Looks incredible Steve! Awesome Rig.

You do amazing work. It still amazes me that you make all of those beautiful wheels without cnc!:eek:

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

thanks ace

thanks Scott , you know I just do not have that CNC mentality . CNC is great for production or the hard to get compound curves and 3 dimensional objects . Where I come from PRODUCTION = COOKIE CUTTER I'm just not a fan of cookie cutter , I had to much of that in my business ( boring :eek: )

use the gorrilla glue on some steel parts might work i would test it on something else first

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Don't use CA. I think that will cloud the paint and metal. The metal could be polished, but the paint not as easily cleaned off. I'm thinking some sort of low tack glue. Maybe even something like a thin layer of rubber cement. Any excess could be pealed off. Then shot some clear coat over the top, and I think that would do it.

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Steve - those did come out nice! Were you able to dremel in the finer details??

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I had tried double sided tape on my IH and it held for a while - but I bet my trim wasn't formed jsut right - yours is nice and flat to flat yes? maybe it would work for you???

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

double sided sticky tape like in the window kits at walmart might be good yea i never thought about the clouding from the strong glue come to think of it i glued my metal parts when there wasn't any primer either sorry glad you didn't take my advise it woulda been bad

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Chris maybe later when I get the nerve they're so nice I don't want to mess them up and just a few feet away it be hard to see it any way

I may rough the underside and use the clear epoxy I used on my light trim on my 9370 dump . I just had to taped it on to see how it looked and get a pic put them back in the bag and in the carry crate till I get all the other items to finish the truck . now to find out who can print IH on a rubber mud flap :rolleyes: I tried stenciling and look like poo :(

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Steve, I use the permanent Scotch double sided tape. I got it from Staples. It works great! I have it holding my Peterbilt emblems on both trucks with no problems.

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I would ask ric where he get's those lady decals for flaps from - theyre pretty nice and holding well on my IH .......

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I've been wanting to have reading international logo on my mud flaps . thats where my 2 grandfathers worked .
