Re: Nick's 379 build
Hey great how-to Troy, thanks for that!

Re: Nick's 379 build
Those hub covers look really nice. I assume you removed the anodize and polished the wheels? How would those wheels look if you would have used the hub covers they came with?

http://www.rcmier.com/ENG/ProductView.aspx?id=160 It's just a cap that screws on the end of the hub cover, if you look at my pictures you can see the rims, all I haven't fitted is the end caps. |
Re: Nick's 379 build
The caps look very nice Nick but I don't think I could go from aluminum parts back to plastic. I'm trying to use aluminum parts on my build when I can.

Re: Nick's 379 build
The Meir hub covers are fine,I just liked the more realistic domed end insted
of the flat end w/star pattern. |
Re: Nick's 379 build
I have a couple sets of those caps that I'm not using, If your interested I'll sell or swap.

I think the verkerk plastic caps look good, even if they are plastic, but it's all a matter of opinion of course. |
Re: Nick's 379 build
Sorry to Nick and Troy, my mistake. You both have very nice trucks.

Re: Nick's 379 build
Thanks Nick, kind of in the holding pattern right now, need to work a couple doubles or something to get some more hobby money for more aluminum parts. Those plastic cross-members have to go.

Re: Nick's 379 build
That is going to be a good looking truck when you get done with it, can't wait to see more pics of the truck!

Re: Nick's 379 build

Re: Nick's 379 build
Well it's about time for an update. Long overdue, I know.
It's not gonna look like much but I have spent hours making the fenders and inner fenders. I had to start again as I wrecked my first set of fenders. Time to put it down and walk away for a bit... So here's where I'm at now: Truck is provisionally sitting on my trailer tyres until I get the rims steve's making for me to fit wedico tyres. http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMAG0288.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMAG0279.jpg Need to bend and glue the last bit of trim there, and also trim back the lower cowl to be level with the bottom of the fender http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMAG0281.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMAG0280.jpg Finally I need to make that notched part of the lower cowl there to fill the gap with the inner fender http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMAG0283.jpg The sleeper is almost ready for detailing, then I need to put all the rivets on and see about the headlights. Still a long way to go... |
Re: Nick's 379 build
