Ok well I got the cabs back from my buddy and as always he nailed it for me another killer job.. So I got them back to the shop and wet sanded and buffed them out and mounted all the shiny stuff and this is what I got...









So Friday I went to the decal shop that did the decals on the real truck and Travis took some measurements off the Rc Truck and scaled the full sized ones down to 1/14 so they are perfect 1/14 scale decals of the full size ones..















Now back to the shop and brea it down and get the frame painted...

These turned out great Paul, very nice. It's so much more impressive to see a "scale" model of an actual 1:1. It's to bad they have to be disassembled to paint the chassis.

Those are 2 outstanding trucks I don't think anyone would turn down a chance to own either 1 of them. Another GREAT build

[Snochaser]

Amazing job Paul. Great detail.

[flatdeck]

Thanks Much.. I make them out of alum using a body hammer and dolly..

Nice work Paul. With the two of them side by side, and the camera being a bit further back, my first thought was they looked exactly like two DCP models lined up. The proper scale look is there, and the proportions are great.

awesome builds,and perfect attention to detail.

Thank you very much Nate I do my best to mix scale numbers with the proper look to make trucks look as close to a mini scale big rig..

OK so time to get the owners truck finish so here we go here is the tear down..





I also while parts were hanging and drying in the shop I sanded out the edges of the fenders polished them out and put the decals on them..




Ok time to start rebuilding...










Lift Axle and fenders..














Well that is it for today back out to the shop to do some polishing and start on the MFU and rear light bar...

[petermoblin]

Looks really good Paul, you sure have an eye for detail!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well got a bunch more done on Hot Iron #1 today pretty much all done but the headlights, Light bars, Mud flaps, and fender rock guards and MFU..

So here we go got the Cattle Guard all together and mounted the Russ "True Scale Rc" made for the 2 trucks it will be lighted..





Also got the mirrors mounted and the SS fill ins made and mounted.. I will be making correct mirror brackets out of bass a little later of both trucks..


Random picks here you can see the Pete oval insert for the grill shell..








Then here is a few picks of a new part Russ "True Scale RC" made up for me is the shock box cover and a remote air line box both parts are separate from each other and hollow so you can mount lights in them or your wires.
