hd2500gmc Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Did some painting on the blade this weekend.... Still a little tacky but I managed to get a decal on....... I did add a light bar it is not glued down yet not sure if I like or not but here are some pics...... Comments welcome................... Edited October 11, 2011 by hd2500gmc
mikemodeler Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Almost done and looking great! Just in time for the first snow fall, make sure you have some weight in the back of that truck!
hd2500gmc Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Finished but need to fix the lights I put them on the wrong side.... Still ready for the snow...... Must fix light!!
RodneyBad Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Awesome looking crewcab and Plow... Fantastic work!!!
mikemodeler Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 That is one nice looking truck and that plow looks so real!
bandit1 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 did you use the lightbar from one of the roscoe patrol car kits or the goonie kits if not where did you get the lightbar?
hd2500gmc Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys, Hey bandit1 the light bar came from Chimneyville hobbies, you can also find it in this kit..... Plus another light bar there is two of these, here is the other style....
Foxer Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 That's one great looking truck and all the details! An interesting plow on a pickup ... not sure I've seen any around here pushing to both sides. Does the 1:1 align to push to one side? I expect it would have got some use today in Maine ... had 18" down in the Berkshires and all the plows got their first run for the winter.
hd2500gmc Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 The for the comments... Hey foxer yes the plow does align to plow right or left it also goes into scoop mode to stack snow or v mode to cut into snow bankings..... And I did get some use out of it this past weekend...... But we only got about 10" up here still enough to plow.......
jcvt Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 this is a beautiful build, how did you make that plow? I am workign on a F150 and I would like to build a plow but im not sure where to start, any suggestions?
hd2500gmc Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 Hey Josh thanks, I built the plow out of evergreen plastic..... I own the 1:1 so I just went out side to get the measurements, To start I would find a dealer near you and pick up some brochures.. I started with the blade I cut it to size witch is 8.6FT the to get the right curve I used a wooden dowel and held the piece of plastic on with some rubber bands turned on the stove and held it over the heat till it formed around the dowel.... The frame is just different shapes that I sanded and shaped in till it looked right..... Hope its helps........
jcvt Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 thanks for the info I will give that a try, great idea with the dowel I would have never thought of that but it makes sense.
Chris guthro Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 That is amazing!!! how did you do the hood? i want to make a 2500hd too! is there anyone casting these hoods?
hd2500gmc Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for the comments..... Hey Chris the hood came from the chevy kit with the wave runner.......
