N14 weekend project

[cdntrucking]

Trying a N14 conversion using an old car modeller article by Ken Smith. It’s a good starting point. Eventually this will go into a T800

Very cool, can you post a link or the article to build this engine? I had not seen this conversion before.

The article isn't quite complete but its a good start. Fotki Dutch Model Truck Club is where I pulled this.

In progress but starting to take shape.

Looks great, thanks for posting the article, got printed

After 2 weekends and some (head) scratching, I’ve come up with this “glider” which will mate to a rear cutoff. Lots to do yet.

Are you using kit frame rails and the front spring setup from what kit?  I have been wanting to do a KW C500 with the heavier (taller) frame. Your setup would work.

Its all scratch built and modified kit parts built from photos. I made the frame rails to match up to a Revell KW frame rear cutoff so approx 10mm (just under) x 3mm - .040 web x .030 rail. AMT frames tend to be a bit deeper and stronger.

Here is some ref materials I used Gary.

Excellent work, thanks for the tips, will print these off and enlarge for reference

Wow nice progress! Doing a glider build look really interesting 

I see I forgot my shocks looking at your frame lol

Moving right along. Looks great!
