Default Re: Cutting up a Globe Liner

Oh-oh! I hope I didn't push you into something too difficult. The proportions are better with the lights at the edge of the cab, but I agree, it's very difficult to do..

I was scared of the round lights myself.. that's why I went for the more modern version of the cab. It's simply easier to do. Plus, the latest versions of the K100 were even available with a recessed front axle (in case I wouldn't have been able to move the axle forward). And most newer K100 even lack the big air cleaner on the driver side.

Maybe you can sand down some of the parts to get the curvature of the cab right once you mounted them. In any case.. a successful "operation" will reward you with a unique cab.

Good luck!

Cheers

Pip

Pip, I'll figure it out! If I mess up, worst case is I buy a new cab, and they aren't overly expensive. I have been studying K100 photos carefully, and I think I can make this work and look good. Thanks for the encouragement! I feel like I know exactly what needs to be done, now that found some really good photos of the 1:1 trucks.
