I was board so I thought I would post some pics of my belly dump I threw together one nite , and as a bonus you get a teaser of the W900 I customized , like I said I THREW it together in a couple hours so it oesnt have some of the same detail as others I have built but this one is fully functional , minus suspension, let me know what you think, oh yeah sorry about the pic quality it was inside so the lighting aint so hot I could take better ones if you all want

Hey, didnt know you were on here too!:usa , I finally finished it just a couple days ago , lots of cutting and fitting but it came out good Im happy with it the only thing Im not too happy with is the 5th wheel where the draft arms mount , I still need to get some brass to build a cylinder too Ill have to post some pics of it for ya
Sounds good man, I bet it is great! Keep up the good work.

Heres some pics of my end dump like I said I need to build a cylinder for it but I got the tubing today , I also used cheap paint so its already chipping off , but I have decided that I am going to strip it down and redo alot of things to it , like the rear axles and a few other things but thats ok with me , I guess you could say I was a little lazy when I was building this one , mainly because I couldnt wait to get it done
Looks good man, looks real good. Like I said, you always wanna get it done quick, but done well. I think it looks great. What is the color going to be?

Thanks theres just a few things I over looked while building I want to fix too like the small holes in the sides where the fenders used to be pinned on that I was meaning to fill , I am thinking about black to match the truck maybe white , im not too sure about it though I have been rolling it over and over in my head for a while , I can say it is put together well , just before I painted it the wire that was holding it up broke and it hit the floor , not a single part hurt , I do know that I am not gonna rest until its just the way I like it or it looks like it just came from a dealer

Thanks Guys ,Hummer13 , they are real easy and I am sure with your skill it wont be nothing to knock out , the hardest part is making the bottom gates work and look right

328D LCR , and maybe my 980C still awaiting decals for the D10R and 980C
