American Pie, LOL, LOL!!! The guy's who thought it was funny when my rocket transffered into a boat wouldn't think it was so funny if I showed up with this rig and launched a rocket, now would they.

Thankyou Aaron, yea the fronts do give the truck attitude. I'm thinking of grabber green fenders, roof, and frame with either a black or white body...and of coarse matching gooseneck and lowboy.

Well I laid down some paint on Mr. spread axle today. Now when Indy time comes, it will have some color. I haven't clear coated yet, that will be after the show.







Thanx for looking, Big John

Well boys and girls, i've been busy the past two days. I've got most of the painting done, but I ran out of grabber green. I'll have to get some more for the allen screws on the rear wheels. Let me know what you think.











Thanx for looking, Big John

I think i like it Big John!!! Looks great, just gotta pull a grill on it lol The green and black look great together!

[firefighter-1177]

LOOKING GOOD!!!!! One suggestion though, maybe try to mod the box in front of the center axle so it flows into the rear fender. You know so it matches the tool boxes. just a thought. But it still LOOKS GREAT!!!

Thanx Ken, and another member suggested the same thing on the boxes. And I started to but backed off for now. If I do this, it will be after Indy.

Here's an update, I got a pair of ihbuilder's (Steve's) air cleaners, and they are sweet. And when I was at Indy, I picked up a set of head lights and antennas from Ric. Now I have decided to go all green and the truck will be named "GREEN GOBLIN". After I re-paint the cab, I will get an aluminum drop visor, and hopefully one of Brians sweet grills.





Thanx for looking, Big John

Thankyou buddy, I used a PMD drive shaft. I just cut it to the lenght I needed. I thought the main shaft from a globe would work, but it was a bit short.
