Biggu Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Wow .. what a grand entrance! That is a a stunner, what a beautiful job. The Cat is a dandy. And love where the tractor is going….. this will be great to watch the final results. Hope you post lots of updates, and welcome to the forum. 1
yh70 Posted February 23 Posted February 23 welcome to the forum Mike.. you sure got it got it going your way..i like the black you added to the Cat, trailer & truck so im gonna guess the truck cab will be Cat color.. will be a beautiful build when finished.. 1
BK9300 Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Great start to the forum, Mike! I like the aggressive tread on your truck's tires - where did you pick them up? 1
Rockford Posted February 23 Posted February 23 First post? Good to have someone with your abilities on board, looks great. 1

cifenet Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Awesome stuff! And what a great start, Mike! I also like how you have so many clips in multiple colors. They look actually quite cool on the work desk. 1
MIkeOB Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Got a little more work done. Cab and interior are done. When I mounted the front fenders they did not look right with the float tires so I am widening them. 3
cifenet Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Just love it! Looking very awesome right now, and the truck build isn’t finish yet! 1 1
MIkeOB Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 Got a little bit more work done. Changed up the front fenders. Added the winch. Working on a headache rack. 2
BK9300 Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Nice to see an update on this - looking good, Mike. The fender change suits the truck! 1

JerseeJerry55 Posted Wednesday at 12:32 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:32 AM Following this build looks great so far. One question in regard to the mirrors how did you get them to fit so great?

One question in regard to the mirrors how did you get them to fit so great? I locate and mark the mirror brace locations on the cab then I drill holes in the cab same size as the plastic rod and add small pieces of rod to the mating surface of the top and bottom mirror braces. Once the glue is set I trim the rod off flush on the cab interior. Hope this helps. 1
