I made a roof rack for Nicks Jeep It Came Out Killer!
I went to Big Bear  and helped Jimmy Chisel the Axle nut off of a camry and replace both front axles.

But Much More Excitingly!

I almost have the semi scale semi Peterbilt Day Cab Completely body worked smooth & Ready for Molding! i carved it to fit  up to 9" wheels.


Here is the truck Present Day Being Color Sanded &Preped for Molding it in the Next couple,of weeks.

frame is most all built  here it is with the main frame almost complete needing the Drive side gas tank mount and a few small details done. Steering is hooked up and works sweet! nice and Smooth, i Built a 16 inch 5 position sliding hitch so that i can figure out how much to load the front wheels when all is done and said!  It Worked out Perfect. The Tractor was needing to get some weight off the front wheels a little. it was a little hard to steer under weight so i moved it back 1 position and bam ready to go!



front axle complete and mounted to frame.
it looks good i now need to make a rear kinda power truck set to put under the rear end for the drive train it worked out well there were only 7 pieces used for the entire rear end. Simple Sanitary & Effective!








The 5th wheel plate was a Tough Challenge For Sure! i Wanted it to be as realistic as possible! and man oh man was that a Task! No Room under a 6x4 plate with a huge 7/8" slot up the middle! Whew im Glad it Worked out!
The Jaws were made out of
 3 ~ 5/8" washers. 
Glad i Was Head Fabricator out at Central Valley Trucking for a while!


 This is a Mock up that i was doing to see what direction i wanted to go with the fenders in the rear i figured out that i want to mold them in fiberglass like the body so that it has a more uniform look to and not use metal like in the picture.


 This is the Lowboy in the Middle of being Decked and Plated,
i am paying special attention to the cab because i am going to make a fiberglass mold made for it so i can Copy the semi trucks Body and Fenders when  i get done building and testing !
i have plans on building atleast one of each of MY top 5 favorite trucks
Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, Freightliner

i am bulding them to be daycabs or sleepers, dual rear axles or bobtailed
they are going to be completely Buildable JUST LIKE THE FACTORY!
Different configurations from Cement Trucks to Roll Offs, Cattle & Hay haulers
End dumps and All each one completely built the way you want it!

Anyways the First one will be rideable Soon!

Here's a steel truck by I made and completed 
running and rideble!  These pics are when I had the stacks clamped in place so I could figure out how tall to cut em down to!
