Not sure. I just saved the link I saw in another post. They offer the S/S and the brass.

. This is a kick a$$ build. I am hooked. I have always wanted to build something like this, but getting the funds together for those axles is a little on the hard side. Maybe I sould sell my super to fund the build???

Keep up the great work. This is awsome.

Well still havent ordered any bolts for the links, but I did order the other rear axle and I managed to build the bed from some card stock!

I also had time today to start the cab from card stock as well.

If its as slow at work tomorrow as it was today I should make some good progress...No money but some progress on my toy truck........Im all screwed up!!!!

Dirty · 12-01-2009, 07:36 PM

slow work is bad, progress on toys is good. this thing is gonna rock.

rcjeepbuilder · 12-02-2009, 03:32 PM

Thanks Dirty!
I did get a little time to work on it this morning. I built the top from copper plate, I formed it around a wooden buck and heated pounded cut and soldered till I ended up with something that resembled a top!

The buck

After alot of hammering ,heating,soldering and cutting.

It looks alittle beat up due to all the hammer forming , but I think I like the look of it!!!

Tommy R · 12-03-2009, 11:59 AM

That top came out fantastic!!

pantablo · 12-03-2009, 12:04 PM

definitely fantastic work, all of it. Impressed with all the work that went into the spring hangers and other small hardware. Crazy! This will be amazing when done.

rcjeepbuilder · 12-03-2009, 12:47 PM

Thanks fellas! I wont be making any major updates for a while due to income problems. But I will be doing the small stuff that doesnt cost much to do..
So stay tuned.....

G-crawler · 12-03-2009, 01:50 PM

Sweet work on the top, like pablo said it will be amazing..

rcjeepbuilder · 12-07-2009, 11:35 AM

Not a huge update, but its an update! I built the sides and rear of the cab up and their all brazed in.
As well as a dash and an under support for it.

Started on the windshield frame. still have to make the center support .

And heres what it looks like all slapped together.

rcjeepbuilder · 12-08-2009, 12:07 PM

The latest.

Just wondering if anyone has a good idea on how to add body line details to a flat panel??

93 FORD BRONCO · 12-08-2009, 12:35 PM

looks amazing

Depends on what your trying to achieve, but you could use solid copper wire or brass rod. Different sizes will get you different effects. Plus you could easily mold it in with soder or brazing rod.

By the way, that is some of the nicest metal work I've seen. I've been in the sheetmetal trade for 24 years, I would know!

Nick Furia · 12-08-2009, 01:17 PM

Awesome.

happyelk · 12-08-2009, 01:56 PM

This work is really awesome!

You did the first body drawing in 1/10 - do you have a pic of the 1/12?
Just interested to see the dimensions.
Btw - which scale are the axles (width and housing) - more 1/10 or 1/12???

Actually I ended up going with 1/10 scale on it..The axles are realy close to 1/10.
