What an ambitious project While I love working with brass, I don't think that I have the nerve to make an entire cab out of it. I am not the best at sheet metal work at all. Machining brass is all together different than doing any kind of sheet metal. All I can say is "GOOD LUCK!!!"

Will be watching this build

I hope I don't disappoint. Now the cab is brass, but true to the real truck, Im building a fiberglass hood. The first one I made unfortunately didn't work out so well, but I'll show you the pictures of the forms I used.I used copper tubing to build the general shape.
I then covered it with masking tape and taped the styrofoam fender blanks to it.
I then covered the whole thing again
and this is how it fit to the cab, but the fenders are to low, unfortunately, I didn't notice till after I laid the glass(sorry I don't have pictures of the glass hood) so I have to start again

Could someone post some pics of a king hauler front axle, minus the wheels and with some measurements please. I need to build a front axle for mock up, and to place suspension. Amy help would be great. Thanks
Tim
