mackinac359 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 This will be great! What are you using for the rivets? They appear to be metal. Tim
SpreadAxle Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Are those brass rivets? Also, I would love to know what you did to make the single headlight buckets, they look very realistic. I am working on a Freightliner cabover myself, and would like to go with single headlights. This is going to be nice truck from what I see that you've done so far. Good work.
Twist67 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Hi there, Uwe, that will be getting a beauty again.nice work on the rivets and the detailing. @Tim and FlatbedKW.I ordered the rivet for Uwe and me on an Us site called scale hardware.Here is the link to their site: http://www.scalehardware.com Cheers,Chris

oldstyle Posted August 18, 2007 Author Posted August 18, 2007 hi Chris thanks for adding the LINK and for Ordering the RIVETS...i,m glad to have You for All the order of extra Parts Regards Uwe
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 What's goin' on... Ray To me it looks like he used round stock styrene.
chuckyr Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Did you custom make the grill. You can see right thru it. Is it metal?
oldstyle Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 sorry guy,s here the answers Scott...you have right...it,s Round stock Styrene for the headlight Housing Chuckyr...the Grill is... NO METAL...it,s the KiT Part the Camera let it looks so Real regards Uwe
SpreadAxle Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 What's goin' on... Ray To me it looks like he used round stock styrene. I thought that's what is was. Just wanted to be sure. I didn't know if it was a custom part that he bought, or round tube that was shaped. Thanks Scott, and Uwe.
chuckyr Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) What ever happened to this project. Oldstyle stopped posting Edited February 17, 2008 by chuckyr
Old Albion Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Wow!! Is it really August 2007 when Uwe started this one?? How time has flown. It would be good to have an update. Looked like a great project and having seen some of his other works I'm sure many folks out there were looking forward to seeing the progress photo's. Best Wishes Dave Bates
oldstyle Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 Hello all i know it was a long Time to start this projekt but now i,m working again on it The COE now wears the Colors of GARRETT Here are any Pic,s Thank You for Looking Greets Uwe
Old Albion Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Uwe, This looks great so far. I like the single headlights on the Freightshaker and that Garrett paint scheme is very different from the CF one we often see. Are the decals your own design or are they bought from someone else? Good to see you making some progress on this truck. Its been a long time coming and I will certainly look out for further updates. Good luck with the rest of the build! Dave Bates
oldstyle Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Hi again Dave...The Decals for the Frightshaker were made from my Friend TWIST 67. He got a nice Printer at home. regards Uwe
Twist67 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Dave, I made those decals with corel draw and printed them out on my Alps printer as Uwe said.I bought it from ebay some years ago.... For my Willig Freightlines Ford I also made the decals. Regards,Chris
