sizes, 1/8" and 1/4" and is white. The hard suction on the left side of the truck is plastic tubing wrapped in masking tape and painted flat black.
