Looks like an awesome build so far!! Look at the left rear wheel on the truck in the video when they are driving it....the wheel is totally bent to crap!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Friday is sushi bar night but was able to make a bit more progress. Cut and bent some of the upper tubes. The main spans are 4130 and the smaller(brighter pieces) are SS. Not brazed yet though - off to dinner!  |

Amazing work as usual. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your 4130?

Just seen this thing in the movie it's nuts. You'll have to take some scenes from the movie and replicate them with this that would be sick.

Dont know where the weekend went but this is all I got accomplished on this guy in the past 2 days.    Though the cab wont be done yet, after a couple more triangulations to ensure all stays square from this point on, I will be ready to figure out the mounting system to attach this cab to the frame. The tube cab has to be totally removable so that the Oshkosh cab can placed inside it. I'm thinking along the lines of a bolt on system much like my previous Unimog build but on a bigger scale - not just a removable tube roof. | |||
