Got the truck and trailer all spiffed up and ready to roll for indy I'll see everybody there, really looking forward to meeting everyone

[dabears]

I just "tucked" my trailers and truck in there boxes after waxing and repolishing myself!! See you at Indy!!!

[Snochaser]

Man, load bars and all in that box. Nice touch. See ya there.

[YoungGunz]

Well, I figured it was time to dust off this thread

Anyways, my truck is in pieces and I'm waiting on new frame rails and some other pieces to finish up the truck. I'm just hoping I'll have all the pieces and have it finished before St. Louis

Got some 5mm Bezels from Lynn, and installed a few on my frameless and got them all wired up! Still waiting on the ScaleArt cylinder to get here, hopefully it gets here soon, so I have an idea of what I need to modify on the trailer



Here is a video showing the lights with the blinkers

Jd , mods to the trailer look good man.Don't worry about the cylinder install,it was be straight foward on your trailer.I checked it out @ Indy.Can't wait to run with you guys in STL.

Thanks a ton man, I was able to get a ton of stuff done tonight, I really owe you one!


Ed sent me some frame rails yesterday, since the wait for the PMD rails is taking quite a while.... anyways here is my progress so far



Couldnt resist putting the body on just to see what it looked like





Thanks for looking

YoungGunz, truck is looking real good. The stretch is perfect. Nice job.

[Supermario]

Definitely looks like a " working show truck " . Nice JD. I didn't think I could love this truck more and yet......
So how long are the new rails?

Mario

[dmess62]

Truck looked before, looks even better now

[dabears]

It looks ok...





HAHA J/K looks great with the stretch. Are you going to paint the rails black to match? Yea i ordered rails the week after Indy and Im still waiting......... He must be behind on orders or waiting for more to come in. Hope i can make it to St Louis and see the new stretch

[Tamiya Cowboy]

[heavy_duty]

I got some pictures for ya I'll have some more tonight too I ended up ordering two drive shafts, one will go between the tamiya transmission and the 4:1, then a long one between the 4:1 and axle. I figured it up so the 4:1 will be hidden behind the fuel tanks, so you will only see the long drive shaft. Hopefully that makes sense lol I'll get some pictures of it


Here are some pictures of the deck plate progress....







Made a holder for the hydraulic hose for when its not in use....





Thanks for looking!

[plow jockey]

Well, got some more work done today...... pretty much to the point now where I'm going to have to wait on my drive shafts. When they get here i can install the transmission, then start the joy of wiring..... here are some pictures of todays progress:

This is what i started with today, then i layed down some paint








This is what i have as of right now






I might have also polished my trailer while I was waiting on paint to dry

Before: (not so shiny)


A little bit more shiny




Well thats it for now, Thanks for looking!

[dabears]

Nice job on the paint and the shine on the trailer!!! Looks much better all shiney!

[plow jockey]

Excellent job on buffing out the trailer. Nice paint work.

[petermoblin]

Stretch looks sweet and I also love the new deck plate and pogo stick with the hose hanger. Keep up the great work. Oh yeah, the trailer looks way cool all polished up!

[Stickman]

That deckplate rocks!
