Default Ole's Take at a Ford F-800 "Big Job"

Started on this some months ago.

Midnight Pumpkin body that has been under the axe

Widened the wheelarches to make room for big rig wheels. Also made the rear part of the fenders, and the portion under the grill longer.



Monday I received the RC4WD Budd wheels, and new rubbers.




Turned down the bearinghold on the frontwheels, and milled a hex.



While I was at it, I made new "nuts" for the frontwheels.



Mock up. The cab will sit higher when all is mounted.
