well cab is basically done. I need to get some magnets for the hood as I decided to make a bracket, and screw the cab to the front bumper.
instead of being glued, and looking like crap like the old one I took all the parts that were scaled in the cad program, and assembled them so there were less parts to print, and assemble. I also modified them to screw together.
Basically the sides, front windows, rear, and roof are all one piece, the front grill is a separate piece, the front fenders are separate, and the hood. The fenders are held on with 5 screws each to make them secure, and the front grill screws into a bracket(4 screws from the front) that connects the 2 sides, and borrows 2 fender screws on each side to make it nice and rigid. The bracket that holds the front grill on I made it to screw into the front bumper mount, and drilled 2 holes in the bumper mount to make it nice and solid.




I made the turn signal bracket that screws to the front fenders they just aren't put on yet
I also have to find the front headlight parts I planned to use, and try to figure out where I put the exhaust pipe that screws on the cab side
The painting is going to have to wait until spring as its now too cold to paint around here.

The vehicle in the bed of it is a 18th scale HPI Mini Recon showing how big this sucker is

Funny how I started it 10 years ago, and basically scrapped the majority of what I did in that time to redo a good chunk in the last 4 months >.>

Things to still do
1 Put the light buckets on the front Fenders. They are made(they were being printed when I took the pictures) which will be done probably tomorrow. There won't be an update pic as that is so minor it isn't worth it IMO.
2.Make some kind of bracket to mount where the tire is screwed int othe back of the cab that runs down to the frame to make the rear of the cabs mounting secure as right now it is not securely on in the back
3 find something to fit in the headlight area so I can pop some LEDs in it.
4 find the smoke stack, and put it on(I have a rough idea where I might have put it)
5 get some magnets to hold the front hood on, and glue them in place.
6. Paint it.
7. laser cut out some windows out of acrylic, and silicone em into place
8 (possibly)install LED kit I've had sitting around for ages that has working brake lights, and turn signals
9.(possibly) make accessories to fill in the large gap like a gas tank, a step, and a piece to slightly cover the spare tire like shown in the original picture I based it on. I would have to figure out how to securely attach it to the cab.
