Cabover Kid Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wow, now for the armature question of the day, is that all scratch built? Either way, ur an awesome talent!! Thanks for posting, love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thank you! The only thing that is from a kit is the cab. Everything else is scratch built or highly modified. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelcollector Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Very nice combo! Do you have pics of the framework under the cover? I would like to do the same with the trash bag but not sure of the framework. Did you use aluminum tubing or styrene and bend to shape?

Chaser Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 It is made out of styrene,here's some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes sir. Been a slow one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Cant wait to see it. Im guessin its gonna be stellar. Im tryin to think of what 1:1 show truck you could be replicating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 thats why its been slow, havent found one I really like. it seems when i fine one, i find another than another. It might just end up being about three put into one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thats my problem, why i havent built any of the 379s and 389s i have waiting. Cant decide whos truck i want i to build. I at least built Trevor Hardwicks cabover, the redone version. I may try 1 of James Davis' trucks, really like how low they sit. But then i go to a truck show or the new issue of 10-4 comes out and changes my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Nice job. I'm not sure how you could get the arch, maybe a little heat might work, but this one is a little too far along to try that! It might be something to experiment with on a later project though. If you are going with the "heavy load" story, I'd drop that front axle down or DOT will be on you like bears (Pun intended) to honey!!
