ok guys these are just test smaple for me to cut out and mark on the moulds cut lines body holes etc, will have em at worksop if anyone wants a run with one come see me, much more refining to be done but you get the idea,:thumbsup:think i may trim down the height of the cougars roof line yet not sure

Carl, whilst your dropping the roof height, might think about narrowing it a little, so it is more in proportion.... or am I on about Form before Function?

Having made a form for a shell myself I can tell you what bigred has done is very hard and should be commended.

I am not a fan of cab forward shells though. Too much function over form for me.

Nice job red

DCM 24-02-2012 07:14 AM

The actual Cab part.

bigred5765 24-02-2012 12:14 PM

its being done today or Tuesday next week and a full 10mm of the top of the cab that makes the side window the same depth as the cat,to be honest the cougar cab roof line is the same height from the ground as the cat, just the cougar looks higher because of the dip the the side pods
