frame building
 

okay was wondering where you guys buy your custom frames or what you use? since i am looking into building my first truck.....also do you guys normally soldier or weld the joints?

Re: frame building
 

i bought a milling machine so i now cut my own frames
saves me a fortune
i'll buy the odd parts when i feel lazy
you can mix/match different parts on the tamiyas
a globe for example,put a knight frame under it and its a nice stretch

Re: frame building
 

i am probably going to use some knight body or one of the older looking semis, also that is far from out of my budget since it's a winter hobby basically. along with a small time summer hobby.

like derailed said i did use the king hauler frame rails for the globeliner.i like that look much better you can probably check your lhs and order a set of frame rails which is what i did ,price was reasonable:)

which i could do that, but still looking for a bit longer. also looking into rather using the king hauler body, not so interested in the globe.

Re: frame building
 

just to give a very general idea of what i'd want out of a cab over would be.i'd rather have the traditional long nose truck especially, since it's what i have grown up around and growing up around my uncles and gpa all hating cab overs...http://images5.fanpop.com/image/phot...27-800-535.jpg
