Pumper Truck Build

Tamiya Cowboy · #1 08-13-2010, 05:03 PM

Ok last night I finished the pump house boxing it in and I added the vents on each end of the unite on top of the pump house.

Then i had to cut 1 1/4 off the frame as I messed up a little and had to add the back step but no biggy was not too tuff to fix.

Next I had to make the side with the roll up doors. They just look like roll up doors but dont. The hole side of the truck is hinged to flip the side down for wiring later.

Ok guys here is a little update..Picks are slow to come as there are 2 sides to this truck so post picks for one side then have to build the other before I can move on..
So here is the picks I did body work on the seams and I used 3m under coating on the under side then I painted the rest of the body with Dupla color chrome so I can start covering the rest of the body with Alum and PMD tread plate.[/b]

I got a bunch of nit picken work done today on the truck. After meeting with the company and taking a little walk around the plant with Nick and getting a good up close look at the trucks I seen a few things I was not happy with the way the windows looked so I cut the nose off again and lowered it 3/8 of a inch then also cut the side windows to match that 3/8.I also changed the curve in the upper corners of the windshield.

Nose Lowered

Then I cut the side windows down.

Then I made the front bumper and the grill test piece.
