Sanded the driver's fender a little. Will put another coat of filler on tomorrow night

Octagonal exhaust stacks, making them from scratch out of styrene

3 layers of tape around some paint pens spaces everything perfectly

Filling the gaps with slivers of 0.5mm styrene (filled between the tape so far)

-Derek

First stack made. 22.5° cut on the band saw, then flipped for the 45° angle

Miter cut tip parallel to the main tube

3 more to go

Decided that I like the curved light bar that was originally on the top of the windshield better than the KC highlights that they just put on the 1:1 truck. But I felt I needed a curved bar, rather than the straight one from axial. So using the lens of the longest bar cut down to fit, I'm making my own.

Using the mount tabs meant for plate bumpers, on the underside of the windshield, then poking through the corners.

Nice. Where are you seeing updates on the 1:1 at?

 

[SuperDrty]

Mainly on Heavy D's Facebook page.

They tore it down and refreshed it. Same color, different tires than before, slight modification of the front bumper, KC highlights in place of the curved light bar, planetaries painted black with the rest of the wheel color matched (I prefer the all color matched I already have), and it may have left SEMA with off the shelf headlights rather than the custom ones it had before and arrived at SEMA with.

Oh wow I just looked. I agree light bar much better.

Yeah, I want to get some of Proline's closed cell foams for them, otherwise some deuces wild CI foams. And I'm not looking forward to pulling the wheels apart to take them off, haha

Finished stack #2. 2 more to go

Better angle of the curved light bar

After the timed runs at Robins Run at the Little Canada Hub, I took the #MEGARAMRUNNER out on the trail.

Proline makes a nice curved light bar. And your doing amazing this build is coming together so nicely great work.

Thanks.

Proline does, but its 6" long, so it's too long for this cab. The one I'm making is only 5.375"

You can't do that. You can't reduce an inch down to .375" you bloody yanks should take up the metric system. Then 0.375 would actually make sense. I swear I'll never get my head around the imperial system. Come to the dark side Derek. Metric is where it's at. [emoji14]

my bad, Proline's is 152.4mm and the one I'm making is 136.525. haha




I use both, I go back and forth, yeah, I know. I like the metric system, but most of the rulers/scales I have are SAE (and for that matter, 99% of what you can buy at local stores are too), I have a few metric ones, and try using those most of the time

This build is awesome. Glad I saw it shared on Facebook or I never would have seen it. Keep up the great work.

After a little trimming to fit them over 2.2 wheels, I'm installing Proline's 1.9 closed cell foams to get rid of those "flat" tires
