Thanks! Its a pain to cut it in two directions because it makes for alot more pieces to put back together but im pretty happy with the turn out

Thanks! Its Evercoat Poly-Flex glazing putty. I hope its what im supposed to be using but so far it has worked very nicely


Body work is pretty much complete, i think i spent about 4 hours sanding yesterday





Started on the headlights and dang, i fought these guys for hours I had to stuff 4 wires in a single hole..... but i finally got them











And the new frame-less dump trailer..... (new to me, that is)

Default Pete 379 with UMS Hydraulics Installed!! 2-25-12

Installed the hydraulics on the truck and tested them out with the JMI frameless and a full load of rubber. The trailer sometimes has trouble going down does any one have any ideas as to why?

Here is my first video i took when i was just testing everything:

And here is the video with the truck and trailer operating together:

Excuse the driving, i havent driven in a few months so im a little rusty
