Man this is one impressive dirt hauler, i can't wait to see it finished and perhaps a video of it working. Great work!!!!!

Re: Mack LRVSW
 

I may draw them up soon and try to do the double lug nut / spoke . what size lug nut are you using ?

Re: Mack LRVSW
 

I used M2. A bit too big, but I had them in stock....

I made the drawings of double lug nut design too. If you are interested, PM me, so I can send what I have to you....

Working slow, but still in progress.

I abandonned the styrene cab and finally decided for a brass one :

Brass!! Looks way better. Now possibly redo the bed channels in thin brass sheet.

Re: Mack LRVSW
 

Looks fantastic! Great to see the overview of the beast!

The bed frame/channels from aluminium look good to me in proportion.
So, my honest question: What would be gained by doing them in brass?
I assume painting a mixed material bed might be slightly more problematic, but not too much of an issue?

It could all be soldered together .

looks great Papy :eek:

Re: Mack LRVSW
 

Nice job on the wheels.

Great looking truck!

Re: Mack LRVSW
 

Did you ever finish this awesome truck?

Re: Mack LRVSW
 

A lot of things happened.....and the Mack is not finished, as many of the projects started before 2010 :(

But it is still there on a shelf, and will probably be completed, one day :rolleyes:
