Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Thanks Paul ,Steve,Arron ,Rob ,Jason,and Reg...Hope I didnt forget anyone..Anyway been hard at er and cant stop now ..I tried my hand at bending the 1/4 K&S tubing ..my bender works ok ..I first tried the stainless tube the tamiya has on the stacks but ended up just buckling..so the heaver walled k&S was my solution ..I did take my dremmel and a small stone and thinned out the tips ..maybe some black paint will give it the used look as welll ..Fabbed up some tanks as well ..slightly polished but still a used look as well..
Thanks for lookin |

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Have you considered filling the pipe up with soft solder, bend it, and melt it back out?
Nice progress! Cheer's, Neil. |

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
This truck looks great, I was wondering where yoi got the metal from to make the fuel tank step? Did you cut the pattern in it or does it come like that?

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Lou, outstanding work! You have giving me insaration for my next build, I have a tri-axle chassis waiting for cab and drive train. I think I may go with a Pacific as well, I got into looking them up and they are some workhorse looking rigs! I Love it! I was going to go with a lat 40's early 50's KW, But I think a Pacific will look better pulling my B-Train Log Bunks I got from RoadRanger. Keep up the good work, Your a true craftsmen!
