well hello dave..... scott fenwick here. im new to this site and was suprised to see you have taken an idea from my site and used it..... its great! i never actually finished my 740 as i had just started my 'real' plany hire company. im now finding a bit more time and have begun work on a d350d roll on / roll off conversion. hopefully i can share some pics on here if anyone is interested?

hi dave. im not sure about putting the photos on here but i will give it a try soon. i have a cat d350d rollon/rolloff on the bench at the minute along with some assorted bodies i have built for it too,(flatbed, low skip, tall skip, logcarrier etc). as soon as its painted i will attempt to upload some pics for you guys. Im in 2 minds wether to paint it in military olive drab green to match the cat d400d army truck i built or in a total ficticious colour scheme. any suggestions?????
