MikeMc Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Looks like I built more trucks than cars last year!!! It all started with a leftover '55 panel that my son didn't want....here I am now!!
fordh8r Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Nice stuff! You have enough trucks to make your own "show and shine" diorama.
george 53 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Hey Mike, just look at it like this, you can do alot with leftovers! Nice builds Daddy-O! Maybe you could show us a few more shots of 'em? (See watcha gone an started?)
Raul_Perez Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Hey Mike, Build one more, paint it the color of your '34, put a hitch on it, add a trailer and you'll have a show rig like mine! So, what's on the build list for '09? Later,

RodneyBad Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Year of the Trucks. Did you do that all Subconsciously? They all Look Great. Love the Orange Silverado

Love the Orange Silverado Thanks....I actually had no idea I built so many trucks...until I dusted the display case QUOTE(Raul_Perez @ Feb 20 2009, 12:30 PM) Hey Mike, Build one more, paint it the color of your '34, put a hitch on it, add a trailer and you'll have a show rig like mine!

Raul_Perez Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Mike, I made my rig from the Model King reissue of the '53 Ford hauler and truck. I use a bit of sheet styrene and some triangluar stock to make the new enclosure on the trailer. The first thing I did was to take a picture of the trailer, bring it into PowerPoint to get a rough idea of what I wanted it to look like. Using the picture as a template, I cut the sides, added 1/4" triangular stock to the inside edges to support the top piece, then rounded over the edges. This picture shows the triangular stock inside the hood of the trailer that joins the sides to the top and held everything together when I rounded the edges. This shot shows how the edges were rounded over. I think that your '34 pickup is a prime candidate for this kind of rig!! Send me an email if you need more info.

horsepoweraddict Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 nice set of trucks you have there. I love building trucks there is so much you can do with them mainly because they have a full frame seperate from the floorboard. I prefer building the trucks over cars.
