Re: project Road Hawg
Time for a small update.
Shot some primer on the sleeper to see how much sanding I still need to do.....Holy cow. All the little spots are magnified. . Also got the motor/trans and 5th wheel mounted. Then moved the front axle forward some more. Gonna have to mount the shock tower mounts at an angle to to keep the function of them. here's a couple pics

Re: project Road Hawg
Haven't had much time lately to work on the truck, but was able to get a little bit done. Still ongoing body work. Got the motor/trans, and cab floor mounted. I couldn't resist a little mock up to see what it might look like.
Here's a couple pics. I think the height of the sleeper might be a bit too much. What do you guys think.

Re: project Road Hawg
Had to dust this off for a small update.
I cut down the height of the sleeper, got the hood glued back on. The weather wasn't cooperating to try and get any body work done. Seems like all I do is fill and sand, then repeat. Got a package in the mail the other day...Steve's A/C's, these are nice. I had to put them on and see what it looked like. Then today I got home from work and another package came in the mail

Re: project Road Hawg
Nice work with the cab mods. You're pretty good with styrene! The extra work is really going to pay off when the model is painted.

Re: project Road Hawg
Well being that I don't drink anymore I figured I'd stay home and work on the truck some. So what better way to bring in the new year than with a small update. I got Russ's steps and John's stacks mounted. I also am using Paul/Russ's stack relocation brackets. Russ sugessted using 1/8 in flat stock to mount the steps. After trying to figure out how to get the heigth of the step right, the answer was in front of me with the stack relocation bkt. I drilled 2 holes to mount the flat stock to the frame, then drilled two lines of vertical holes in it and filed the parts in between to give me 2 long holes so when I mounted the steps tho the flat stock it gives me the ability to adjust the heigth of the steps. Also got Steve's a/c's mounted
A few pics

Re: project Road Hawg
Small update. I made a set of fuel tanks andot them mounted. Had to make a small adjustment to the sleeper to have enough clearance for the stacks.
Let me know what you guys think

Re: project Road Hawg
Time for a small update. Getting the bodywork close to being ready for paint. Still waiting on a couple parts for the cab to finish it up. In the meantime I installed a set of Russ's airride on the trailer.
Then I couldn't resist getting it together and taking it out for a test drive. Let me know what you guys think.
