This was one of my favorite dump trailers at Indy and the improvments you made are bad a$$. The electric tarp is awsome the stretch you put on the truck is perfect.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

That is one kick a$$ rig.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

looks great JD! You'll love that Scale art cylinder too!

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Hello YoungGunz ,

Beautiful assembly, more effective than mine ......

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

That frameless trailer just plain rocks, is that the new 5 stage cylinder or the 4 stage cylinder? I am going to pick my 5 stage cylinder up from Ed down at his show in a little over a week. You have everything so cleanly plumbed looks great.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Looks super sweet JD :cool:
I went back to page one on your thread the other day and to see how far and how sharp your rig has become.......hats off to ya JD, very nice work and finish :)

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Really like the new look. The electrical lines for the trailer are looking good. I think you could just about stand that trailer up on the rear bumper

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

I hope you put an updated photo in the "show us" dump truck section.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Got some pieces polished up today, hopefully I can get the rear bumper wired and the grill installed soon. I am going to have to do some machining on the front bumper for it to sit flush with the front fenders. Will have some more updates soon

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

that truck is great. that tarp is slick and good job on the lights. those chrome pieces will add to the beauty also. "must be country wide" or "truck yeah"

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Hey JD. Are ya getting close to that thousand dollar mark since saying your truck was done? :eek::p:D. Lol

Mario

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

This is a great build. I really like the transformation. The dump trailer is very nice, but that's not to take away anything from the truck. Both pieces are fine examples of modeling. Thanks for sharing the photos and updates!

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Wow, polish work looking good. Lots of lights, nice. Looking forward to see them light up. Nice job.

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Re: Pete 379 Flat Top 48"

Sorry Mario, I'm pretty sure I have only spent $9 on this since posting that. And the 9 dollars was spent on some resistors for the lights :p:p

That would be really cool, I would really appreciate it!

Finished up the rear bumper today and got a few pictures and a video. The rear bumper has a total of 20 LED's in it.

Here is the video to the video showing the lights.
