Default Re: New MAN 8X8 Dump Truck With Pup

Well now that you have all seen what the truck started life in my hands as, here are some updated shots of my progress from yesterday and a little bit this morning.

Trucks new stance and back together minus rear fenders.



New one piece frame rails with very minimal holes drilled.





Very clean servo mount and NO RIVETS!!!



And now for the cleaned up cab and wiring mess all gone.





And only one wire loop you can see through the windshield but I'll have that fixed in no time.



Now all I have left to do is install the fenders when they get here and start mocking up for the new dump bed and lift mechanism then it should be smooth sailing from here on out. I plans to make a low side dump like originally on it and also build a new dolly for it to tow.

Thanks for looking and lemme know what you guys think of the progress.
