Building a new semi to eventually pull a lowboy trailer. First time trying a custom build with stretched frame.

Got my a few cab parts the other day and made my headlights using the stock chrome parts from the grand hauler kit and the duel lenses I got from shapeways.

Sorry, that was just the smart *** in me coming out. Clearly your pictures are not here. not sure if you know but you have to load your photos to an outside website like photobucket.com or one of the others to get them on the internet then cut and paste them over here using the Landscape box. Don't get discouraged, it's not that hard to do.

I wondered why I couldn't see them. New to posting on here and didn't know.

So I'm looking for a light controller and sound unit. Have the Tamiya multi function unit in my Knight Hauler. And am thinking of trying something different on the Kenworth build. Looking for a light control that's going to be more realistic than the Tamiya unit.

Thank you for adding those pictures Claus. I will figure out this stuff one of these days, still trying to learn how to post stuff from my phone.

Good looking cab.

You want your text to look like this.

Truck is really coming along well. Got the frame rails drilled and tapped for everything I have so far.

What size drill bit, & tap did you use? I'm going to have to fetch me one for my upcoming project.

I always keep a good supply of 2.5mm for drilling holes before using the M3 tap . along with a M2 tap and 1.5 drill bits for the chassis , along with 1/2/3/4/5mm and ect drill bits , a 6mm deburing bit for cleaning all hole or even when I need a counter sink hole as they come in handy for other holes on the chassis or cabs or custom stuff...
And two size sliding squares to mark the holes, then a centre punch so they are in the same location


Cheers Tracy

Made a visor and mirror brackets over the weekend.

[Hostile]

Love it. That visor looks mean!

Thanks Hostile. My wife said I need to put teeth on the front of the truck because it looks evil.
