Ben Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think I forgot to post this here. I recently finished this built. Kit is straight out of the box other that the real polished aluminum fuel tanks, polished aluminum stack upper pipes and a Detail Master gauge set on the dash. The main chassis (other than the wheels, fuel tanks and stacks) and the engine were built back in the mid eighties. At that time, I did not know that IH painted their engines red. I had custom mixed the Alpine green, thinking that was the color it was supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Isbister Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Super detailed! This is definitely one of the nicest cab over builds out there. All you need now is a matching trailer to put it over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
