Tesla Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Finally reached the finish line with this project. It’s my first attempt with a scratch build. The only problem I encountered was the mounting pins for the stationary end of the ramp cylinders. I snapped both of them off yesterday. No room to drill out the broken pins. Lesson learned?…next time use brass or aluminum rod! Thanks for looking Now for the next project… Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Edited June 29, 2017 by Tesla

Superpeterbilt Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Well either you were already planning on pulling it with the tri-axle, or you did that for me! Im speechless man! This is the nicest scratcbuilt lowboy Ive seen. Maybe because its a slightly different style than the norm. It looks great
