FW Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thought I'd post up some pictures just to show how I was getting on for the people who have helped me with this project... (Old Ford especially) I know it's nthing new but here is my version so far. I decided to build it on a Siku rather than a UH in the end as I think they look slightly more 'chunky', if you know what I mean. Let me know what you think. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yeah maybe... think your alright left with the JD's though- do you not get tired of doing them? :D Sometimes I do. You have to change models now and again to break the monotony or you start making mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 looking good so far mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Right, got a lot more done today and is starting to take shape.... firstly have grinded down both mudguards. I have also made a new exhaust pipe and painted the air cleaner, fitted mirrors and a beacon, which all now need gluing, however the priority was to make the wheels run smoothly, so bent back the arches slightly, cut down the axle housing and added washers and now runs very smoothly. Here's how she's looking at the moment however I'm about to dismantle it and paint it now that I have the paint. Let me know what you think.
