That's a really nice and unique dump truck :D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thank You Much, Emil. I'm delighted with this truck, fun to build, and very fun to drive. Some functions still need to be finished, and over to the paint shop.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Nice where do you get those square top KW wings from?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thank You, NRS91. I sent my design to Chris Maurer, NY, and he made them for me. I think he can make more of them.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

After 15 minutes of prepping and wet sanding, the final coat of primer is on. Not bad at all.

This cover needs a lot more massage to fit correctly.

I am making a chain box.

More to come.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Smart work Bo!
Any suggestions for stripping the chrome off the rear mudflap brackets?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, NSR91, (Wish I knew your real name by now.)

Yes. I use this product as it comes, don't dilute it, just use it concentrated, The plastic/PVC parts can stay for weeks, no worries of harm to them. Overnight soaking should be enough for most parts, longer if needed. The more times you soak parts, the weaker the bleach gets. All you need to do after the soak is rinse the pieces thoroughly and wet sand with 400-1000 grit for the paint to hold too.

P.S. I dechrome almost all parts. Not a fan of chromed parts on a work truck

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Ahh but Bo you do know my real name, its Nick Steggel with the 10x10 KW, Hanomag Gigant, Scammell Crusader, and currently making the 8x8 wrecker ;)

Cheers for the advice!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
