I did before but I still need to find a way to turn the mfu in and of and be able to adjust the volume.. That's the next goal.

Ok cab is pretty much closed for good now well at least i dont need to access it anymore.. I relocated the battery again to the frame rails and moved the switches for the MFU. My speaker idea didnt pan out as i kept blowing speakers so that is a little dissapointing, so i resoldered the original speaker back in. I also started the light box to hide the rack mount.

used the face for a template on the floor

I can access all controls of the mfu and its completely hidden.

Heres what i have come up with so far as i was explaining before

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...625_003921.jpg
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...625_010056.jpg

I still need to try to hinge it and add lights to it but it will deff hide the mount the way i thought it would

Thanks for looking!!

The light bar prob wont be painted for indy as the truck is not staying this color so the less new stuff i paint the less that needs to be stripped before the new colors go on. the light bar is not fully mounted yet and just taped on for now i need to get 4 new red LEDs thast match so i can rewire it :eek:
Thanks for looking

Aaron, i like the idea of hiding the control panel. Functional, yet clean looking. And I like the box w/ the led's. Great job.:D:D:D

Thanks Big john! i like it cause i can just reach under the drivers side of the cab and control everything! I have the lights in the box ran off the mfu just soldered 2 more red leds to the brake lights in a series i still may throw in a resistor if needed in the future as the rear bumper is going to have 5 more lights in it...

well all i can say is "Holy smokes!" looks great. if you were to put a drome box on and paint it UVL colors, i would swaer it was my uncle jims old rig.

Re: My Stretched globeliner

I love it!!! Now i just gotta light it up. Now im wondering if i could just cut the old fog lights off the leads and series in the 8 2v LEDs i need? i added 2 to the brake lights with no ill effect.. maybe through in a 56ohm resister or 2? My lowboy is 5 sets of 4 led/1 56ohm resistors in a series... Still need to order the new pipes, visor, and wait for one more custom part and it should be pretty much done minus new paint scheme. Anyways thanks for looking

THANKS AGAIN RUSS AND LYNN!!

Thanks buddy!! I have a new cab, rails on order, and made new fenders for the new paint. just cant mess up that nice paint it has now!


And the new bumper has lights!! May change how its ran i ran 2 series of 4, 2v 20ma leds each series with a 56ohm resistor on the negative side and hooked it up to the old fog light wires... may split it to only 4 lights on a plug using the extra light plug.. not sure yet any thoughts from the other with more lights then this?? How did you do it properly?
wasnt happy with the last set of pics i posted so here are some new ones outside and then with the lights working :)

Wow, I was never a real big fan of the globe liners until I started watching this build. I really like the new front bumper with the extra lights on it. This whole truck has come together very well. I think my next project will be a globe now.

dabears 07-17-2012 12:13 AM

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 
Changed how i had the front bumper wired up (thanks TC for the help) and the lights are brighter so im happy. Also got more lights done on the lowboy here are some pics as usual :)

Yes inside frame has 2 lights in each side too :D

Still far from done but much better. Tailer is only 50% done total with the rebuild.

Thanks for looking!!!

the trailer is scratch built originally by another member. i have been re doing it to the way i want it to be and look. on the list is more lights, lowboy tires, powered neck, but for now its rolling and almost ready for indy..

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 
I must say the 'ol globe w/ the lowboy look's very, very impressive. And the brighter led's look way better. Now hurry up and "git-r-done".;):p:D:cool: And I almost forgot, the bumper look's awsome.:D:D:D

The globe and lowboy are looking good. Good job on the LEDs. That bumper gives the truck a tough look. Good job, keep the pics coming.

Thanks Buddy! i agree the bumper gives it one heck of an attitude look. But just wait till its done, with the new visor and stuff it'll look bad a$$
