No worries John, good to see you made a start, i didn't think you'd get going so quick with it :)

i actualy striped the two chassis last sunday  after we got back from the run and did a bit more yesterday paul but it will probably take me a few weeks though:)

Looking good so far, having a 1:1 scale version should make life easy/easier too

What Imber should have made in the first place, methinks.

Thanks paul yes it does make it easier when i can just get the tape measure against the real one to check things.

Yes have to agree paul think imber should probably have started with the 6 cylinders first

Looking forward to seeing this progress. In terms off the chassis.. Could a UH 7810 chassis be used and top it off with Imber cab and extended bonnet.?

cheers justin, possably could have used a 7810 chassis i do have one but i just thought the cab and bonnet would fit back on nicely rather than having to make them fit also i wanted every thing to look right were a 7810 chassis and engine would be wrong, i know people tend to go with a uh valtra but i thought id try and extend a imber 6640

Bit more done today. try'd to find best trye/wheel options gone with the rear wheels and tryres of a uh valtra c and the original front wheels of the imber 40 with the tyres of the valtra only thing is the tyres look a bit plastic. I had to make the diameter of the front wheel a bit bigger to fit the tyre. Ive raised the cab slightly to fit the bigger wheels and started to extend the bonnet
