Ole's Take at a Ford F-800 "Big Job"
 

Started on this some months ago.

Midnight Pumpkin body that has been under the axe;)

Widened the wheelarches to make room for big rig wheels. Also made the rear part of the fenders, and the portion under the grill longer.

Monday I received the RC4WD Budd wheels, and new rubbers.

Turned down the bearinghold on the frontwheels, and milled a hex.

While I was at it, I made new "nuts" for the frontwheels.

Mock up. The cab will sit higher when all is mounted.
