One of my favorite cabovers, if not my favorite. Great subject matter, and a great build.

 

Thank you sir. One of my favorites as well.

Wow!! Brian you’re really knocking this thing out!! It looks great!! I like it! The two hole rims are an excellent choice!

 I don’t know if you have made a decision on the tanks yet, but sometimes I use PVC pipe and either paint it or I have wrapped it in thin aluminum glued on with two part epoxy.

Thanks Brian! I have thought about making my own tanks. What size PVC works and looks the best?

This Ford  looks good ! Swapping out kit rubber really makes a difference,  awesome choice on the wheels too. 

Thank you my friend. I think I may still have my old blanket somewhere!

She's coming together nicely, the cab looks awesome and I really like those wheels.

Thank you. Not too many crazy modifications to the chassis, which is awesome for me!

Nice build, I always like the cl, but i was afraid of heights! There was one here in town years ago that was purchased from the bud moore nascar team, red,white and polished aluminum everywhere! Guy kept it about 3 months and went back to a long nose pete.

Different sizes for different builds. I usually have some scrap but sometimes have to pick up some small pieces at the hardware and see what looks best. With this one being 1/24 you may want a little bigger tank. The pipe is measured in inside diameter. I think that I’ve used 1/2 and 3/4 before, but don’t hold me to that.

[Dutzie]

Understood. Thanks for the info.

Brian's right on about pvc tanks ,.swing by hardware store and ask if they have any scraps left around usually they give em away less than say 6 inch pieces 

Try both sizes he suggested and see what visually looks best

I think I would loose what little of my mind I have left trying to glue those lug nuts on. ?

Thanks Larry. I bet that was a sharp looking truck!

Just a few more updates. Down to the final stages of the build. I have the silencers and heat shields built and painted. Should get these attached today along with the rest of the little bits. Ordered aluminum fuel tanks but also printed my own  65 mm tanks. The tanks are in paint now. I will see what the look like before I make up my mind. Still have some touch up paint to do on the grill too.

SPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I wish I could find a copy of the KFS Holmes wrecker body, These KFS trans kits are awesome, well done !!!

[Dutzie]

Final update before tanks are added. Now to move it out of the way so I don’t mess it up!
