Mopar - D Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 Finished up the mud flaps and still getting them straighten and worked on the air cleaner.
Mopar - D Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 Working on the exhaust piping I found the air tanks I mounted interfered with the pipes so I have relocated them. Here's a mock up to check clearance.
10thumbs Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 "Old brute", that phrase fits it, a real tough looking build here, I really like this.
Mopar - D Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 Michael I agree it's a "Old Brute" for sure thanks for your comment.
gatorincebu Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Looking good Dan ! I am liking what I see here. Be Well Gator
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Looking Great!! This is going to be one sharp dump truck!
Mopar - D Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Worked on fitting all the glass in was able to use the glass from the Mack kit for the back and side windows. For the front Windshield I used a paper template ( only 3 try's) to get it to fit good. I also scratch built supports for the stacks.
Mopar - D Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Broke out the air brush today and some yellow. Next will be black on the fenders
jacobus Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 looks goodcomes out nice , i like this yellow fits very good on this brockwayjacobus
Tesla Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 This is looking real nice! You picked a great choice of colors.
gatorincebu Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 This is looking real nice! You picked a great choice of colors. X's 2 i agree with Dennis. I also think that painting the fenders black is the way to go . Be Well Gator
Canso65 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I really like the way your mud flaps have turned out Dan.I am with the others on the colors. Looks very cool!Rob
Mopar - D Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks for all the comments I appreachate them.
10thumbs Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Hi Dan, those wheels really look even better now that you have color on the cab, they just compliment each other. Classy looking dumper, just the way a Brockway ought to look.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 This is really my kind of truck! My only complaint is that I don't have one to build (L.O.L.). I've always been a fan of the Brockways. They were built for work! You are sure doing a great job on this one! I really like the yellow!!!
Mopar - D Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks Michael I'm going to go with a chrome radiator grill and the white insert in front. Thanks GinoBrian thanks that's what I'm going for with this build
Mopar - D Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks for the continued comments guys I do appreciate them Even with all the rain we have been getting here in Houston I've been able to get some more painting done. I used BMF on the radiator grill and chrome powder on the rest. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the fuel tanks yet either black, chrome or aluminum
10thumbs Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 OoooKaaay. Guys, we have a cool looking dump truck here.Dan, my truck knowledge is lacking, when I read black fenders I thought, "oh now, how could you"?Now I see it and this rig is really classy in my opinion. Great color choices. I like.
cowboy rich Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I think that's looking great Dan I'm gonna have to try that chrome powder, for the tanks I like the thought of black I think it would look the best
Mopar - D Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks Michael Rich thanks I like the chrome powder and have ordered there steel and gray powders. The cab came with the metal grill that will look like this when I get to where I'm ready glue it in.
