My Builds

[JAKEBRAKE]

I figured since I don't know what my next project will be,:confused: I would post some pics of previous builds.:D

Hope you like it.

[JAKEBRAKE]

This is where it all started; a metal brake, electric shears, and a dremel.....

This was the first year at Indy, I brought the Michigan Gravel Train, the Truck Stop and a Pole Barn. The show was alot different than I can imagine it is now.

[JAKEBRAKE]

I'm a little rusty on how to attach pics.

[fhhhstix]

No problem when your at the photobucket site just click on the bottom link for the pic which is the IMG code, copy it and past the link in your post.

My father inlaw's truck was the inspiration for my next build with some help from Heavy Duty.....

[aussietruckerguy]

nice models! one comment all the digger to forklift ties use the same mounting as the bucket, for less damage while off loading trucks.

[JAKEBRAKE]

These forks are mainly used on construction sites to move around pipe and large objects.

[Dairyland Trucker]

Your builds look great...

[Brian in PA]

Great pics Lee. its nice to see your builds again. The green Pete cabover is just awesome. Do you still have it?

[plow jockey]

Incredible!!! Those are some awesome builds!! Looking forward to seeing more.

[Espeefan]

I remember first seeing your Michigan gravel train on Ric's site. I thought it was pretty coo then. Later I came across photos of your other trailers, including the lowboy. That is one awesome trailer. I always kind of wanted one after that. Your dump trailer are equally impressive. Thanks for sharing the photos.

[heavy_duty]

Lee,you make some awesome stuff man.Whenever I plan a large build or some tricky metal work,I call Lee and I pick his brain.This guy knows his stuff.Great work,Glad you are back.

You guys got me started again.. New wheels and fenders, I have to decide on a sound system though.

[Lmackattack]

Love that cabover Pete. Is that to resemble a 362? if so it looks great

. I started too build a 352 last summer, got the body work mostly done but need to get the Grill and Headlights before I go further. They were some of the sharpest looking cab overs in my opinion. just pure classic style...

[JAKEBRAKE]

I think SmallHall has inspired me to try a conversion. Has anyone tried one of these before?

[JAKEBRAKE]

It was made to resemble my father in laws old truck. It's funny to see it still working 10 years after he sold it. I have a pic of it earlier in the thread.

[Espeefan]

That is a cool self-propelled loader. If that's what it is anyway. I've never seen one of those before, but I am sure that is a toy that existed much earlier in time than I did!

[Roadmasters]

I think Paul (tamiya cowboy) did one of those a few years back

[rcguyfarms]

Yes I did but just made the buckets operate and not the tracks

[JAKEBRAKE]

Scott, that is a cool conversion!! I am debating to make it fully functional or not. I like how you simplified the drive system, less moving parts. I am also kicking around the idea to make it into a portable screener and using an 80 rpm gear motor.

[Bo Wallen]

The green Pete Cab Over with the trailer is just awesome. Can we see more picture soon please Sir. 11.5-10 scale.

[Claus]

Love your builds, please keep them coming!

[dabears]

I REALLY like that cab over..... just sayin

[heavy_duty]

Hey Lee.Whats on the chopping block now.You mentioned a screener.Any pictures? Can't wait to see what's next.

Ed

[JAKEBRAKE]

Thanks for the comments on the cabover guys, it's my favorite truck for sure!!! Once the weather breaks I'm planning to get some more pics of it.

I'm thinking about the portable screener with some conveyors. I'm doing some research now. I'll posts some pics if I find something good.

[BRICKNICK]

I always wondered who owned that sweet green Pete that I used to see on this forum when I first joined in all the photos from the Indy meets back in the day..... Now I know, great job on all tour builds.

[JAKEBRAKE]

Thanks Bricknick, I figured it was time to blow the dust off and get haulin again.

[Claus]

I know Lee doesn't come around here much but wish he would make these lowboys again!

That is a nice looking loader :cool: :cool: :cool:

[bigford]

Looks like the pmd lowboy

[Claus]

Looks like the pmd lowboy

Lee built them and Ric sold them. It is the earlier lowboy Ric sold, styled after a Trail King.

[bigford]

10-4 didn't know that.it is a Sweet lowboy

[Claus]

Even better photos of that lowboy;
