Globeliner

[Lmackattack]

Here is another globe project I have in the works.. Globe cab and frame into a set forward 1980's Mack cruiseliner. This is the real truck im trying to copy but with a little more bling.

I'm working on the front for now then will have to decide if I want to cut the back of the cab to get it looking closer to the real truck. On a cruiseliner The rear wal is slightly sloped forward starting from about the middle of the wall. I will be stretching this truck out as well to about a king frame length.

Well I snapped the stock driveshaft today. I guess thats normal When pulling 50lbs with it thru the grass.

So tonight I installed lights. they will just be on a switch powered off the battery.

I want to install some more "chicken" lights to the truck but need to find those neat led brackets you guys use....what are you guys using to mount your decritive LEDs to the body work.

What sort of brackets do you mean?
Something like these?



I got hold of some aluminium bar from a local place, cut, drilled, polished, and finished off with Lynns bezels.

Yes we do have a knack...working will anything small has its own challenge.
Glad I'm making an oddball truck cab. I enjoy seeing stuff built that is not commonly built.
