Quadrotrac

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Got some parts today:

Then i started bending the next tube. This one was a bit longer and my shop is just to small. So i build a solution for it:

Works great:

One more finished:

Of course it started raining then...

Wow:Wow1:what a great idea about building an outdoor tubing bender. That stuff ROCKS! Good work Steinez!:wings:

Got three more tubes bend up today:

This is by far the most challenging and time consuming work i`ve ever done in my shop. Not really happy with most of the tubes, but the tubing is way to expensive to do them again...

Thats some complicated hard piping. I think it looks great!

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Thanks.

So i didn`t feel like bending tube today, so i worked on some little things:

First the hourmeter:

And the three switches. Front working lights, rear working lights and amber flashers :

And some pics of the whole unit:

With all the exposed pipe work and working this thing hard, you aught to be staying nice and warm inside the cab!

Looks great as always. Keep it up.

Hope it`s not too bad, otherwise i`ll have to cover them for the summer. Still got the heater for winter time.

Bent up another tube today:

A guy called Woofwagon seems to like your Blazer build and has posted over on the domestic vehicle area Steinez!

Thanks man. Progress is slow on the Quadrotrac cause it's raining all day long and the tubing bender is outside. Also preparing winter season, building stuff for the tempering oven some other stuff like new skis...

 

[karma11]

aahh just busy with other projects and such. well hurry up already!! hehehe (chomping at the bit here) the way you document and the amount of pictures you take is totally awesome. would love to see that kind of detail in other build ups. keep up the awesome work!!

every evening i check this thread to see if you have done something new! i know i have to be patient.

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Thanks.

Progress will be slowed down a good amount. We`re starting to get our stuff going for winter season, building new skis, getting the gear and cabin ready. As soon as snow falls i`ll be out there skiing.

Also got a call today from the school i`m taking my apprenticeship as a car mechanic. The headteacher told me they`d give me a scholarship as a service engineer cause i got the best marks anyone ever had in this school. So, this will slow me down quite a bit too...

Btw., here what i did today. Template for my new powder weapons:

 

[karma11]

Very nice! and Congratulations on the scholarship!! those are always nice to have. well when you have some free time, hehe keep us posted, i know im not the only one that likes watching your build come together!

don't be a stranger to your online family

This has to be the best news I have heard all year Steinez! Does that meen you will have a permanent job at the school? What better way to finance a trip to Canada. Just remember to tell them that yuou need 2 months holiday like me when you start the job. That way that cant say no when you go travelling.

Are we ever going to get any updates Mr Steinez?:Wow1:
