1950's era White Freightliner model build. 1/14 RC semi truck model. (part 20)

I get to put on the rusty exhaust pipe and chrome front bumper. A couple of fun tasks that really round off the look of the truck.

Absolutely beautiful rig. A scrap metal company truck so well crafted from scrap -- legend status again confirmed.

[@OldIronRC]

Thank you very much! I really like the recycling aspect of the build. I don't think I would enjoy it as much if I used fresh steel sheet.

[@robertrosson1990]

Looking pretty awesome.

[@OldIronRC]

Thank you Robert! Almost done, getting close to the dreaded electrics soon.

[@carloshnunez]

Looking great

[@OldIronRC]

Thank you! Cheers!

Love it, solid truck. 🥇

[@OldIronRC]

Thank you mate.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

I think I like this more than FATBETTY. turning out really good.

[@OldIronRC]

It is turning out pretty cool. I think the scale proportions are more accurate.

[@ronringel9132]

Looking Good. Nice job. Happy new Year!!

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks mate, you too Ron!

Dude! This isn't R/C.
This belongs in an art museum.
Made from a junk toaster.....
Toasters and bike spokes, just shaken my head again.
I am going to hate this one being done. I have really enjoyed this one. My Dad had cab overs. Not 50's. I learned on a early 80's Freight Liner and my assigned ride was a pretty old International cab over.
Don't drive for your Dad. Got a job in aerospace.

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks Mike! It is amazing what can be used from old scrap. I'm gonna miss building this one too. but there is always another project to be started. I wouldn't work for my Dad. No way.

[@razycabrones]

Love it adds to the realism the fact that’s a lil loose

[@OldIronRC]

Hopefully it will rattle a bit when on the move too. That'd be cool.

[@vickywenk1518]

Cool

[@Del350K4]

Either you´re some sort of uber-skilled wizard or I misunderstood what you planned to do - I was expecting to see a join in or near the middle of the bumper, but it looks to me like a single smooth expanse of glorious shiny metal, as though you´d simply shortened it and re-bent it in the right places.
Either way, both the stack and the bumper look just right to me.

[@OldIronRC]

It is sliced and joined at one side just pass the mount point. I've since made some number plates to cover the join in the bumper. Making little number plates sure is fiddly work though.

[@rcbulldog8698]

Awesome detail progress today. That bumper looks incredible. Cheers!

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks man. It turned out OK eh? I wasn't sure how the bumper would look, but it looks pretty legit I think.

[@rctrailcats3492]

Amazing from where it started.

[@OldIronRC]

Thank You!

[@raywilson800]

It's looking more like a scrappers truck every time I see it.

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks Ray. It's pretty rough around the edges, so it suits the look pretty well.

[@warriorprincess124]

The wee fans inside the cab turned out great!!

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks! I didn't film making them, it was a bit of a beer time experiment.

[@colinwheeler4166]

Looks awesome.

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks Colin!

[@dannyrichardson6319]

Old Iron your brilliant thought of how you will make parts is amazing. Love to watch these incredible videos you make. You are the man keep up the great job

[@OldIronRC]

Thank you very much Danny. I do enjoy reusing the scrap metal. I think I got a stash of about 4 or 5 toasters now, lol.

[@dannyrichardson6319]

Look forward to next video. Take care my friend
