Mack DM800 Dump

[Exclusive RC]

Keith clearly has an Orange fettish.... its so bad that Ive made up an Orange and named it after him and 50% of my paint inventory is made up of "Keith Orange"!!!!!! but all jokes aside, this is by far one of the NICEST well built, well though out Dump Trucks I have laid my eyes on and got the oppurtunity to see up close and personal.... the pictures do not do it justice what so ever.... It runs and sounds as good as it looks and the **** thing can move a house! No detail was spared, and the sad part about it, is Keith is still trying to figure out what else to do too it..... lmao... it never ends...... Great Job BUD!

I think the only detail missing with most of your projects is a company name.

Yeah, the issue with a company name would mean I'd have to keep them. Lol. This one I think will get one on it soon.

Thanks Ed, I used bathing suit material from JoAnns fabrics. It stretches just a bit, can get wet and they ends won't Frey when cut so no need for hems.

Hmmm, I seem to remember asking you about keeping or parting before

Amazing work and beautiful truck Keith.

Looks great with all the extra details. I really like the way you captured the look of a old DM Mack. Hope your diffs are locked in because that truck should go thru anything looking that tuff and all.

Truck is bad ***. Would be even cooler with a plow hanging on the front like the old dump trucks that ran around NYC. I could totally see the truck pushing some snow

Thanks Erick, not a bad idea! I may have to look into that.

[up9018]

A snowplow would be cool, but you would have to go all in and build one with the wing plow and salt spreader. Maybe even make it so you actually use it for that purpose.
