Flame Broiled, You are right. That will be crazy. Do you have any other views?Isn't that the truth, ONLY time and money. I am thinking lots of both. Keep up the great work.

Its based on a toy truck, I have the chassis and driveline already, just need to scan the toy and make a 3D buck.

The Bookmobile was based on a COE or Cab Over Engine, they took a 2 1/2 ton flat deck and cut most of the cab off, leaving the firewall and dash.
And then built the body around the firewall.

I'm building it MY WAY!!! sort of.....

This is so cool. If it comes out anywhere close to the rendering its gonna be a show stopper for sure. Love it.

WJK54 · 12-14-2015, 02:14 PM

51 Bookmobile Dec. 2015 is it done........

lv2tri2 · 12-14-2015, 02:23 PM

Very interested to watch this build. Nice work.

Flame Broiled · 12-15-2015, 11:16 AM

Unfortunately this big girl was put on hold for the past while. It seems my personal projects always get pushed out of the way..... Too many customer cars to build. I guess that is a good thing.

The Bookmobile is not forgotten! I would really like to drive it back into the main shop soon and put some time into her. Thanks for following along.
