Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) he made the mold, and casted it with smooth-cast resin. |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) Sweet, but you got to finish MY willys first ;-) |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) don't worry, ill finish the willys first, then ill move on to the dodge. |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) Ok, so I finally have an update for you guys. The flatbed is 95% done, I still need to make the removable sides, and a mount on the back for a pintle hitch, of course I remembered that AFTER I painted it :roll: the flatbed consists of 1/4" square brass stock for the frame, 1/8" C-channel for the supports, 3/16"x3/8" balsa for the planks, 3/8" styrene angle to cap everything off, and 120 pins to mimic the screws :shock: what a pain that was, but i like the look. The bed is just placed on the chassis for the pics, so it may be alittle un-level. I made a truss to mount the shocks in-board so i didnt need to cut holes in the bed for the shocks to stick through. I think I may leave the wood as is, and just have it wheather natually, i kind of like it.( don't mind the overspray on the wood, it has since been sanded off) http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...8/flatbed9.jpg http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q.../flatbed10.jpg http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...8/flatbed8.jpg http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...08/flatbed.jpg http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...8/flatbed5.jpg http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...8/flatbed2.jpg Heres a shot of the truss, keep in mind everything is in mockup,, it will be painted black and the screws with have nuts on them, http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...8/flatbed6.jpg And here is a shot of the mounts, 2 per side, where 1/8"x1/4" rectangle will slide into, for the sides, so they will be removable, http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/q...8/flatbed7.jpg Thats it for now, let me know what you think "thumbsup" |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) I love it "thumbsup" I cant believe how good its looks. How long did it take you to put all those pins in. |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) Thanks "thumbsup" it really didnt take me that long, since the balsa is so soft, I simply just pushed them through. Though, my finger is still sore lol. The longest part was cutting the excess off the underside of the planks, without stabbing myself multiple times :ror: |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) Thats coming along nice, looks great! You forgot your phone number on the for sale sign, who do I make the check out to? I'd like to get my hands of one of those dodge bodies too, NOOB shut my down on building another willys. |
Re: 55' willys pickup ( body built by pardonmyn00b) Thanks, I couldn't fit my number on there Lol. |
