Another Tigercat...

RCP57-yes,CAT has their stuff protected. At first they flat refused to let me use the decals on my truck but I E-mailed them a second time and told them what I was doing and sent a couple of pictures of my truck. They said since I was not selling the model they could not legally give me permission to use the decals but I could put them on for my own use. Legal mumbo-jumbo

I remeber reading about that, I think its kind of silly because it's free advertisement for the manufacture.


I made some progress today on the sheet metal...

a few more...

I tried making the hood wider than it should be to gain some space inside(last post) but it just didn't look right(it wasn't) so I narrowed it to the correct proportion. I did a little more machining for the axles too but I'm still waiting for my rotary table and chuck to come in so they just fall apart everytime I move them. It's slowly moving forward though I guess.

Looks great. If you have to wait too long you could bring your parts here and use my mill with rotary table or DRO with Bolt Hole Circle function.

Thanks Richard, The stuff that I ordered should be here mid week but you never know I guess. If it doesn't show soon and we're both not working I may take you up on that. It would be good to visit anyway.

Reg, you are doing awesome. You guys and and your abilities to work aluminum with mills, lathes, breaks and welding. I wish I had a few of the tools to make it happen.

It's going to be a beauty!!!
