Thanks Mike. I don't want it really reflective. The LED'S are bright if it is to reflective then the light coming through the gauges will be to much and it will drown out the detail on the gauge face.

You would need to remove the bases where the two motors are joined by screws and then find another method to attach the motor back together again. Even doing this I am not sure the servo will fit far enough into the motor to re-attach the oil pan. I would be very interested in your plans - especially if you have solved this dilemma. Who knows, maybe Lynn will have two motors to modify

Well I sure would like to tell ya but as of right now we have not figured it out completely. From what I can see when I look in the motor I have found servos that will work. Lynn will be removing the tubes that hold the screw for the oil pan and then I will mount the pan by a screw in both the front and rear covers.. Other than that Lynn has to get it in his hands first and then we will discuss the best way to go about the install. I will certainly let ya in on the how to when we get it done. Remember also that I have turned the pan around on my motor so the servo shaft will be going through the hole on the shallow part of the pan.

Hey Mike, glad I'm not the only one having problem's with them! I now ship all of my oil sample's via UPS-due to there incompetence(USPS). UPS is getting more of my shipping business now!
Progress on the truck is great. And welcome back!
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

I got my Air Cleaners today from Steve.....

I LOVE THEM...


These really add the to the truck.

I found some mesh that looks like the Peterbilt Oval grills on the 379X's and Steve got some and put it in for me...


Thanks







I told Steve I wanted the 15" Vortox A/C's with the oval mesh and that is what I got right down to the detail on the bottom of the can..





They are the perfect height and fit under the mirror brackets just like the 1:1's do.





And the doors JUST miss them.














Here's to you Steve Thanks for the attention to detail.


~Mike~

Thanks Snowman.. I was going to use the mesh for the grill as well but I'm thinking it might be a bit to small and it does not come wide enough.

That's from my cell phone Steve. Pretty good camera for a cheap Samsung phone.. In fact all of my pictures are from my cell.

Well it's winter again which means nothing to do when home but work on the shak..

Good thing is after just two months at the new job, I am again out of debt and have money in the bank.. Bad thing is.... Not much time for the shak.

Plan of attack:

1. Get the engine out and sent to Lynn for the steering servo.
2. Hopefully get the wheels and Tanks soon from Steve.
3. Hopefully get the Grill from Brian.
4. Purchase and fit the detail parts.. (You'll just have to wait and see what they are )
5.Get the MFU
6. Purchase several hundred LED's
7. Get motor and gear box.
8. Find someone back east, like Jersey maybe, that can paint like no one's business for a top notch paint job.
9. Assemble
10. DONE

Then after all that, I got to build a trailer to put my awesome Becky built thermoking reefer on.

Now the problem with all this is that I only go home for 34 hrs a week... No problem right.
