Churchy's Volvo

[roadtrain]

Hi Guys and Girls,

IT'S FINISHED....WOOHOO..

Excited??? you betch ya...
I started this build back in 2007, (early 2007), its a replica of my mates (Churchy) truck he rebuilt and used to make his living with...
it has a Jaymar resin cab (horrible thing to work with the resin is sooooooo brittle and the quality of the moulding is less that ...well its BAD) i scratch built the bonnet and quarter guards, the tipper, hoist, fuel tanks, battery box, air tanks, the cab floor and firewall , the interior, dash, etc and heaps heaps more, the chassis and wheels are from the spares box, the front and rear suspension are from Auslowe, the engine is from the ertl kit supplied by another modeller from another forum, Thanks Brad.

well it finished and i'm really proud of it, i showed it at Tumut, at the NSW NNL llast weekend and it was well received.

please when you have a look at the photos take a few minutes to think about guys like Churchy, who take an old truck rebuild it , and use it to make a living ....

Thanks
Al
