I am going into Washroom Fab and Garage shop this weekend with plans on having 2 tons of work done. Today my rc bro Tozrovr sent me some goodies that was kinda keeping me from progressing with my cab!

Said package containing goodies!

Needed goodies to complete the cab.

Will definitely have some banging updates and pictures all weekend so stay tuned!
Thanks again and big shout out to Tozrovr for the help!"thumbsup" You make it down south , the first few rounds are on me!

Thanks for the compliment , but a lot of work ahead of me and trying to get it done!

First of all I would like to thank Mr. Mike who answered my Craigslist ad and bought my everyday when I want to drive scale rig. It was hard to let go but it had to be done! Any how I started Saturday with a bang!

Started with my cab . Sanded it all around and prepped a mock up of the windshield and back.

While in the process , I cut myself deep with Hobby blade. Taped it up in true Fab shop style!

Next I started getting the axles and leafs set up to mount to the chassis later today.

Check out whats holding my chassis up? Straight washroom fab style!

In between wrenching , I decided to feed the family with some fresh cooked Catfish filets and homestyle fries!

Fries lounging in the grease with a few slices of onions!"thumbsup"

Enough of the pictures. Up this morning posting my first of many updates on this build. You know the process. I love and appreciate all comments and suggestions. Pushing to have it damn near rolling by this after noon and starting on priming the body as well as finishing the last of my styrene work!"thumbsup""thumbsup" Till next time be cool!

I like fries and trucks, but I don't like hobby blade cuts.

Made some damn good progress done today even with the wife having me do a few things here and there. I now can see the light of day for sure with just less than 10 days left. I feel the fire under me to push harder to finish asapish!! Anyhow check my pictures out: Sorry for the few blurry ones!::lmao:

Front done..Check..Need to attach shocks somehow!

Rear done ..Check

Doner hood wheels for my own road car... Back shocks done check!!!

Front shocks waiting for placement! Sitting on spare ones at Washroom Fab and Garage shop.

Steering will be connected tomorrow as well , outside that we looking good Houston!

I done seen some real 1:1 sitting ducked off stripped like this before! Any how, forward progress is in motion. As usual all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Food signs coming too .I must say it is shaping out better than I imagined. Holla at ya boy!"thumbsup":lmao:"thumbsup"

What it do? I love the intense pressure to finish the project under extreme conditions!"thumbsup" Any how here is my progress pictures from Tuesday. wanted to post yesterday but it turned to a war zone outside Washroom Fab and Garage Shop. O well on to the pictures!

Mock up of the back and the cab on the chassis. Look past the loaner wheels!

Back cage straight and ready.

Another view!

Bondo spot work on the rear cooler and Food warmer. Should be ready for sanding now.

The other side view of bondo.

Filling hole before sanding and priming today.

Another view of back cage prepped for sanding.

Trying to get as much done to perfection especially since I am up against all this gifted and retarded talent in this contest!!"thumbsup" But actually it is a honor to be in it as well as learn from some of the best rccrawler.com has in the scale world! As usual you know the drill. All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

 

[doc.hamilton]

[radster87]

Loving this build, the off road roach coach is an awesome idea.

 

[17dean]

The Chop shop God..No piezo ignitor ..that is my power cord attached to the power strip. You will see once its all put together !!"thumbsup Yesterdays progress pics coming after I drop my kids off at there schools! Even with a messed up economy , education is extremely important! Gonna need need some smart people to run Washroom Fab and Garage shop when I am gone! LOL

 

[Hoosierdady]

power strip/surge protector huh? Thats cool as hell. If you only had more time to add some LEDs on a switch that came on when you opened the doors on those appliances, that would be spot on. Either way its looking good man. But with time running thin you had better hurry bro.

 

[17dean]

Word is born! I'm in forward motion !!!!! As they say on the islands! Here are just a few of the progress pictures from yesterday. In the lab and doing other things but Washroom Fab and Garage has the majority of my attention for the next few days! Any how , some pictures:

Drive lines installed!

The both of them done now!

Kinda blurry sign picture!:roll:

damn...Still kinda blurry.
All suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. From my view , I will make the deadline time as of now for sure! Once again , thanks again for peeping out Washroom Fab and Garage Shop! More maybe later!"thumbsup"
