Re: Structo dumptruck conversion

I really wasn't sure about trying to mount anything low on a Belly Dump trailer. Unless you're working over a dump bridge grate, they usually do rough offroad work. If a Dozer or Grader guy isn't...

Re: Structo dumptruck conversion

Ok cool, i didn't figure there was much dump gate control you could do with bomb bay doors. I know with the shutter type doors like on tonka belly dumps, you could open them more linear.

Re: Structo dumptruck conversion

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

This project is nuts, it just keeps getting more awesome!

Re: Harley Davidson motorcycle with Sidecar

Surface mount LEDs on magnet wire let you stick lights in a TON more places than make sence. This had a solid chrome headlight so the pinpoint of light is not nearly as cool looking as a bucket lens...

Re: Wedico Peterbilt Day Cab

It looks pretty good, but I might see if it looks like you could adjust the size with a file and caliper before sending for a reprint.

Plus sometimes we have to make compromises for durability...

Re: Harley Davidson motorcycle with Sidecar

Thanks skeeter. I think in this set they had like 6 bikes, and 2 or 3 different sidecars that can be screwed to the bottom of other bikes.
