Mopar - D Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 I really appreciate everyone’s comments here. I’ve added some checkered plate on the frame. Was able to see it in one of the pictures I have. I had a good weather day for painting and had the cab ready. I’ve also started work on the trailer and mocked up with the 15” wheels. I’m going to fill in the existing wheel openings and add some filler in front of the wheels.
gotnitro? Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Looks impressive even this early in the game !
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 This one is really coming together. Looks great!
Mopar - D Posted February 6, 2021 Author Posted February 6, 2021 Thanks Jeff and Brian I’ve done a little more on the mock up of the trailer. Now I just have to replace the paper with plastic.
Dutzie Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Looks like a pretty cool build! Can’t wait to see the final update.
Mopar - D Posted February 7, 2021 Author Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks Brian. My PE material for the stack shelf came in today to allow me to finish it. Also sprayed on a second coat of blue and have finished the trailer suspension change over for the 15” wheels.
Mopar - D Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 Working on the sides now have the wheel openings and the added section on the bottom in place. Still have to add the stripes on the wheel openings sections to match the existing sides.
slusher Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Dan, you really have this coming together. Really looking great friend!
Mopar - D Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks Carl I’m having fun with this one. Thanks Jeff. I’ve finally got the glass in with 3 attempts on the front windshield and some decals. Edited February 10, 2021 by Mopar - D
Mopar - D Posted February 15, 2021 Author Posted February 15, 2021 Been working on the cab details still have air deflectors, horn and running lights.
slusher Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Beautiful rig Dan! Edited February 15, 2021 by slusher
Bronzekeg Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 looking good you're making great progress on this Dan.
kilrathy10 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Yeah, this baby is coming together... Very nice work, thus far... I'm digging the new lines you put in... Those look pretty awesome... Excellent job.... The trailer looks good, too... Nice work on the wheels....
Mopar - D Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks Carl and Ken Thanks JT have you lost power? I’ve been out since 2AM. I was able to get some more progress on the cab and installed the doors on the trailer. To dark now for pictures.
gotnitro? Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Man all those hoses and wiring really look good Awesome work on the glass , the few resin cabs I've done had really challenged me fitting the glass tightly
Mopar - D Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks Jeff I’ve found that if I sand the inside of the window and make a grove it helps. Flat windshields also help. Not much progress to post so far this week with out power and cold weather.
Bronzekeg Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Dan you're moving right along on a big project. you have done a bunch already. love your choice and build.
Mopar - D Posted February 20, 2021 Author Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks Ken. I’m having fun with this one. Back home now with power back on to. I’ve made the cab air defectors and have them ready for blue paint. I’ve also finished the sides of the trailer and getting ready for the blue paint. Then when my red, green and yellow paint arrives I will paint the stripes on.
doorsovdoon Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Looking great. I do like that cab, very nice.
