Steve-my foot has healed up okay but now I am faced with shoulder surgery to repair a rotator cuff. The doc says I cannot use my left arm for 3-4 wks so I'm not sure how that is going to work. I will put it off as long as possible. The silver solder I am using has to get really hot (1400deg. I think) to melt and warpage is a big problem. I plan to use brass on the dump box and I don't know if that will help the problem but I may have to build a fixture like you said I'm just not sure how to go about that. Papy-thanks a lot-I would like to see a close-up of the grille. I don't know what material to use for this. I am not going for exact scale. I don't have enough info for that. I just want it to look close but mostly I need it to operate really good as a dump truck. Lilgiantsjoe-thanks a bunch-that is a very nice model in the link. I don't think my skills are up to that. I just want a working truck.
