So when are you starting on your excavator to pull behind it on the low boy?:p:D

Thanks buddy! Lol right! I'm not anytime soon, so I figured I'll just haul Nate's loader around and just not take it off my trailer ;) haha after running his that day I want it! Definitely need to get down there and run it again.

My goal after work is to wire the lights up then run the truck in the dark with the trailers in the basement after I make new rear fender mounts.

I kinda missed out on running it, I would like to run it one of these days but you probably couldn't pry the radio out of my hands!:p:p:D

Aaron, the truck is truly amassing. Love the new lights and rear bumper. Looks awesome with the LowBoy hooked up. I'm still looking for one myself. Good job.

Thank you everyone for the great responses and feedback on my truck at Indy! At Indy I installed a 4:1 and I love it! Since my radio is still down and no big shows coming soon its time to change stuff. Got a lot of changes in mind. Got some parts ordered and some in the works so here is how she looks until the next update in about a month or so. Should be drivable by the st Louis meet. :)

what did you use to cut the sheets of plastic that you traced the fenders with?

I used an exacto knife and patience lol. once I cut one out I used it to help trace three other side out. I now have a "template" from a sheet I cut a fender side out of that I can use to trace out and score the next one with. Hope that helps. I've seen circle cutting things at Michaels and hobby lobby as well in the scrap booking area...

WOW time to dust this off a little. Took a few mins to use the nice day out to snap a few outside shots with the new visor today with it hooked up to the lowboy. There are a few more changes yet to be completed on it and hope to have them done in the next week or so. :D
Enjoy

Looks wicked Aaron:cool: you know how much I love this COE and it looks sweet with that lowboy :D:D
Great idea to take advantage of the days we have left outside. After the last week of working on the kitchen table, we have some good weather too so it has been nice working in the garage today :)

Thanks for the update pics! :cool:

Re: My Stretched globeliner
 
Aaron, every time I see this globe, I fall in love with it all over again.;):) And I noticed you added hubs to the rear wheels, nice touch.:cool::cool: And you added elbows to the exhaust...it's about time, lol.:eek::eek::eek: Now this is just my opinion, and i'm not knocking anything about this ride. But you might add some of Steve's great wheels...just a thought.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hey Aaron the truck is looking great. I really like the outside shots and the inside dark shots with the lights in it as well. This truck just gets better each time I see it.

Thanks Buddy!! the Cat is a Bruder Toy (on my list for conversion) You can get them from bruder or lately i have seen them at Menards in the toy aisle this year. I bought mine from Russ at Indy as i had been wanting one for a load on the lowboy until one of my other projects is complete. :D

Thanks for looking everyone!! More updates again in a week or 2..:D
