Default Re: Mack cab question

Hello

The Cab and hoods I buy on shape ways are from the maker CAA52. what version of a DM mack are you building? they had fiberglass hoods like a U model mack and a option for the steel butterfly hood? Regardless what hood you want I dont think anyone makes that style hood. The closest would be the R600 fiberglass hood but that hood is about a scale foot to long and the sides wont match up to the cab if you simply just cut off the back of the hood to bring it within the correct length.
I think the steel hood would be much more easy to scratch build as its basically all square parts.

I have both the R700 and the standard R600 hoods. The 700 cab/hood is closer to the BBC length of the stock KH cab/hood. that being said I had to move the front axle forward to get it to fit under the fenders correctly.

would you like actual measurements from both my 600 and 700 so you know how far back the cab sits on both?

Trent
