Delivery truck More about wheels and the roof

Wanted to play with my other set a wheels but ran out of 1 1/2" wheels for centers so lets try some 2" for a change up.
Here's the wheels I ebanized.
Image

And here's the new set of tires I can't beleave I didn't take any pictures of the new wheels being put together.
I meant to add lug nuts but got busy gluing up and didn't notice till it was to late. GRRRRR!!!

Note to self drill the spoke holes one size bigger next time,will have a tad better reveal.
It took all day to figure out what I wanted, and once I've committed to some thing it never fails that I see something that would have been better. [next time]
Image

Looks like the new tires will match the truck better.
Image


Image


Ebanized the new set.
Image

Danish oil on the tires made yesterday.

Image

Shot with out the flash for a more natural look see.
Image


Fixed the fenders and glued on the roof.
Image


Image

Think I got enough strips on this build?
Image

Wow oh WOW!

Sometimes bigger is not better (I can't believe I said that… lucky it was written). Personally I like the subtle smaller reveal. Either way the wheels still look great (even with tIres).

Delivery truck Back Deck and more wheel pictures

I really need to change the name of this post now that I figured out what it's going to be.
It's a flat bed wrecker that I will be used to display the Sprint car on.
I came up with the idea to make my models work with one another like this truck carrying the sprint car.
My lowboy carry's the Bull Dozer and Bob Cat.

The Sprint car is out of scale with the truck but that's not a problem with me.

Delivery Truck---Race Car Hauler All most there

Well it's starting to come together and look like something.
Got the runners, hydraulics,gas tank,tool box and axles all put into place.
Quite a few pictures trying to help you get a picture of what was done.This is a oak and walnut project.
For those of you just checking it out this is a Toys And Joys plan with a few small changes and then a scratch built hauler bed for my Sprint car.
Sorry for the bad pictures.

The hydraulic are from a left over one from another build the same with the bracket.
As much trouble as it is to make hydraulics at least for me it pays to make extra parts since the tools are already set up so why not make extras.
