stewart Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This as a project I have been working on for over the last couple of weeks. Lots of bodywork. I extended the hood about a 1/2 inch and extended the roof line. The bed is to AMT dually beds put together. I widened the fenders by cutting them off and extending them with a strip of styrene. Here is the end look I am going for with a little bit of this mixed in I plan on using a big-rig diesel with exhaust stacks and a semi truck suspension. I am just letting this one "design itself" as I go along. STewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I opened up the rear wheel wells a little more. I have to wait to do too much more though until my wheels and tires get here. This is the suspension I will be using. It is a resin setup from a Volvo full-size rig. STewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 I started work on the suspension setup. I decided I didn't really like the setup of the one I had and I was going to have to modify it anyway so I decided to use some of the parts and make a setup similar to this Hendrickson setup. I had to extend the axles in order to get the wheels out under the fenders. I am planning on doing a rather detailed setup with all the nuts and bolts. Here is a picture with the slightly enlarged wheel arches. I basically lengthened the arches. STewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
