Default Hostile's projects and various

Hello everybody! Finally got around to making an account on these forums. Hopefully peeps like what they see.

I no longer have a facebook account so some of these images would be familiar from there. Will update with my goings on. Truck/trailer builds as well as odds and sods for mine or my friends trucks.

Thought id start with pics of my 1st build. 3 stages of my k100 b double car carrier. 1st shot is a regular globe before i decided to change it. Truck is close to finishing. Been a lengthy delay due to savage financial issue.

Looks like your car carrier is going to be a winner for sure.

Ty Chris. I need to refab the wheel mounts on the 1st trailer, make the upper deacking for the 2nd trailer and make thecross braces which will be used to mount the curtains. Atm ive taken the axles off to make the other trailer. Still need a 2nd set of auto legs and a wireless lighting kit. Still a bit off from finishing it though. Keeping a diary like this is inspiration.

So time for another update. Paint has been stripped off the globe. Cant get over the fact i needed steel wool to get the paint off...!! Made up a drop visor and spoiler for the roof. Need to sand down the repair work still and make a new mounting hole so the cab sits on the base properly. Getting closer to paint.

Thats a pretty sweet auto hauler! Nice work on the construction too! I don't think I've ever seen a day cab globe liner before either.

Ty for the compliment! I really need to push with finishing it. Work has had me busy of late. Also i have a bad habit of starting new projects before i finish old ones.

I do know there is a day globe on here the "crackerbox". Pretty sure it was in the show us your cabover thread.

That cab looks a lot better now! Hard to believe it's the same one. If it's not perfect, do some weathering so it looks intentional.

I saw another globe daycab done as the shortest dumptruck ever. I think the wheelbase was less than the width.

Ok so posting this for skeeter and hopefully inspiration to get a move on with this build. Trying as close to his 1:1 as possible. Car carrying mack with a cab frame. The cut down sleeper sat perfect as the irl truck so cab and hood where fitted accordingly.

His 1:1


Trailer. (Not his but the same)


Front shot.
