Today I striped down the frame and painted it. I also started adding the trim pieces and MFU lighting to the cab. This is going to be interesting stuffing the MFU, the speed controller and dual switch for the screw drives, and the light unit for the light bar in this cab. This cab has also had the hood height and grill shortened, Tamiya Cowboy did the hood mod and sold it as a Freightliner Columbia then I cut the sleeper off for the day cab look. With the hood shortened I have no extra room there so it makes things even more difficult. I still have to figure out where to put the batteries, I have an idea just hope it works. Here are some pics of today's progress.

















Thanks for looking.
Travis

Travis!

Excellent job! I love the Knight Hauler base for the cab! This is a sweet ride! The black and chrome on the body looks great

Keep it up!

it seems i'm an outsider too in other groups
sooooo, i'm looking for a group to call home
i posted many pics in other groups and just get ignored
i'd say it sure makes ya feel down
that's why i decided not to waste my time posting anymore
i'm still building but its all for my private collection
anyway, enough about that

love the flatbed carrier

Glenn you are more than welcome here. I have looked at your builds and you do some great work I really like the BJ and the bear truck. As for the screw drives I posted some good pics on page one with some explanation. I also have a thread on my blue dump truck with some real good pics and info. Here is a link to the dump truck. Click here If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will see what I can do to help.

I started installing the MFU tonight and got it up and running. I still need a bumper to install the fog lights, figure out where to mount the speaker, light bar' and tail lights. I ended up mounting batteries in the fuel tanks and it seams to work real well. Here is the video.

Thanks for looking.

I don't know why anyone would give this lukewarm feedback, it's great, really innovative and great engineering with the working bed. Nice job on making something different.
