Nice rig and love the work so far. I'll keep an eye on your thread to see how it turns out.

Hi,

nice work, proper build...

What about the back bord? Will you keep it as it is or will you add some plates to give it a structure ?

Hi Gizmow,
There is some structure on the inside. I didn't put anything on the outside since you won't see it with the dump bed down. This is going to be what I call a "stand way off scale" build with emphasis on the play/fun factor instead of cool scale factor. I've picked up a lot of ideas from shows and meets I've been to over the last few years so we'll see if I can pull it off!

Not much to show, finished the back of the cab and roof. Cut and rebuilt the floor.
This photo is a concept shot, I was hoping to use the stock rails but they are about 2-3" short, I need to move the steer axle back and put a scale 65" spread on the rear axles. I might as well bite the bullet and start from scratch with some blank rails.
