Scott Eriksen Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 (edited) More progress........got the exhaust on ,,went with a short stack and a raincap ,, I guess I always liked that annoying rattle from them,,,lol .Got the drivers side fuel tank on with the steps and ran the fuel lines to the engine ,engine end still has to be terminated,,I also have to run heater hoses yet,,so I pulled the hood pins and took it off. Also put the cab grabs on ,you cant see the pass side its behind the muffler.The drivers side tank has the combo fuel/DEF . I also ran 1/16th spacer strips on the wrecker body to raise it up a scooch ,,,,looks better I think.Had to shorten the pass side tank,,,that's been painted with Alclad aluminum and is in the dehydrator.Depending if I have to work tomorrow I'll get that nailed in and finish the fuel lines and heater hoses.I also have hood fender extensions that have to be worked in order to get them to fit Edited January 26 by Scott Eriksen 2
Scott Eriksen Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 I was going to use the KFS winch I have for the front mount but ,, I ordered these 2 from 3D Concepts a Tulsa and a Braden ,,I'll see what works/looks best when I get 'em
BK9300 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Driver's side tank looks great, Scott - hope you get the front winch mounted so your hood opens, to show all your detail work! 1
Scott Eriksen Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 No work today.....got the pass side tank on,heater hoses and wiper arms-blades . Finessing the hood fender extensions with some putty right now,,,once thats done I'll paint them rubber black and attach to the hood...get the hood back on then we go and tackle wrecker body assembly 1

Scott Eriksen Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 .................no work today,,,so I took a nap ,,and watched The Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen,,,,for the umpteenth time,,,never gets old .....did some bench time too,,,,, fitted the fender extensions,need a little massage with the sanding stick yet as they justtttt rub the fuel tanks a bit,,no biggie .Installed the winches and cable...installed the boom/winch/outrigger controls,,,BMF on the compartment handles and scuff plates....fabbed up a light bar pylon with brass and Plastruct diamond plate-that will get hit with Revell chrome and attached to Plastruct diamond plate and that will go on top of the compartments ........see what tomorrow brings 1
BK9300 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Good job on the pylon - all chromed up, with the light bar, will look awesome! 1

Thanks Brian,, I have a Whelen Edge bar in amber coming,,,I was going to use the red and blue one ,but I double checked my pics and the actual one is all amber ,probably put some marker lights on the diamond plate also .The winch(s) for the front are 2 weeks out ,,so I may have this done except for that .I guess a could make up a push bumper though
BK9300 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 It's a good looking truck - will be a great add to your completed builds! 1
Jürgen M. Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Looks awesome! Great build becoming greater everyday! 👍 1

Scott Eriksen Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 Think I might put a piece of diamond plate in the chain box
BK9300 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Everything's coming together, Scott - just a great looking truck! I think the diamond plate in the chain box will add a bit of break in the red deck area and fit right in. 1
Scott Eriksen Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 ..............any resemblance to the actual vehicle is purely coincidental ,,,lol Brian,,notice the "snow plow hood" access doors 1
Scott Eriksen Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 I might add diamond plate to the back,,,and the FDNY logos,,,paint the lift bar yellow
