Can't beat a beer or three to steady the nerves. Good to here that you think you've cracked it.

Beer goggles can help put a new perspective on things, not to touch though :smiling:

Its not a problem Doug I just get confused easily :smiling:

Well actually....
I have moved the posts to Chris's combine thread. Where they belong.

I am glad that you are now back in the fight and have not given up. Be aware that there will be a gap at the bottom of the main cab and the lower front, the part that is fixed to the chassis rails. The front bit is fixed but the cab is on spring mounts to give a better ride, so needs a bit of wiggle room.

Thanks for that Ian, I have enough trouble with the gaps that shouldn't be there at the moment so knowing in advance that there's one that should be there is one less headache.

Looking good Mick, great that a pub visit can keep the mojo going :thumb2:

Mick, if the cab still leans, put a fat bloke in the seat reading a newspaper and a baco butty on the dash.
I share your pain with how an easy job can ruin a day totally.

It's just getting it squared up now, the attachments points on the front windscreen pillars where the doors attach are so thin when I could really do with something a little more substantial. Back at it Monday when I finish early shifts

I'm another one that is glad you didn't bin this kit Mick. A few cold ones always give you a different outlook on the whole situation Buddy! I am curious about one thing though....This new modeling technique you used,

I just sat and looked at it Jim, and decided tomorrow is another day and slept on it

Very intriguing and we all want to know how it works. Did you put it under your pillow or under the mattress to straighten it out??? It seems to have worked!!!...

Hi Mick

Sorry, not had a chance to look at this until now.

Two things from my side......

Firstly well done what you've scheduled so far. It looks very good considering the problems you've had work out battling you the whole way. Well done indeed.

Remind me NEVER to but an Italian truck kit.....

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Andrew and to think I have another lined up to convert to right hand drive.

Well the roof is on, far from perfect and I may have to slightly alter the brackets for the wind deflector on one side but that’s easy enough. Then some complete numb skull put a drop of CA on the corner of the passenger side window, yep guilty as charged. I’ve been told that acetone is good to remove it but that’s for tomorrow now.

[scottie3158]

Mick,
Looking good hope you get rid of the CA.
