Not too much progress but I got the welding and grinding done on the fender extension, made a wood template / work mount and layed the first coat of filler.

Older round tube sign cranes had ladder sections bolted to brackets on the tubes, you would climb up the ladder (each section as narrower than the one below so the rails would ride inside each other so the higher you went the narrower the ladder) and stick your legs in between the rungs and stand on the greased round tube and squeeze the rungs with your knees and start working. No harnesses this was before fall protection, I never felt all that intelligent up there.

6 weeks. I've only driven it a hundred feet or so and that was too much like work. -
I thought New Hampshire didn't have commercial plates, only apportioned for over 26k

The real fun with a boom like that is being full extended and hit the down lever a little too hard, which makes the basket bounce which in turn pushes your hand into the lever harder which compounds the fun.

Must have been a hell of an RV at one time. nice staircase for the passenger

That's a beautiful sight -
Now that's something I could really use.

We've gained 3 grandchildren in the last 2 years, all girls no boys but the oldest has turned out to love anything with a steering wheel. Trucks and farm tractors are her favorite. Looks like I'll have a truck show buddy after all. She got super excited when she saw this in the driveway.

I'm pretty sure the restaurant had it attached to the end of the salad bar. I remember seeing photos of Rich taking it out of the building after taking the storefront apart. -
Permanent Thomas attraction near us. Owner used to be somewhat active in antique trucks but I think running Edaville would be enough to do. http://www.edaville.com/thomas-land

Awesome

Thats why I was curious about how much it would cost to fly Paul andMal to Boston
-
Actually that's pretty much the way I'm doing this. I'm going to pull the tek screws out as I tack weld. Ive got a plywood pattern to get the other side the same and to use to drill mounting holes in the bed sides
-
Lots of shrinking, stretching and bending. First fender is ready for some welding going to need a couple of relief cuts at the top corners, time to start on the second one. it looks so much easier on the Discovery Channel, 10 minutes on an english wheel and they have a whole new fender.

Maybe I can get Paul and Mal to fly over to do the cab while I do the frame. How much is airfare from Australia anyway? -

Yeah probably not worth much overseas even for drivetrain parts with the Scania and all -
Went and looked a 1980 R400 today Scania with RT613. Comes with extra Motor and transmission. Unfortunately it spent time as a plow and sander truck. Needs a frame, raingutter and roof repair and rocker panels. I wish I had the ambition for this. I really want a single axle R model dump but this probably isn't the way to go about it. He's asking $3500 for everything. It'll probably end up on a boat.

Happy B-day Carl

Sort of like a mullet, business in the front party in the back
