tbill Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 fantastic work as usual, just terrific! I must say, I don't think that floor jack is up to task for lifting the front of that truck

mackd Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 I have completed the body of the RM.I am satisfied on the whole. I was forced out of dimensions on photos by finding the scale of these pictures.
Superpeterbilt Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 That is the toughest looking Mack I have ever seen. Great job.
mackd Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 I decided to make the wings of more realistic Hood.First it was made with of styren 0.030 a scale its represents 3/4 of an inch thick.Not very realistic.My new wings are manufactured in aluminium of 0.011 represents 1/4 of an inch, very close to reality.
mackd Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Here is the finished Hood.I encountered several difficulties has make the Hood hinges and finally I found a method very simple.For the brackets of the Hood fasteners it is much more difficult, because the parts are very small.The rivet head is 0 "015 = 3 / 8 of an inch."I broke three drill to drill the rivets.Aluminum I use is a little too hard.
gatorincebu Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Alain, Once again you have raised the bar. The hoodand hinges are fantastic! A tip for you. When you want to work with aluminum. before drilling anneal it. That means heat it up with a small torch. This will soften the metal and make it easier to work with. You might want to experiment with a couple of pieces though. Be Well Gator

mackd Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 I had not planned to do a new transfercase.I predicted use one I had before either an auxiliary transmission converted transfercase.After thinking his was doing one can pin a hay as realistic.So I decided do some research on the transfercase mounted on the Macks.The result.
gatorincebu Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Alain, Nice job on adding the transfer case. It looks real good. Be Well Gator
