Agrium Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 I've filled the underneath of the chassis. (I Don't use the lower half of the Siku chassis) Left room for the MTX axle. Roughly fitted the TLS system. It'll do for now anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 it will take a bit of work ian to get mudgaurds to the right shape. but knowing your work it will be perfect. this is going to be a lovely looking machine. Its getting there now. Ive sliced the 6920 back to the small ridge just before the cab. At that point it is very similar to a 6910 (how many people now go and look at their 6920??? Metal cement now semi-set. File it in the morning and then onto the black extensions Rear cab posts have been filed down and large square cab posts ready to be put into place. Enought for today, im off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 started by slicing off the old mudguards and attaching plasticard extension, first piece is flat, then tapers out and down. waiting for glue to dry then fill it all in underneath with filler, make it stronger and neater before smoothing edges and joins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
