Felt like my hand was good enough to start work on this again.
Worked all day making jigs so i could make the doors and the back of the cab.
Started out ok but as soon as i tried my new router bit it broke.
A few more pieces done.
Got the floor,firewall,seats,dash,roof and hood trim done.
For the roof and hood trim had to double stick tape the pieces to hardboard to rout the round overs.
Finally i have time to work on these again.
Yesterday i started work on the drop down axle.
Had to make the drop down hinge three times to get it right.
Awesome. Borrow away!! Years ago, I used to use coins for scale but people pointed out that they had no idea what the scale was because they didn't have Canadian currency to compare. Someone suggested a lighter and that blue lighter has been with me ever since. It's seen a lot of projects.
A few more pieces done.
Made the endgate, the tarp rollers with attachment bars and the pieces for the hoist cover.
The small tarp roller is really a pain. The plans call for a 1/8 dowel turned down to 1/16 on the end.
Couldn't do that so did it different.
Had a 3/32 dowel so drilled a 3/32 hole into the end of a 1/8 dowel.
You will never know the difference in 100 years. :vs_laugh:
