we just took our 5 ton 4 door to sonic tonight for ice cream. wasnt sure i was gonna make the turn with that big old long truck, but it went around just fine. and yeah, all the people came running out and wanted to look and take pictures,,,,still didnt get ice cream free :cry:

major part of the build took me about 12 man hours, cosmetic body work about 10 hours. prep and paint complete truck about 6 hours. a slip roll would be nice, i need to make a new muffler for the ferret soon and I am not sure I can find a thin wall tube large enough to make it from, so making...

you got a pair of 78 gallon tanks? my elmo needs some? willing to ship to kansas?

i do believe that trailer is a bit OVERLOADED! I brought my 16's back strapped to the back of my frame rails on my 5 ton, we Used makes m62 wrecker to load them up there, it was a breeze. But unloading them was a bit of a challenge. I finally decided to just roll them off the back of the 5 ton...

i didn't use a brake or a roller, found no use for one actually. i actually built mine in the street next to my house and in my driveway, no forklift, no hoist, just man (boy) power, hammer, torch, lots of cut off wheels, etc.

i will take pics of mine soon and you can see how i braced mine. but too late to do yours like mine.

depending on how much sheet metal you plan on leaving between the two doors on the side you will need a cross brace of some sort to keep the cab from flopping around. I left almost 2 feet between mine. Make sure you brace the floor very good. and let the cab float on the frame or it will flex...

sounds great? I sounds like a pack of pissed off giant bumble bees on crack and have been up for 2 weeks all tweeked out! Its har to describe, no sound like a detroit. It has exhaust exiting the rear in front of the right rear tire, all goes through a muffler. soon it will ahve an unrestricted 5...

Elmo has a 6-71 detroit engine in it. The engine is so long that it wouldnt allow the radiator to be under the hood. So it was put outside the original grill ad that goofy looking grill was added to it. Correcting that is the next project.

i was gonna say yeah, i made one,,,,but not out of a lil duece,,,its a 5 tonner! and its EXTRA long! ELMO= extra long military obsession!

I have actually had a chance to run my ferret around the kansas speedway, got it up to about 55 and took it up on the banking...then right back down!! 55 wasnt fast ehough! felt like it was gonna fall off the track! Anyway it was a BLAST! I have pictures posted somehwer on here of it. I STILL...

get some good pics of the cat. i knida like it, might try to use somethign like that in my camo sceme when i eventually get around to it. along witht the flames on the hood and sides that is.

paint on elmo is as fresh as it gets. i am doing some touch up tonight,,,now thats cutting it close!

exactly what does the cat represent? it would be cool in a camo job. maybe paint the cat in brown and the box in tan. that would look pretty cool.
