Tonight I finished the truck. I added the headlights, the coach lights, crank start handle, hood grab handles, and shift handle. I will take pictures tomorrow and post them in the Under Glass section.

The fuel tank is mounted on the cowl panel. I am not sure what the horizontal black cylinder is for. The engine side of the steering column is in place and connected to the drag link.

The seat cushion and seat back in place. You will notice that the paint finishes on this project look rough and dull. This is intentional. The final coat will be a water-based polyurethane. In my experience, this creates a more antique period look.

Like many other unique features of this vehicle design, the cross braces are used to support the steps, and also to support the front fenders. The wheels are mounted. A lot of details yet to be added. I am still looking for a fake business logo for the side panels.

The vertical golf tee-looking thing is the oil filler tube. The tube is open at the top, but it does have a filter screen to keep larger particles out of the engine.

The driveshaft, exhaust pipe, muffler, tailpipe and bracket. Note the t-bracket that compresses the intake and exhaust pipes to the head.

A preview of the final color. Rough at this point, but I like the color. I'm still looking for an appropriate business logo for the truck. Most likely a lumber company.

Upper radiator hose attached. The hood is used as a locating guide to make sure the radiator is properly set. This also ensures the the hood fits tightly between the cowl and radiator.
