Monster Truck
Lay out all the pieces on to the stock thickness indicated on the pattern.
Glue and clamp the two center sections. Make sure the drivers seat os on
the correct side.
After the center section is dry assemble and install the dashboard.
Glue on the left and righ side of the truck. You will need two 3.75 inch long
pieces of 1/4 diameter dowel for the axels. When you glue the sides on
the truck use the axels to help line the pieces up. You want the axels to
spin smoothly. After the glue dires install the running boards. Make sure
they do not interfere with the wheels.
Drill the 1/4 diameter holes for the smoke stacks. The smoke stacks are
2.25 inches long and sand tapered on the top.
Now is the time to sand everything smooth before you start install the
bumpers, smoke stack and wheels. After sanding install the trim.
We are going to make our own monster truck wheels. Cut all four wheels
but do not remove the pattern when you finish cutting. Drill the 1/4
diameter axel hole in each wheel.
The tick marks around the perimeter of the wheels are registration marks
for the tread.
If you have a band saw it will work best. If not you can use you scroll saw
with the largest blade you have. Tilt the table of the band saw 15 degrees.
Push the wheel straight into the band saw blade to the depth of the tick
mark. Do this for each tick mark around the wheel.
These two pictures show the end results of cutting every tick mark at a 15
degree angle. Monster treads.
Sand the wheels well and glue one of the axels into a wheel. Insert the axel
through the hubs on the truck and glue the other wheel on. Be careful not to
glue the wheels to the hubs. You want them to spin freely.
