Im also making him a custom Lusty EMS tipper trailer to go with it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scrap pieces just to mock it up are added and the roof is bent to get the proper angles ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fender Design ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() remove lining from old door and replace it with new doors and proper hinges on both the cab and sleeper ![]() ![]() ![]() gotta clean everything up, LORD knows I HATE wires everywhere lol, spaghetti is meant for meatballs not TRUCKS! ![]() a little cutting and fabbing ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() thanks for looking guys more to follow later... |

The sleeper roof and windows look a little to big, have a look at Oztrucks K200 and you will see what I mean

If it were getting an interior it would have been, but unfortunately the customer opted to not do an interior for this build...
Thank you Bruce! |

Well it clearly is, as the visibility window is on the left side, but since it is getting no interior and black window it wouldn't really matter what side the steering is one because you couldn't see it lol.....

Not 100% sure where I got them from it was while back! they were made to replace the mfu plug so y use them to plug into the trailer for lights and such... I'll try to look and see where I got them and I'll message you when I get the site, it was over seas..

I when you did the hood you forgot the raise it up eg the difference between the top of the wheel arch to the top of the hood, to allow for the battery box under the drivers / passengers door which sit top level of the chassis, and the reason for the large hood is for the larger radiator and the rest of the crap thats under there and the reason we have cabs sitting higher is to help cool the engine down,
Cheers Cossett and it is miss not sir..............

I've cleaned this up , in the future please refrain from blatant bashing , it's not tolerated on this forum . Constructive criticism is ok to a certain extent , it makes us all better builders .

I am well aware the truck is taller, etc etc, there are ways of making the visible while still keeping the construction of the tamiya truck and suspensions uniform, which you will soon see when it is done.
