Old Albion Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Dennis, This looks very impressive indeed. I like the colour scheme it looks just right! Also those front wheels look great. Their position to sit under the cab looks perfect. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
