Chris guthro Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Hey guys, just started a new project, got mostly everything done on the frame, paint is duplicolor ford toreador red, ill be going with a sand color body with the red roof top and fenders. Going to keep my trucks from now on in these colours
Bennyg Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I see you cleaned the roof line up nicely. Ben
kilrathy10 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Looking good, Man.....Before you paint it, might I suggest that you trim the lip on the front of the cab where the hood makes contact down about an 1/8 of an inch so the hood will sit level.....One of the mods that I intend to mention on my Lonestar recovery vehicle.....I totally forgot to mention this, as I was in a bit of a hurry and forgot.....You'll notice that the hood has an unsightly space between it and the cab.....Otherwise, this should be a great build for you....Gonna look GOOD!!!!
Chris guthro Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Yea I was thinking about trying to mod the cab for the hood to sit level! Thanks man!! These kits are great, I have one I built and took apart, wanting to do a daycab conversion from Dave on it.
Jim B Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Looking good. Don't forget to cut the tabs off of the bottom of the cab/sleeper.
Old Buckaroo Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) That Ford red is a nice color Edited January 23, 2014 by Old Buckaroo
Chris guthro Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Yea I got they as cut off now haha, got it painted and the two tone went perfect!! Was really surprised!
Bennyg Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Very sharp! Those colours go together well. Ben
Chris guthro Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Got some more done to the ol international. Still waiting to decide tho whether to build it with a maxforce or order a isx from auslowes for it! If international sold glider kits I'd stuff a twin turbo cat in it!! Not done yet but for most part all just mocked up
Chris guthro Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Here's my lonestar with a cummins lookalike, deleted the egr and everything emissions off of it
Kostas Parchas Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I like it a lot and I like what you have done to the headache rack. Kostas.
