Hope you like it.

This is where it all started; a metal brake, electric shears, and a dremel.....

This was the first year at Indy, I brought the Michigan Gravel Train, the Truck Stop and a Pole Barn. The show was alot different than I can imagine it is now.

I'm a little rusty on how to attach pics.

My father inlaw's truck was the inspiration for my next build with some help from Heavy Duty.....

nice models! one comment all the digger to forklift ties use the same mounting as the bucket, for less damage while off loading trucks.

These forks are mainly used on construction sites to move around pipe and large objects.

I remember first seeing your Michigan gravel train on Ric's site. I thought it was pretty coo then. Later I came across photos of your other trailers, including the lowboy. That is one awesome trailer. I always kind of wanted one after that. Your dump trailer are equally impressive. Thanks for sharing the photos.

You guys got me started again.. New wheels and fenders, I have to decide on a sound system though.

Re: My Builds
 
Love that cabover Pete. Is that to resemble a 362? if so it looks great

. I started too build a 352 last summer, got the body work mostly done but need to get the Grill and Headlights before I go further. They were some of the sharpest looking cab overs in my opinion. just pure classic style...

Re: My Builds
 
I think SmallHall has inspired me to try a conversion. Has anyone tried one of these before?

It was made to resemble my father in laws old truck. It's funny to see it still working 10 years after he sold it. I have a pic of it earlier in the thread.

Espeefan 04-04-2014 01:32 AM

Re: My Builds
 
That is a cool self-propelled loader. If that's what it is anyway. I've never seen one of those before, but I am sure that is a toy that existed much earlier in time than I did!

Roadmasters 04-04-2014 06:08 AM

Re: My Builds
 
I think Paul (tamiya cowboy) did one of those a few years back

rcguyfarms 04-04-2014 06:13 AM

Re: My Builds
 
Yes I did but just made the buckets operate and not the tracks
