Re: Gaullee Pa,Always wanted a 9 spd Atlas movin truck
id say shorter (height), more square corners and you really need to find smaller hinges

Re: Gaullee Pa,Always wanted a 9 spd Atlas movin truck
Went back and looked at the 1:1 pics at beginning of your thread Freddy. She looks pretty **** good to me but since yer feelings are already hurt...I say you ought to do something with the hinges.

Them tamiya hinges are only good hidden from view. They are functional but look terrible. Dubro hinges have been done with some nice results. There are some brass ones that are real small too.

I have the right to remain silent. Anything I say can and will be used against me in the court of RC Truck and Construction with the honorable Freddygeardrive presiding.

Re: Gaullee Pa,Always wanted a 9 spd Atlas movin truck
Hey Freddy...
First let me say that the cab and the car deck are AWESOME.. As for the Drom Box. I think that first the hinges have got to go. Many times these have more of a "T" hinge on them. HERE is a "T" hinge that would work perfectly. You are looking at hinge #2.. I personally would file the arrow down so that then come to a smooth rounded point but that is up to you. The width is 11/32 and the length is 17/32 so they are perfect size. Second I think it would look better if it were like the prototype and the drom box being the same height as the cab and the car deck over the drom as well. The thing looks great. I'm watching this build. ~Mike~

Re: Gaullee Pa,Always wanted a 9 spd Atlas movin truck
Guys,Thanks for the input.Yea,I remember going through this w/the last set of hinges on another drom,& did I learn? Well,that's the last time I use those hinges.Plus there a pain to get.
Well,plated the frame & added a chrome strip to bottom of drom.   Since she's gunna sit for a month apart while paint sets. Figured I'de try to learn the trany shiftin.  I would of said what gear I'm in,but,didn''t want to sound like a fool when I get all confused on what's going on at the moment. Gotta get some miles under my belt w/this baby,before I act like I know what I'm doing. Thanks for lookin! FGD |
