Restoration and modification of my very first big rig model first assembled back in 1980 when I was 12 years old.... as per the box art... then dismantled and repainted in black... twice.. now its the final and most invasive reconstruction:
- Stock hood modified for right air cleaner with flared fenders for the floatation tires
-Single headlight mod.
-Customized stock bumper
-Steerable Heavy spec front axle with super single rims and flloat tires
-Twin late model air cleaners
-Chrome vent visor
-Stock stacks cut short and finished with stainless foil
-Black painted fuel tanks with foil straps & details & mounted under cab
-Custom Battery boxes mounted under sleeper
-Single bunk walk in sleeper using cut down original
-Custom headache rack
-Mesh platform over rear frame
--Frame has 1.5 inches inserted between rear axles for a Canadian spread appearance
-70 ton fifth wheel and supporting mods
-Upgraded air bag rear suspension
-custom individual full rear fenders
-Black painted body with red painted front fenders, roof cap and sleeper top for a classic scheme
