Deerepower Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 work in progress at the moment, first up a Ford 7810 and then a Doe 5100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Coming along nicely BP The 7810 eh, what a popular model that you dont see many accurate conversions of, usually a re decalled Britains 7710. You could be on to a winner here Mark() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 thanks mate, I thought as I've shortend the chassis before for the 4000 and 4600 I would extend the chassis to a 6 pot engine so they was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Looking good B.P. like to see how it looks like when they are finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Is the extra cyl bit you cut off to make the 3 cyl models the bit you added for these then mate. Waste not want not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Is the extra cyl bit you cut off to make the 3 cyl models the bit you added for these then mate. Waste not want not no mate there's 4 5000/7000's been used to make the 2 models, both been cut so I mated up 2 lots of 3 cyl, plus need to extend the bonnets by using 2 bonnets cut and made into one as well as shaping the 7810 bonnet (I also made the 7810 grill myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ah right, sounds quite involved The end result is well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ah right, sounds quite involved The end result is well worth it it's quite a quick task cutting the chassis's as the bonnets are removed first and the dremel just slices through it quickly all you have to do is remember is if your cutting the front 3 cyl or rear ones , the 7810 bonnet takes a bit more work cutting and shaping it another one I'm doing is the 5000/7000 chassis extended but with an extented 7710 bonnet on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 looking good mate, you want to have a gander at casting those bonnets would save lots of time and money buying two and cutting them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 looking good mate, you want to have a gander at casting those bonnets would save lots of time and money buying two and cutting them up I'm thinking about it, could also cast the bit to extend the engine as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
