Put some small trailer or mini Austin wheels in the wheel wells and take a photo!

Looks really nice. I can't seem to find the time to do anything anymore...

That is the absolute perfect color for that beast.

Getting closer! With a bit of help with some friends we got the cab somewhat back on the chassis. It is sitting on the tilt brackets in the front and blocked up in the rear in the last two photos, as it still will need to be raised up to hook up the electric, hydraulics, heat, A/C, inner cooler, as well as a few other goodies! Hope to be driving it by the end of the month!

Yes this one will be replacing my yellow truck, which I will be selling. I also have another Doka that I am selling. Just too many cars and trucks, and not enough garage and driveway space!

What a beast!

vonsmog 12-08-2017 01:53 PM

Well it runs!!! After a long haul it is almost done!! Still need to fit the rear fenders, tail lights and mirrors, but hey it runs!! You can really feel the turbo when it spools up. Throws you back in the seat! Also I love the new pearl paint, makes it change color in the sun from dark to light brown!

Nice!

That is almost too pretty, will it drag a house off its foundation?

URY914 12-08-2017 02:09 PM

DAMN!:eek:

This one is only rated for 22 tons, if it had the torque converter transmission, it would pull 300 tons! So if the house weighs less than that and is on wheels, it will pull it!

Yellow one is shorter than a full size pickup, about 6.5 feet wide and just under 8' tall
Price is $60k for it. If I were to sell the brown one the price would be close to $200k.

Holy cow, that is sweet! I want one. Not sure what I would do with it but I want one.

Thanks for sharing,

cstreit 12-08-2017 04:54 PM

So cool!

astrochex 12-08-2017 04:57 PM

That looks really cool. Love the proportions and color.

vonsmog 06-25-2018 04:56 AM

Should add another post on this as I have about 1000 miles on it now. Have taken it to a few shows and it is a real crowd pleaser! More photos and selfies are taken of it than just about any other car at cruise nights. Used it a few weeks ago to tow the W123 I picked up with only 50k miles on it to the paint shop.
