I like the way this truck is turning out.Its a tough looking truck for sure.Where did you get those hood handles?Great job, cant wait for more updates!!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Thanks PJ... HAndles came from here http://www.ozarkminiatures.com/scrip...?idproduct=552
And a great price

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Lou, that looks really nice! The fenders and grille sure give the old King Hauler a brand new look, and I like it. The grab handles on the hood are an awesome detail touch. Did you make those yourself? I could use a few of those myself, for a project. Keep it going. Looking forward to the finish!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Looks like a great start!!! thanks for that link on the handles i know a few of us have been looking for some!!!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P

Another big DOG:D:D:D Start Lou! I like it.

Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Lou, you must have worked an all nighter, to get that far. Now remember don't get too many projects going at once or you'll end up like me, nothing done. A real nice start on a great truck. It will look real mean, pulling that trammel.

Thank you all very much for your comments everyone and thanks for looking :eek:
My body work could still use a bit of practice and this time of year it difficult to get a good paint job done unless you a have good work shop..that I dont have yet ..The rattle cans can be pretty picky but i did ok ..A aluminum base coat and electric blue top coat

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

love the square fenders and the off road tires, they go well together.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Thanks Paul ,Steve,Arron ,Rob ,Jason,and Reg...Hope I didnt forget anyone..Anyway been hard at er and cant stop now ..I tried my hand at bending the 1/4 K&S tubing ..my bender works ok ..I first tried the stainless tube the tamiya has on the stacks but ended up just buckling..so the heaver walled k&S was my solution ..I did take my dremmel and a small stone and thinned out the tips ..maybe some black paint will give it the used look as welll ..Fabbed up some tanks as well ..slightly polished but still a used look as well..
Thanks for lookin :eek:

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Have you considered filling the pipe up with soft solder, bend it, and melt it back out?
Nice progress!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Lou, you sure were right about those decals. They look awesome on the mudflaps. Great work, now you have to make some for Greg and I!!!!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Very nice!
I'd like to build a Pacific or Hayes at some point. That's many years away though.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

This truck looks great, I was wondering where yoi got the metal from to make the fuel tank step? Did you cut the pattern in it or does it come like that?

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Lou, outstanding work! You have giving me insaration for my next build, I have a tri-axle chassis waiting for cab and drive train. I think I may go with a Pacific as well, I got into looking them up and they are some workhorse looking rigs! I Love it! I was going to go with a lat 40's early 50's KW, But I think a Pacific will look better pulling my B-Train Log Bunks I got from RoadRanger. Keep up the good work, Your a true craftsmen!

NWTT:cool:

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Thanks Im think of doing a hayes as well ..a big HDX :D

Thanks Had that metal for a while now ..I think i bought it thruogh home hareware or canadian tire ..its called expanded metal

Thanks Rob ..Whats First on the list ..guess we should make some up for that big dump truck

Thanks NWTT..I picked a truck with flat fenders lol..this makes body work fairly simple..There are quite a few photos on Hanks truck pictures and http://www.pacifictruckclub.org/Phot...47%20to%201950
That is a nice B train ..would look great behind mine too ..lol..I do plan to haul some logs with mine as well and still want the fifth wheel for my flat deck and trummel

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

outstanding!! just a pure a$$ kicker of a truck. looks scary tough. i also like those decals on the front flaps nice touch. great work on the cab also

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Looks mean. Can't wait for the bumper its going to be NasTY :D

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Thanks Amazing how things come together when you add the little details

Very Nice

Thanks for sharing

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Woah great work! (Nice trailer in the background)

Question: Do those tires fit on stock size kh rims? The fronts look great.

Looks good:cool:

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
 

Just getting better and better, like those details, they add up to an outstanding model. Like your photografhy to, very sharp pic on a real truck, sorry model truck!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
