mackinac359 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 You're off to a good start. When you go to install the interior, the sleeper is a tight fit - I like to leave the sleeper floor out, install the main interior, then trim the sleeper tub section to fit. Somewhere along the lines the part "grew" and causes a fit issue. Test fit several times before comitting yourself to the install.

Tim I can vouch for that- test fit, test fit, test fit, when you are building the AMT White Freightliner DD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
