DOT is gona love you

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

In your go pro you can change the settings from wide angle to normal. Just google it. Its taking forever to upload because its full HD video so set the video quality in settings to 480 or 720 with a low ghz. Look for this on google also because I can't explain it well:lol: Have fun with your new camera.:bounce:

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Lol. Hey, that gives me an idea. I guess I need to buy a car and do it up as a DOT cop car and have Susan chase me around the road or put up a road block. Lol.
Another thing on my to do list. I have to install the D rings and load binders I bought for the flat deck .:o:rolleyes:

Thanks Joe. I definitely want to get rid of the wide angle thing but I want to maintain video quality and sharpness. Gonna do a few test videos at lower settings and see how much of a difference it makes and go from there.
It is a cool little camera, all kinds of potential for this thing:):cool:

Thanks Jimmy, I've never seen this before and your absolutely right. That truck is the king of bling for sure! I think it looks great and the painted fenders and sleeper roof are a nice contrast.
Thanks for sharing :cool:

there is one thing I will keep no matter how or what I do with the shop. The original purpose for this is for doing puzzles which ive loved doing for years but now I use as a work surface for detail stuff and wiring.....

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Lookin good Mario! Hey, what's in that brown box at the end of the table beside the drill? Whatever it is, it must be waiting for some upgrades to come in the mail...

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Mario, place is looking good. Congrats!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Your new place looks like you have a lot of room to play and work. I like the puzzle box a lot looks like a great idea for a portable workplace.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Hey everything looks great! I have a verision of that clam-bucket crane and thats what im rebuilding into a yarder haha. I like your work area.:cool:

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

thanks Reg....nothing in the box, its under the cloth waiting to be installed:D

Thanks Keith, I loved the old place but I can see lots of goodness in the new :D

Thanks Ryman, the puzzle box has been a great portable workplace. Built two trucks on it in the kitchen so far!:eek:
I guess you could say I've grown attached to it and will use anywhere I can:o



yeah, the crane sits patiently waiting for upgrades.....:rolleyes:

It was about 2 months ago I was crying the blues about winter coming and not being able to build or play..... funny how quick life can change!
Today, I am very, very pleased to say " LET THE WINTER BUILDING BEGIN!" :D . Life is normal now, enough boxes have been unpacked , shelves put up, furniture moved... Today I began a new build in the new house:bounce:

What I realized as I assembled this so far, the box fits perfect! no file or tweaking required:) Installed in minutes!....not bad considered it was built 2,000 miles away and yet fits my truck like a glove :cool:

All of a sudden....winter don't suck so bad :D

thanks for looking.

Mario.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Fhew! I'm glad it fits:rolleyes:! I guess I better hurry up and get those upgrades in the mail;)!

Can't wait to see what you come up with for the rest Mario! Looking forward to seeing it haul some material come spring...or sooner in your basement!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Very nice box - clean lines and nice mechanicals - great job guys.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks Izzy. Of course all credit goes to Reg on this one:)

Its official!! today was the first time I cut up my first cab! 2 years into the hobby and finally hackin plastic!:eek::rolleyes:
I cut the sleeper off the original cab that Susans truck started as before the black passion makeover.
Im liking the look so far.... going to be a black Kenworth to go with Sues pete.
Next build is Cassidys globe liner which will be silver or grey to go with King of bling. :)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Looks like it's taking shape! What parts do you need now to keep moving forward?

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Was missing spindles, king pins and the front crossmember. Thanks to a forum member, looks like he has what I need so looks like the spare parts truck build is full steam ahead!:)
