Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

thanks plow jockey when i do a replica i like to do it as close as possible and i figured why not do a trailer with the mule so i watched the movie ...AGAIN:D:D and picked this trailer which really is the only one besides the sam hummer one in the begining when he first shows up at the red river shipping dock:)

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

Looking good! Like the new flatbed! Will look real good behind that truck!!

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3c674db8.jpghey guys i haven't abandoned the mule .started to scratchbuild the air cleaner for the mule using plastic round tube and a wheel rim from the a 1/25 scale snaptite truck model .it looks alittle rough right now but once its shaped and painted it will look much better also i am installing the roof lights and mfu in it

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...psd1f471f0.jpgbecause there is no room on the chassis to put the mfu unit on that it would not look out of place i decided to install and build it directly in the floor of the truck also to hide it

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

yea i see pictures of the truck this gent is restoring to look like the mule on flickr and btw my name is dwayne..thanks for the compliments the body and paint was done by probuilder and i got the decals made to 1/14 scale by a guy that lives 1 1/2 hrs from me ..they were pretty tricky to put on as especially the mule is quite large in size but i am building the rest of the truck and trailer

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

Yeah Ric did a outstanding job on this cab for sure and them decals a great I have wanted to try that guy that did these and another guy that makes them the same way but I am not good with water slides.. Awesome work all who is involved on this one for sure.

You have done a great job recreating this tractor from the movie. Ed

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

Excellent looking rig

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

Man that looks good! My grandpa had the same truck in the 80s. No blue stripes tho, just plain white.

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

I'm a sucker for 70's and 80's trucks...this one looks the part...my dad had one of these and then later bought the newer version CL9000

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
 

That baby is an icon Dwayne, and recreation of such an iconic character can be a huge challenge. Well my friend you knocked it outta the park, old Carol Jo Hummer him self would be proud....I can't wait to see her all hooked up outside.

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000

Re: blue mule ford wt 9000
