After several torch welding failures to notch the rear frame, I decided to machine an end cap instead. I think it turned out good and will look nice under paint. I can even mill out the delrin block and make room to hide electronics in there.

Looks really good. I have been using a delrin mount in the front of two of my trucks to mount the front bumper to and it works good and machines good

None of the super singles look good in my opinion. Probably the tamiya ones are the most accurate to what we have in the states. None of them have the right sidewall bulge to my eye.

I really hate to burst your bubble but paint is not going to stick to the delrin block. It might look good at first but the first time you bump into something

Make a new rear deck plate and extend it wrapping the diamond plate around the delrin block.

Good thinking! I need to cover my drill mistake on the rear anyways.

FYI - some aluminum doesn't weld worth a hoot. But my local guy does mostly tig welding.

Wrap around deck plate will look good.

Nope. Been racing 1:12 rc and taking lots of photos instead of building.

Picked up this headache rack on ebay a while back. I liked the fact it lifts out of the way so I can access the battery in the sleeper.




Still hadn't fixed the rear crossmember cover up so it was time to change that:
From this:

To this:


You can see I also had to make a 2nd extended version of the electronics receptacle plate so the deans harness wouldn't hit the bottom of the headache rack.

Mounted up the gooseneck. Just need to run extensions to the receiver for aux control on the neck lock and my Izzy Bottom Dump train. Going to try to get some fenders and mounts fabbed up too.

Probably will do a body overhaul after Indy. Thinking Kenworth C500B to satisfy the beef factor I'm after

Most of the trucks I researched had it set right where I do. I haven't checked the spacing for my bottom dump trailers but those might need the 5th wheel moved back. I will eventually have an adjustable either physical or screw drive setup to move it.
