Looks great!Cant wait to see it back together.I just ordered one of those transmissions,looking forward to see how it works.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks guys!


Paul I never felt good about that trans after it broke on me, just doing some testing. I repaired it but how long before it breaks again?


Still need lots of stuff including another diff, going three axle drive heavy hauler.

Truck is going to look great. I see you've spent a lot of time dolling up your tractors too I guess. Noticed a lot of them have lights and wipers and stuff on them to add detail, I have quite a few tractors but all original for the most part and most in, or with, boxes. Like the 2 way antenna on the 2+2! Oh, and that's a BIG train LOL!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

I really like what you have done with this wedico, it is how they should come from the factory. I like the size comparison with the 1/16 tractors, are the tamiyas also close in size?

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Sandfarmer, the tractors you are looking at are Ertl Precisions, they come with all the goodies on them. I have done some wheels changes to a few Precisions and added duals and a ROPS to a 1066 Precision but mostly they are all stock.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thank you for the compliments, the Tamiyas are a little larger than the Wedicos, where you will notice it most is in width and tire size.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Putting somethings back together today couldn't resist taking a few photos even though cab and sleeper are not bolted down.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Craig, even as a glider, your truck looks really great. That front hitch on the bumper gives the look you are after. That turned out really nice. Out of the hitches you were looking at putting on the bumper, that's the one I would have went with too. I'm really liking the new paint scheme. The black fenders look great with the red cab and hood. That's one color combination that definitely looks as good on a 1:1 truck, as it does on your Peterbilt. I also like the scale hardware. Hope you'll have a smooth build, from here on out. I can't wait to see it finished.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks for the compliments Nate, I'm really happy with that hitch, I had that one professionally installed. I know another guy's truck that could benefit from a hitch like that like that.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

That looks really sharp Craig!!! Loving that front tow hook too!:D

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Alex! Nathan mounted the hitch for me and Russ made the bumper, they go together like they were meant to be.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Craig looking good...love the color choice black and red always looks great together...

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Bob!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Craig, how about a frontal shot of that bumper and hitch?

Also in that last photo you can see some of the M2 bolts and lock nuts that are so much fun to put together.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Looks good, Craig. I see you got those mini jack stands you were talking about. The nylock M2 nuts are great. Might need some of those, myself, someday.
