Have fun too Jacobus! Can’t wait to see that trailer come to life! The truck too of course! Lol

[jacobus]

start of building the chassis , and make a little adjustment becouse the frontaxle must about 5 mm backwards

put some plate,s on it and when its good dry a drill the holes in it for the pins of the frontsuspension

and ofcourse also the bellydumptrailer , start cutting the frame rails to the right size and clean the parts for the suspesion and the wheels

 

 

 

 

the wheels

so we go on

Great craftsmanship Jacobus!

[TECHMAN]

Great job on this build.  Enjoying the wip on the trailer as I plan to "scratch build" one of these in the future, and your build will help with mine.  Again, great job!!!
