Re: Utility Truck
Thanks grumpygrady, it'll be OD in color.
Deck is now done Got the steps done also. Welded a bit of scrap rod to hold the shape of the fender on the body. Although it has the wood deck on it now, it was made as a utility base, here is the beginings of a puner head to go on a kind of truck mounted forestry machine. A cheap 11v electric puner that should be easy enough to modify. |

Re: Utility Truck
Thanks Richard, wow a 1/6th scale truck? that will be a biggun for sure! I am not exactly sure what this one is, I think it's close to 1/10th (ish).
I havn't been able to get a whole lot done on her as far as fabbing in the workshop goes recently, some health issues are delaying my plans right now, I did get the electrics fit out done, and now I've stripped it back down to do the final touch ups and detailing back at the workshop, here is a video of the electrics on YouTube: http://youtu.be/89GhqDOvDPc Poser photo in the back yard |

Re: Utility Truck
Thank You guys, I am pretty please with how it's turned out so far.
Quote:
I have since touched up the parts on the chassis where I wanted to fill in or fix old welds and knocked back the ugly with a flapper disc, added some tanks while I was at it. I only have the 'fake' engine block left to build and it's pretty much ready for paint & final assembly. I hoped to have her done before the end of this year, but I was diagnosed with cancer not long ago and with surgery, radiation & chemo therapies coming up she'll have to wait a bit to get the last bits done, I was so **** close to finishing it too, argh! but of course the health must come first. Stay tuned, I will get her finished. |

Re: Utility Truck
She looks great Marc. When you're finished it will be a One-of-a-Kind. Excellent
I'm sorry the cancer is being a such a pain in the @$$, but keep up the good fight. I'm glad that you have found this passion we share to take your mind off of such things. God Bless and just remember... If you don't piss off at least one person every day, you're doing it wrong - RCT

Re: Utility Truck
I'm taking it easy recovering post surgery before starting the radiation & chemo, but have almost finished the radiator over the last few days. Once it is mounted in the engine bay I can start the engine block.

Re: Utility Truck
Thank You for your kind words guys!
I've pretty much completed the 'fake' engine which I will store surplus wire inside of through a hole in the bottom (most the electrics are mounted to the fire wall). Made from various bits of junk (pencil tin, old HO loco body, wood, 3.5" floppy motors, switch, bike spokes, dog food tin lid, drinking straws, mic, there's even an old turntable cartridge on it ). Still need to add the exhaust pipe to the manifold to complete it and fix the paint on the radiator pipes, but I should be hitting the chassis & body with sprey cans pretty soon. |

Re: Utility Truck
Finally finished up the fab work, last details of wing mirrors and bonnet support finished today. Next is strip down, paint (Olive Drab) and final fit out. Here is some pictures of it before I strip it back down again.
