[fhhhstix]

Well we are taking about doing truck pulling at the meets so here is my truck. Their will be no secrets with mine as I am going to show you a step by step build of my Globe Liner.

Firs step dump all of the parts out on the rotary table :D and for the new guys this is how you should do it.:rolleyes:

Next get rid of the instructions and that nasty pink off the shocks.:D The pink is very easily removed with ZEP-A-LUME aluminum cleaner 10 times faster than ez off and no where near the mess.;)

Thanks for looking.

Ducde - that was fast! Just like a pullin truck - no interior, lights, windows or cushioned seat- all business. What rear tires did you choose?

[fhhhstix]

Here is the video of the test run. At the beginning the truck is in 3rd gear and wide open then I put it in 1st. The rest of it is just seeing that it all works OK. Izzy those are RC4WD Roadys, they were part of the last order.

[Diesel Demond]

[fhhhstix]

Travis

[dsm4g63punk]

great idea with this build! cant wait to see more of it

[Pedal Stomper]

Wow! You didn't waste much time with this one! I like it. I thought I saw the gears turning in your head after you pulled that sled in Jackson. hee hee hee... :D

Scott

[fhhhstix]

Heck yea I am ready to do this.

Travis

[cabrover]

Keep that Diesel Truckin'. ::cool:

[9W Monighan]

Will it have lots of frame twist like the 1:1 rigs I've seen.

[Gregg]

I saw an old COE Peterbuilt today. What a fine looking truck it is too.

[SWAGGER]

Yeah it really does have a very "rough and ready for anything" look about it. Like a little pitbull! I really like those wheels too, so 1:1 looking.

[Outlaw Puller]

Hey Travis your truck looks cool keep the pics coming.It was cool seeing your truck pull my sled at Jackson TN show. I need to get your email so I can send you the pics of your truck.
Thanks. Les

[fhhhstix]

Thanks Les and I am glad to see you here on the board. Just be careful looking around, these trucks can become addicting.

Travis

[Brian in PA]

It looks like it's all business Trav!

Brian

[fhhhstix]

Thanks Brian, now I just have to decide what to do with the body and paint. I have thought about making it look similar to Robs black KW idk.

Travis

[Outlaw Puller]

I know hope to get a truck after the first of the year. I have been planning on doing a build like you are doing for a month now then I saw yours a couple of days ago.Thought I was the only one thinking about a project like this lol.

[fhhhstix]

Well not much to add yet but I ordered a new grill for the truck and I hope to get it this week. I am also trying to figure out what color to paint it but nothing really sounds good to me yet any ideas?

Travis

Travis

paint it pearl black cherry with orange fenders and roof ! :cool:

[SWAGGER]

I like the sound of pearl black cherry and orange. Picturing it in my head, it would look amazing!!

[fhhhstix]

Not much of an update but I received a new grill from ihbuider today so I put it in to see how I liked it and it looks fantastic. Now I did not plan on doing a lot of body work on this truck but with the new grill I guess I gonna have to do some.

TONY

I really like the color my self. I don't plan on adding any other colors but I did use the edit screen and add some text to a pic to see what it would look like.

Here are some pics of the truck and an up close of the cab so you can see more of the color and the amount of metallic in it.
