My DM800 project Update 6-26-11 gettin' there!

[69A-CAR]

Hello all,

Here are a few pictures of my DM800 project. This was a partial model I bought off ebay 12+ years ago. There is still a lot to do, the frame has been stretched 75 scale inches, the rear suspension is a RNK 80000# Hardbar set, the wheels are heavy 8 spoke with 14 - 24 rubber from RNK too (I opened a box from him dated 1-2000 !). I have added a lift axle from Eric, and need to decide on the wheel/ tire combo for that, then I can get the frame in primer. The body is pretty much finished at this point. I will try to post a bit better moch up picture soon.

Thanks, Mark

I like the color.

You have done great job on the headache rack and the front bumper.

Well I finally got the lift axle done and fixed the steering on the front axle, I had to pin it together with small brass rods.

Looks like more resin than plastic!

I like the look so far.

Here is a decent shot of the cab and hood, they are pretty mch done.

I have a couple details to sort out and then I will get the chassis in primer. The only major thing left that I don't have planned are the BIG rear fenders.

Thanks for looking,

Mark

Well I had a few hours this weekend, so the chassis finally got painted and assembled. I also moched up a couple pics with the cab too, I think it is looking nice. I still am not sure what I am doing for rear fenders. Tha cab should be on for good tonight.

Thanks for looking,

Mark
