Looks like you are building a RM, steel nose center mounted cab. ALL DM-800, 600, DMM's & U models were built with the offset cab.

That is very nice! How do you keep everything so symmetrical? Cab doors, hood, fenders.....separate parts that just look perfectly matched. You are a heck of a scratch builder.

[skl1cent]

haha thanks! well the hood I make my own blueprints and stuff, and then the rest I just eyed it. the dashboard I just looked n studied n built lol as well as the tank n step hahaha :)

[Bigrigger]

I love the progress! I was wondering if you were going to go with the offset cab. You're al about the interiors now, eh?

What tires are you running? They look narrow, but aggressive, like old M35 tires.

That looks great! Is the door just sort of wedged in the door frame, or are there some hinges that I can't see?

[skl1cent]

haha jus wedged in I don't have the hinges for it yet I'm gonna order those after I finish up the build :-) its close
