An old friend of the family used to build big rigs. She did excellent work and was still building into her early 60's. When she passed from cancer, her husband wanted to know if I wanted her models. I was very honored. I have about 8 original built ups from the '70s that need to be restored. This one she did not get finished. She had the chassis assembled, and part of the interior done. I finished the interior, and painted it. Adding custom lettering and a matching trailer.
