Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
I haven't worked on this truck for months which is not good. Since the weekend was my "B-day weekend"
but I still needed to work on customer stuff I decided to work on this. I bought a used foot shear a couple of weeks ago so I have been eager to use it and get the hang of it. I started out by shearing some strips and then bending them into frame rails. I mounted up stock front suspension and chucked in some plastic cross members to get the overall width right. I then started to make my own cross members. I will likely be making my own suspension for both ends of this truck so that it looks more like the 1:1. I also built the front bumper for the truck although the front part of the frame is not cut to length yet.
Thanks for looking
