Ian 2,417 #9 Posted March 26, 2014 I think it turned out more than "ok", a fantastic job Sir Out of interest, do you stand in the bed to steer it or use it backwards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fife Plooman 632 #10 Posted March 26, 2014 Ian you can sit on it and drive ,turn the handles and and looks as if you are pushing but it is under power as mine is driven with a Titan with reverse gear you have lots of options these are photos of me sitting and driving the truck I hope you like This is at a working day at Scone Perthsire 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
