Another stretched Globliner
 

Working on a new Stretched Globeliner, it's going to be a FDNY 343 memorial themed truck. It's got a stretched frame, Russ's air ride, Russ's easy stacks, tanks and air filters, painted Seagrave Red. MFU is in most lights are up and running, planning on some gold leaf and lettering to complete.[IMG]http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...3ae8a65be7.jpg[/IMG]

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

Looking good keith..Do the air breathers come off with the back panel? Just ondering how you get the batt out


Alfy

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

Thanks Alfy, yeah the air breathers are attached to the back panel so they come off with it to access the battery and the MFU control.

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

how did you get rid of those hole in the back of the cab? been wanting to know so when I get my truck in I can do that. Really like the color and how you did the lights nice work A+

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

Thanks tbtrucking, I use regular 3m Bondo automotive filler. It won't shrink like some of the green fillers.

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

ok you put that on first and wait for it to dry then sand it right? then also where do you or where be the best spots to put the swtiches?

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

I have been using battle switches for some of the lights but the majority of the switching is from the MFU.

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

Small update, installed a new grille from Russ and got all the lights working.

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

a nice fleet of trucks....

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

Thanks JB

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

What chassis is on your stretched Globe?

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

I was thinking I wanted to build a King Hauler for my first truck. After seeing some of the custom COE trucks it makes me have to think what I want to build first. Very nice looking truck you have.

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

That looks really nice. I like the color too. What frame rails did you use to give it the stretch? King Hauler frame rails? Or did you custom length?

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

nice truck you got there mate where did u get the grill from

Re: Another stretched Globliner
 

Russisloud makes those grills, he has a vendor store here on the board, The boneyard is his site, He makes a lot of accessories and suspension stuff for the trucks, some pretty slick stuff.
