Popular Post randyp Posted August 2, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2012 Vinniebob, ahem,,I would like to be of some assistance here. I deduce that you wont need the kickstand anyway, just put smaller size rims and tires on the right side, truck will sit lower on that side, hereby scientifically compensating for offcamber wallybobbed cab. I know, I know, you are overcome with emotion wanting to thank me, no need, i am more than glad to share my worldly, experienced, matured knowledge with you. If you just cant help it, and want to send any monetary gifts, just PM me for address. Dr. Randyp,,D.A Phd.

Whiskymack Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Vinny,Been following your progress. It's really looking great! I'm in awe of the amount of hard work and patience it must take to do a project like yours.I'm working on a 1:25 scale U model which is about as big as I can handle! I'd like to get a look at the passenger side cab mount and the splash guard that goes in there.Could you post a picture? It would be a great help.Alastair 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26581-stuff-done-on-the-u-model/#findComment-131763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskymack Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 VinnyMany thanks for those pics. They help to explain a lot. I'll post some in progress shots because it's going to take me a while to get it finished. I tend to average several years on each build because I usually have more than one model on the go and not enough time!Alastair Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26581-stuff-done-on-the-u-model/#findComment-131824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
