Well here a a couple of up grades.. Got the servo activated 5th wheel done, what a pain but it was a learning thing... Thanks to Mario (S&M) for pictures of how this is done..







Todays job was to make single fenders for the drives.. First did the mounting brackets out of brass mounted to the axles. If it was not for an article about making the fender by another member (I believe it was Travis) it would have been a lot harder.. Another learning thing.. Next will be to polish them..





Thanks for looking...

Well it has been awhile, I was sick for three week with Bronchitis and was unable to work on my day cab. Well I have been back for a couple of days, Got the chassis painted I used Boysenberry, as it is one of the two tone colours I am going to use on the cab..

I have got most of the items mounted on the frame, polished the fender and got them mounted.







Thanks for looking..
