Trying to do my own truck pattern

[Allen levine]

I'm not sure if I can post this so if it's breaking rules I'm not offended if it's deleted

the reason I say this is I was going to make another Steve good monster truck I blew up the wheel pattern 150 percent and decided to just make my own design

not

sure

of it will work but I'll give it a shot

 

i never designed anything except tables or cabinets so this is a stretch for me

good thing if it fails it's not a large amount of wood

im using the wheels I already cut but making my own pattern so this is where I'm  not sure 

the wheels are goods patterns I hade them made

i laid them out on grid paper and when I start cutting parts I'll mark off which lines I need to follow for each part

i plan on making the cab 3 sections approx 4 inches wide with 2 side sections

all accessories like roof rack spare tire fog lights etc will be measured an cut after I get initial body done so I don't waste a lot of time cutting them if I'm  it happy with the results

just finished pattern and made a bunch of copies

I saw a bunch of these suv type beach buggies on the beaches in florida

like broncos or jeeps all hyped up with over sized wheels so that's what I'm going for

Ok this one is a mystery to me

my buddies complained I need a shop dog so I made one months ago

@Allen levine Hey Allen, great answer to your buddies, I bet that got a lot of laughs.  

If I were you, I would take FIFO out and teach him some manners. 

Thanks for sharing.

I got this far today

this weekend is gone as I'm picking up the 4 year old little monster and he expects his old crippled grandpa to give him uninterrupted attention morning noon and night 

I made it a four seater with space in between seats I'll put a shift stick in when I do the dash board and ateeeing wheel and some dials

it will get a roof rack some fog lights light guards and whatever else I can make 

nothing is glued or sanded and I tried to hold it together with tape for a pic 

outer panels are sapele 3/8 th inch outside body parts are Spanish cedar 1 and 1/4 and inside body part is poplar 1 inch

used a Flying Dutchman psr 9 blade for body parts and psr 7 for sapele panels 

the 7 blade was a bit aggressive maybe could have went down to a 3 but I'm learning 

have a look

Inside without body panels

i was already told the wheel supports grain orientation might make them suseptable to snapping off, but this one is going on a shelf in my office, noone, not even the monster boy coming over tomorrow gets to touch it. so it should be safe when its done

That truck is looking pretty good!

[Allen levine]

I can't work on it this weekend got the little one but he can't seem to keep up with his grandpa 

I have to remake the wheels they are too thin for the look I want

@Allen levine  Great progress on the truck Allen, please keep the pictures coming.

Looks like the little guy is storing up some strength for PLAYTIME.
