Doing more work on the truck cab. I am using pretty basic methods of metal forming, but it seems to work OK so far. I'm also continuing with the mad idea of painting as I go experiment too, so I don't need to weather it much when I'm done. Good couple of arvos in the shed.

Good to see you getting back on this one. Scratch building a cab from steel is something no-one else is doing! Thanks for sharing the process with us! Looking forward to the next video! Take care my friend! 🙏

Thank you mate. I had a bit of a lull, but I am getting back into the build now, I got the enthusiasm back.

Yup. Getting there, slowly, but surely. Bit of off camera tinkering between video too.

Thank you mate. It turned out OK eh? Roofs are not my favourite thing to make. I usually bugger them up.

Thanks Patrick. It's easy enough to visualize what you want in your head, bit harder to visualize how you will make it though.

I've been chasing my tail just like your puppy waiting for this video, but it was worth the wait. You obviously spend hours thinking about your next step before you actually begin to start cutting and hammering and fitting and welding. You build a model the same way this hot rod builder I new one time built his rods. Everybody else around here would buy a car and then just buy a bunch of aftermarket stuff to build their rod but this guy was in his garage every night hammering out some of the most beautiful and unique street rods I have ever seen. I can't wait to see the next video.l wonder if you could mount the cab on the chassis and then somehow trace the wheel openings from the back of the panel. You have awakened my mind and got me thinking. Cool work man.😎

Thanks for the comment! I do a lot of day dreaming about the build in between workshop time. If I had the money and space I'd probably make 1:1 toys. I got some spare 1/14 truck tires for the Pete cab over build that I can use to trace the wheel arches on the outside of the cab.

The roof fits beautifully! I wonder what´s going on in a dog´s brain while he´s chasing his tail...mind you, if I had a better memory I might know what used to go through my mind while I was chasing tail.
