I have the brass gears in my Pete - sticking with stock gears in this build. A little un fair but I'm on a budget. :(

I received the shipment I was waiting on - a donor hood to help get the "curves" right ... I laid in some faint lines on where I plan to cut ..... and some replacement pics of the truck - new camera!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Update!

Did some cutting - and then started pasting .... working on bridging the gap in the cuts down the center of the hood now.

Cut and paste for big kid's:p:p:p:lol::lol: I like it!!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

I sure hope that you numbered everything before you took it apart so you can put it back together.. I have no idea how you figured it out but it look good I think....

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

That looks like a real good start Izzy. Should be a real nice looking cab when you get done. Ed

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Izzy I think your gonna make a kick butt cab!! cant wait to see more

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Izzy,
That looks like it is going to be another sick build. I can't wait to see it when it is done my friend drives one of those and it looks like you are nailing the **** out of it. Great job.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Wow Izzy that is a lot of the cutting and shaping You are doing..impressive.

That is going to look nice.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Whew, that's a lot of cutting and chopping! I would never try to attempt something like that myself, but you sure have a knack for it! Looking forward to the progress.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Great work Izzy!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Man that looks like a lot of chop cut and rebuild....it will look sweet when it's done.....

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

winter update ..... long hours at work and little time to play :(

so should I pitch it in the trash and buy a bolt on cab and hood?

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

I wouldn't throw it away just yet Chris.:eek::rolleyes:;):cop: What's keeping the hood raised from the body? If I know you from your other builds, I'll bet you'll figure it out. Just don't give up buddy.:):D;)

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Lookin' Great Izzy :bounce: Keep up the amazing work!!:cool:

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Dude I'm having the same thoughts with my cat ct 660 build as I too started with an aeromax and quickly found out all I could use was the top of the hood, but it's getting there..... So u keep at it and I'm sure u will get it on the money!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Surely you looks great

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

wow!!!! looks fantastic there !!!!:jaw:

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

The truck is starting to really take shape Izzy!!!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Thanks for the kind words everyone - this is taking extra time for me - work has been really long this winter.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

i hear that izzy, the guy who puts stuff like this on shapeways is super busy too it seems LOL. i think its coming along just fine, how was the hood to work with? did it cut, sand glue easy like styrene? keep up the good work.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Cut ok - did not score and snap very well - much stronger. Didn't glue with my bondine glue very well. I use some bondine with styrene bits in it as filler and that seemed to bond to it but not weld it like styrene. Best joint is of course when I have a backer piece spanning the joint. Cuts well with a dremel but a little tougher with an exacto knife.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

project update!

Got the Cab back from a fellow member - they took care of finishing the bodywork (headlight area and smooth for paint mostly). And they laid some paint down. I like the end result.

I hit the web for some Rims Tires and Hubs .... Like them too.

Then had some time last week and some parts layin about - so I made a flat bed ....

Have a look ......

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Looking good Chris, are you going to bring it to the meet next weekend?

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

This kw is looking great. What's the plans for the grill?

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Very nice job izzy.....looks really good :cool:

Alfy

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Izzy that looks real good very nice work and the paint looks very good also. Ed

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Thanks guys. Yep the painter did great at cleaning up my bodywork. I am suprised since the shape ways has been giving troubles. He did it without just layering to cover it up.

As for the grill - looking to make inserts. Need to make some molds of the grill then reverse blank from there. Un fortunately I did not sketch the blanks before I filled it in.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Very nice job Izzy, color combo, tilt nose, flatbed. I like it a lot..

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

That is a very cool truck Izzy. I like it a lot.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Thanks guys.

I thought the removable stake sides are kool. Thinking I should add tie down straps.

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Izzy that looks great!!! Im liking it!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
 

Saw it in person this past weekend in Illinois when we got together. It's AWESOME!! Like always, another GREAT job by Izzy!

Re: T880 - Izzy style???
