thanks Dale!
was not a smooth build.....way longer than i figured
i know i just did a five-five, but really getting into the crews, & i got an abundance of '55's right now (plus i just like the kit, nice frame etc...)
changing directions on this though, thinking all stock looking (4x4 on skinny luggies) but with a modern drivetrain, what most guys do on their 1:1's anyways
chopping up some styrene...
pretty rough looking right now. to keep the bottom of the cab level & the body lines strait, there's really no way to cut it so the windows line up decently, so i will cut out the center post, shape the windows & put a new post back in.
one other prob is the cab tapers back to front.....
....so i had to split & wedge it open.
it's going to look rough like this for a week, going camping tomorrow, beer, fishing, quadding, beer.....
so looking forward to it, we've had a heat wave (for us
) for the last couple weeks with mid to hi 90's, been brutal at work. some useless
trivia, took the laser thermometer up on the roof yesterday, air temp 96, roof temp on the surface, 165 degrees, as i roll along with my torch- around 450-ish with spikes to 500. yup, on slow broil all day....
