Jürgen M. Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Some more wiring and plumbing done! Think it's enough for this truck. Now the inside door panels are next. Still thinking about the best solution! After that I guess I'll call it finished! 3
Rockford Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Jürgen, what a fantastic job you're doing. Not easy doing everything for the first time. on the door panels, could you cut them down to just the door card and fill them to suit? Shame to waste them. Your plumbing looks great. 1
Jürgen M. Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 (edited) Steve, you'll be happy to hear that the new doors panels actually fit very well and will be installed today. I'm happy about it too! 😊 Pics will follow! I will also complete the mirror brackets and try to get the tiny door handles out of the support structure without breaking them.

Jürgen M. Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Just noticed that the wipers are still missing! Haven't even designed them yet! 🙈 I was so busy with the doors that I forgot other things! So it's back to the (virtual) drawing board! 1
Jürgen M. Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 (edited) I made the wipers and the hand rails, completed the mirror brackets, added the door handles and put the air lines in place! Kinda! I know, the air intake is too high and the fifth wheel still seems to be a bit too large but that's the way it is. The air intake could be corrected. Not such a problem. I'm also thinking about the tail light wiring. Im afraid though I don't have anymore hoses. I'll think about it! Edited February 14 by Jürgen M. 1
Jürgen M. Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 I corrected the hight of the air intake and added mud flaps. The passenger door stays closed from now on. Two hinges broke off and had to be glued back on which makes them stiff. Since the driver's door works and fits perfectly I don't really mind! Now it's just the question wether to do the wiring of the tail lights or not! I might do that some other time! For now I'd call it finished! Thanks everyone for watching and your great comments and compliments! I'll be posting this "Under Glass" shortly! 2
Biggu Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Excellent job JM ! The 5th wheel mounting plate assembly really caught my eye. That along with the rest of the build turned out really good. Your design skills are tremendous. Love this one.
Jürgen M. Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 (edited) Thank you Jeff! Nice of you to say that! Im quite satisfied myself! The mounting plate assembly on this truck is interesting and quite different from others! It slides on the model too by the way! 😊 Edited February 19 by Jürgen M. 1
