cobraman Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Waiting for better weather to do the painting on the Meggaa Hauler I’m working on so I thought I would do some prep on this one . Body is pretty nice but needed a fair amount of clean up . Kit comes with the body , chassis plate , lower engine , rear bumper and front bumper grill . I will be using tires and wheels from a semi tractor . I had to do quite a bit of mods to the chassis plate to fit the tires and still need to do a little more trimming . Kit also comes with window material . No interior details included . I am making a drivers compartment but side windows will be blacked out . Not up to trying to build a complete interior .

Steve H Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi Ray, great looking bus! I love seeing unusual projects like this. Maybe a titanium/charcoal grey colour for the bumpers? Just a thought. The body colour is a great choice. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Getting pretty close to finishing up the bus . Mostly just lights and bumpers left . Cutting windows out of clear sheet was a chore for me . Side windows were ez but front , back and the curved ones up front were a lot tougher .

Looks great the way it is Ray. Around here most bus windows are tinted anymore. So not Lazy just building with the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Really sweet! Awesome job!. Kinda scary though. I'm painting the White cabover I'm working on pretty much the same colors except more white than brown on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 This one is done and pics will be in the under glass section soon if interested . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Ray, looks awesome. I love the big exhaust tip too! I tend to put those on all my builds. Whether it was “lazy” or not I really think the tinted windows are cool. Would have been an enormous amount of work to build the interior. A unique build that turned out great, I will watch for it under glass sir. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
