Hostile's projects and various
 

Hello everybody! Finally got around to making an account on these forums. Hopefully peeps like what they see.

I no longer have a facebook account so some of these images would be familiar from there. Will update with my goings on. Truck/trailer builds as well as odds and sods for mine or my friends trucks.

Thought id start with pics of my 1st build. 3 stages of my k100 b double car carrier. 1st shot is a regular globe before i decided to change it. Truck is close to finishing. Been a lengthy delay due to savage financial issue.

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Looks like your car carrier is going to be a winner for sure.

Ty Chris. I need to refab the wheel mounts on the 1st trailer, make the upper deacking for the 2nd trailer and make thecross braces which will be used to mount the curtains. Atm ive taken the axles off to make the other trailer. Still need a 2nd set of auto legs and a wireless lighting kit. Still a bit off from finishing it though. Keeping a diary like this is inspiration.

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Hey Tracy. Its been a while. Im angling to be there at the next meet. Hopefully the last bits and bobs on the truck will be done and then i can finish the trailers. Problem is im building 6 different ones at the same time! Lol

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

So time for another update. Paint has been stripped off the globe. Cant get over the fact i needed steel wool to get the paint off...!! Made up a drop visor and spoiler for the roof. Need to sand down the repair work still and make a new mounting hole so the cab sits on the base properly. Getting closer to paint.

Looking good!

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Ty egron. It was alot of work to get it to look good again. Still has marks etc im unhappy with but thats hours to putty and sand. Also you couldnt see it until it was painted. But its 100% better to what i started with. Now to finish/fix the king and finish the daycab scania and daycab daf.

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Thats a pretty sweet auto hauler! Nice work on the construction too! I don't think I've ever seen a day cab globe liner before either.

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Ty for the compliment! I really need to push with finishing it. Work has had me busy of late. Also i have a bad habit of starting new projects before i finish old ones.

I do know there is a day globe on here the "crackerbox". Pretty sure it was in the show us your cabover thread.

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

That cab looks a lot better now! Hard to believe it's the same one. If it's not perfect, do some weathering so it looks intentional.

I saw another globe daycab done as the shortest dumptruck ever. I think the wheelbase was less than the width.

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Thanks frizz. Ill leave that up to the owner. Doubt he will weather it since he has around 30 trucks as it is lol!

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Im sure there was an epic daycab cabover pete in the us truck thread too

Re: Hostile's projects and various
 

Ok so posting this for skeeter and hopefully inspiration to get a move on with this build. Trying as close to his 1:1 as possible. Car carrying mack with a cab frame. The cut down sleeper sat perfect as the irl truck so cab and hood where fitted accordingly.

His 1:1
