STYRE Phase UPDATEEEE!@!!!!

I cannot show the build process as I do not have a cam right now.
The cam is here but the battery has no charge and the Charger is at my brothers gf's house in PA! lame! but oh well, I took these pix right now
with his webcam. Ill take better one's tonight.

these here are a bit small. the cab isnt fitted down yet, but soon it will. still in testing period. Project is about 40-50% complete.

new Updates, more detail to the function added. of the back unit.
As it will need to lift entirely, motors, and all with the back door.
so the mechanism will be placed within the door entirely which will be
a little tricky! but im getting there project is now abuot 60%

UPDATEEE

WOW, really nice rig. The detail work is very true to how a waste hauler is, before I retired our company maintained the heavy equipment that placed and covered the refuse in a landfill"thumbsup" Love the Alcoa rims but the white rims look like they belong on the rig.
