Default A little globe build

Hey guys, been a long time but it's here! For the past 3 days I've been working on this till 4am lol I can't really call this a build because I didn't get pics from step one till now but here is a pic of how it sits. BTW I can't only post one pic at a time because I'm on my iPad and can't get to a computer at the moment and don't know how to get more then one pictures at once. Anyway I'll keep you all informed on what's going on!

I think the frame lenght you have is perfect for a coe. What paint scheme are you planning on? Looks like you have a really good start, I know they are addicting. You start messing with them and before you know it 6 hours have gone by, haha.

Lol thanks guy! The cabs going to be the same blue as the frame. But I don't know if I'm going to paint the chrome black or not. Tonight I'm going to be filling in some holes and getting ready for paint.

Looking good with those longer frame rails. Keep the pictures coming, as you make progress.

Kausekaos there king hualer frame rails. I got a little more progress done tonight. Put some of the detail parts on and filled in the antenna hole and the MFU button holes in the back of the cab. If all goes good with sanding the body will see color tomorrow! after looking at both pics, I'm thinking about not doing roof lights. Thoughts?

I haven't decided yet. Guess I haven't really thought about it.

Good looking rig, you should move the front axle forward if you are feeling ambitious

Undo the 4 nuts on each side holding the U bolts. slide axle forward in front of the rivet on the springs. then tighten nuts down,
Side note you may have to modify your cab and re cut the wheel arches, and you will have to re adjust your servo linkage...

Its a little bit of work but if your making mods it would put the fronts where they should be for a COE..
