Wow, Rob, that is one fine truck! The paint is really nice. You must have been collecting parts for a while! Can't wait to see this one all done.

Thanks all for the compliments.....I have been collecting parts for a minute. The paint scheme and stacks were done by Jon.
I still waiting for a few more parts, but this is the final assembly. My Timpte is almost done as well. Kinda building both, the wagon and the truck at the same time. I will start installing the electronics maybe tonight or tomorrow.

It's a beautiful truck, Rob. I like the seminole paint. Nice choice on the color combo. The trailer looks great too. Are the little orange rectangles, on the trailer, lights? Do they work?

Looks super sharp Rob ! I think trailer needs aluminum wheels too the white is messing the theme up

Re: Project: Grain Hauler
 
Thanks again everyone for the compliments......Chris, u are right about the wheels, they are gonna get polished Alum......Steve, are ya reading ?:D

That was the idea behind this project....i wanted a working show truck. The hardest part was picking the color scheme. I had seen about 20 on the highway and at the trucks stop that were just killer looking, so i just picked this one oneday that was pulling a Timpte with the front tandems raised, crdeit goes to SnP on the paint job, all i had was an idea.:)

diesel950 01-26-2013 06:26 PM

Re: Project: Grain Hauler
 
very sharp, maybe continue stripes onto trailer when you get shiny wheels for it

Robbert when you sent me these picks earlier this week it looked amazing but now that I see them even larger it is just outstanding looking and such a clean looking job with all the details you really nailed this hopper hauler..

Wow 10/10 build! Does the front axle need to go forward a bit though?

U're right about the front axles, when i put it all back together after paint, i realized i forgot to put them forward when i strarted working on the hood alignment.
