Old NASCAR type hauler, WIP

[Hondo]

I usually don't do much WIP type posts, but we'll see how this goes.

(Hopefully, not years... HA !)

Here's what I'm aiming for, this type, not necessarily this one.

(I'm not a truck builder per se, so any tips will be great)

Here's what I have so far:

I'm adding the sleeper "option" to it also. Couldn't find one so I made one.

Got some of the chassis together and the engine.

Will have to stretch the chassis to lengthen the wheelbase for it.

It's cold plus I work a lot, so hopefully I can plug along on this one as I get time.

WHOA!!!!! Where did you guys get that resin hauler body???????? I need two of them! One for my Snake hauler and one for the Mongoose.

The bunk looks good. Don't forget the "character line" that was molded in.

Character line?

[Hondo]

Thanks for the comments !

Tim, I have some good reference pics of the sleeper. The jury is out on whether

to attempt the "character line" or not. I'll be doing good to make the vents......

We'll see. My sleeper is about 18 pieces of Evergreen glued together then shaped with my Dremel and 60 grit sandpaper so far.

DZ, It's a resin hauler body that I bought about 3-4 years back, untouched so far.

It's similar but different to the old AMT ones.

There's several changes.
