Dingo Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 There has been a lot of flack about this hotrod mack so I have decided to rebuild it back to what it should be and the photos below will show you the transformation form hotrod rig to old time tipper. From this: To this: Including motor replacement from V8 to original Mack motor. Dingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davkin Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I personally like the change but I didn't criticize you for the hot rod version. It's just a model and it's your model, so do with it whatever you want, if some people don't like it that's okay, it's far more important that you like it, afterall you do build for yourself, right?

Dingo Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks guys but as it turns out I in the end didn't really like it either so apart from others not liking it I'm the person who has the final say and as I'm not really into it as I thought I was, I'd rather have this old girl anyway. Besides I'm thinking of building not as the tipper shown but as a replica of my dad's truck he had a flattop that carted rolls of paper for the local newspaper back in the 50's & early 60's the only difference will be mine will have a closed in front (windscreen) where my fathers cab was an open cab.
