Besides the cab, what about the nose? Would you use the nose from the SD9 shell and cut it down?


Aach, that was a daft question...   :facepalm:  :trollface:
Doing so and you would have number boards and light in the nose....

So, what nose would you use?

Use the SD-9 hood.Slice off the top,cut the sides down to the desired height then glue the top back on.If your lucky enough to get your cuts  square you could even get away with just a little sanding to clean up the joint.

That's exactly the plan for the hood. Slice it off just above middle hinge on the door and just below the weld seam above the door and glue it back together!

Tim Diezmon built one of these years ago and I weathered it:



Dang, that's nice! :o Do I love a good kitbash! To me, this is the most rewarding part of the hobby.
