denis speed shop Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) here are some new details I had to face that my mockups were too fragile If I had to redo this in the future, I would proceed totally differently We are still learning, right? In any case, to strengthen everything together, I had to use a metal rod it's not that great, I would have liked to avoid it but I could not paint the whole thing and then realise that it fall appart when putting the wheels on it. You will notice that I reversed the front crossbar so that it will be used to support the engine block I still have to add small studs and it should go I like the final height I think the look is pleasant [/URL Edited May 8, 2019 by denis speed shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis speed shop Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks for the kind words so far guys ! I couldn't find enough free times to work on the 40 only small adjustments to make some room to add an electric fan on the radiator and reduce the trans lenght. After this I tried to match the 40 and 32 dashes and I think it’s a match ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis speed shop Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 small updates as I think I'm done with heavy mods. Now it's time to create a air tank (plastic pen section) + compressors (misc parts from an old 50 ford I think) The electric fan is wired and so will be the second one I planned to put behind the cab. Stay tuned ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any difficulties in fitting the parts? Main difficulties were not based on the scale differences but because I was nearly modifying everything in a "try and error" mode. It's part of the game. This is where the fun is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
