Chariots of Fire Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Hey, Bob! In the Tutorial portion of the forum I just posted a "how to" on making a piston/cylinder that will stay together. Hope it helps.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Looking good! I like your start to the Cummins!
hct728(Bob) Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Been a while since I updated things! Got a lot of work done on the Cummins 5.9L engine, still needs cleanup and the fuel plumbing in this picture Edited June 11, 2019 by hct728(Bob) Bad picture
hct728(Bob) Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 Just one more, a group shot taken in March. Still fiddling with the many details...
Scalper Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 She's looking good.. cant wait to see this in person.

Lots of fiddly parts for my mitts to handle, but they work and the stroke now has a limit when extended!

Thanks, but don't look too close, as it will be a three footer for sure! Still haven't decided what colour to paint it, most are white but yellow or red with some stripes would sure stand out on the contest table (and on the shelf for three foot viewing). Needs a trailer too, maybe an ice cream reefer - wonder what decals are in the Moebius trailer kits
wrenchr Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Just seen this, wow!! I want to build one myself. Very impressed.
Vince66 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Way cool seen many a yard dog picking up or dropping off loads at the Shipper/Consignee. Looks the part.
hct728(Bob) Posted November 4, 2020 Author Posted November 4, 2020 Has it been a year already? It’s done! Painting went very slowly, as I found yellow seems to be very translucent and takes many coats to cover properly, then you go ruin it with the weathering, LOL! The last touch was making up air lines, which I plan to add to my other builds
kilrathy10 Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 This is killer!! Very nice work.... Great weathering... Looks awesome...
gotnitro? Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 That looks fantastic ! Excellent weathering to add dimension and show off the fine detail work
Biggu Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Incredible scratch building skills..... this is fantastic !!
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Great work!! I’ve been wanting to see this one done for some time now. It looks great! I watched your build closely and took notes because I “hope” to build an early 70s version some time. It is a gas burner with a sliding back window only and no rear door. Top notch work for sure!
Chariots of Fire Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Bob, that's a great piece of work. Weathering and wear in just the right places not to mention all of the scratch building that went into it. Thanks for sharing!!?
Tom Geiger Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I like it! Great scratch building project !
