And so it's going on and on.

Hey Dolly, Almost Done!

I'm guessing this will hang in Vermont.

Those are great.

I'm really digging that new dump with flatbed setup.

[Bo Wallen]

Thanks, Frizzen. Having a blast in da shop. And now back to this little guy. Generator unit for the Trommel/Conveyor.

Also, I need five new bumpers with bullbars. Let's bend it.

That's a really nice and unique dump truck

[Bo Wallen]

Thank You Much, Emil. I'm delighted with this truck, fun to build, and very fun to drive. Some functions still need to be finished, and over to the paint shop.

To be continued.

[Bo Wallen]

Few hours in the shop. The Gravel & Dirt Section is getting some stuff done.

New Fenders just came in From Chris.

[IMG]IMG_6091 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

I can move the job forward on the 5 Kings.

[NRS91]

Nice where do you get those square top KW wings from?

[Bo Wallen]

Thank You, NRS91. I sent my design to Chris Maurer, NY, and he made them for me. I think he can make more of them.

[Bo Wallen]

After 15 minutes of prepping and wet sanding, the final coat of primer is on. Not bad at all.

[IMG]IMG_6097 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Now only nine more to go.

[Bo Wallen]

Remember this old Truck? Freddy's (FGD) Logging Build. Well, the time has come for an update.

[IMG]25797097996_f52b64da9d_o by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

New shoes and rims, gearshift servo installed.

[IMG]IMG_6129 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

I am trying different side covers.

[IMG]IMG_6130 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

[IMG]IMG_6132 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

This cover needs a lot more massage to fit correctly.

I am making a chain box.

[IMG]IMG_6142 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

The gearbox now perfect.

[IMG]IMG_6141 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Style 2.

[IMG]IMG_6145 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Also, building a ballast deck for heavy haul push/pull. attached on the fifth wheel.

[IMG]IMG_6153 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

More to come.

[NRS91]

Smart work Bo!
Any suggestions for stripping the chrome off the rear mudflap brackets?

[Bo Wallen]

Thanks, NSR91, (Wish I knew your real name by now.)

Yes. I use this product as it comes, don't dilute it, just use it concentrated, The plastic/PVC parts can stay for weeks, no worries of harm to them. Overnight soaking should be enough for most parts, longer if needed. The more times you soak parts, the weaker the bleach gets. All you need to do after the soak is rinse the pieces thoroughly and wet sand with 400-1000 grit for the paint to hold too.

[IMG]IMG_5921 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

P.S. I dechrome almost all parts. Not a fan of chromed parts on a work truck
