Wayne Buck Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 To be honest, Joe, I'm pretty much into cars and not so much into trucks, but, MAN!!... This thing is incredible! Gotta give credit where it is so obviously due! Your building skills are nothing short of AMAZING! I've been checking on this beast often, ever since you started building it. Thanks so much for sharing! It's awesome to see this thing go together (It's looking so real and mean, I wish I could take it for a spin down the fire trails in the pine barrens by my house! ).
semijoe Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 i start on the fenders and mounts , the basic fender is alum but the out skin is styrene diamond plate man the rear of this look awesome
semijoe Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 Looking good Joe, It's a beast for sure. its like a weed, it just keeps growing

stump Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 man the rear of this look awesome Could not have said it better. But Joe....the whole build looks AWESOME !! Great work man, keep at it.
Inky Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I don't know what I can say that every one else hasn't already said, this is truley remarkable. Your skills and attention to detail just blow me away. I will be following this build for sure. I love the Hemtt, I drove one in the Army with the THAAD missles on the back. It is a fun truck to drive.

eviltwincustoms Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Outstanding work Joe! I almost forgot about this big brute.... now is that steering wheel scratch built or a kit part? I am in just awe of your scratch building skills, that cab looks like a manufactured part. Keep up the great work.

semijoe Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 had to make some changes to the engine compartment. the cage has to be 21mm shorter, the exhaust has to be changed and i went with black for the cage at 1st i want to be an ope engine compart but i seen some pictures of a newer type hemtt. the exhaust has to come out fo the rear of the compartment. so i cut the old one of and added some long pipes to it. later i will make the exhaust stcks. heres a before and after picture
semijoe Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 i was going to do a single exhaust, but i want this to look meaner, so i had some tractor exhaust here, so i cut them in half and made into like a stubby stack.
