Thanx to SWAGGER, I had to cut the sleeper doors. And i'm thinking about cutting the storage compartment door's also...if my fingers hold out. I'll have to make new door's because again, I drilled out as much as I could, and then the ol' hobby knife.





Thanx for looking, Big John

HAHA its like the shirt i have saying "3 of the 4 voices in my head said to do it" and majority wins right looks great!! i like the idea of drilling out as much as you can.. faster then how i allways do it of all with the knife then i slip once and have to start all over
So does this mean you are going to detail the bunk now? or just put tinted windows in? either way i think itll look good

Thankyou Dave for the kind words. and i'm going to get all of the cutting done before I do more body work, 'cause I really don't like to do things twice if I can avoid it...KNOW WHAT I MEAN???

I'm going to tell you all that i've been asked that when this truck-trailer is done, a very nice gentleman wants to put this in his magazine. WOW!!! What an honor, and I was really taken back by this and touched deeply. Now I can't let up now on this build. As the old saying goes, "PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL".

[SWAGGER]

LMAO! Sorry for being a voice in your head John, but it's turning out to be well worthy of a magazine feature, so well done on that. You will be so happy with it when it's finished with no regrets because you will have done all you can do with it and not left anything out. This will be a truly unique machine.

How many hours of sanding do you think you have left to straiten up the lines and get it ready for paint?

No prob Steve, if it wasn't your voice, it might be one I don't want, lol.

Travis, i'm not real sure, but i'm going to guess maybe eight-ten...lord I hope not. But if it is, i'll just have to do it.

Well last night I made a door for the sleeper, got the hinge mounted, and put the door on. I opened the door and it only opened about 1/4 of the way. So I looked it over and relised the edge with the hinge was touching the frame edge. So I thought I could trim away just enough to get by...well I was WRONG!!! I messed it up so bad I don't want any pic's...but I can fix it. I decided to cut the door frames a little bigger, and that way when I open the doors you can see a little bit more of the sleeper interior...I guess it was a happy mistake.

No, it's not a stupid idea But I am wondering on how to make the bands logo flash, or maybe a chasing affect, or even both...

This is my cat/shop foreman, Baby D. She told me I could have today off, but I have to work on Sunday with double time and a half. But isn't double time and a half X nothing still nothing??? BTW, she likes to pretend she's Gene Simmons sometimes.

Ill find the link on my computer. I think I know exactly what your looking for to do that and its pretty low cost. Once I find it ill pm it to ya

[SWAGGER]

I don't think you are allowed to post live ebay links on here unless they are your own, but if you go to an auto parts store, just get one of those LED wands, they are 12V obviously, but might work. I bought a set years ago never used them. They just flash in time with sound, picked up by an internal mic. Quickest and easiest way to do it. They change color too. Could could fit between chassis rails or whatever, depending on what size you get.

Steve, i've already have the 12V led's for under the truck and trailer. What i'm wanting is identical to the bands logo. If you have ever seen it in "action", then you will know what i'm after.

What if you cut out the logo in styrene and just put the lights behind it?

Or do you mean this kind of thing?

That might require some electronics genius to create a little pcb.
