Stance is right on and all the details are very sharp! What did you use to paint the lettering on the tires both paint wise and applicator wise?

Man you are killin' this thing! What great work this is! Can't wait to see this in paint.

Dang Jeremy! I do like these kinds of builds. All of your updates are looking great. I've got one of these in the stash and I built one as a kid and its funny now that I see it mentioned here but I never knew the actual color of the GL. Will be watching pal.

Man!!! Talk about an assembly line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!

I'm a BIG Fox Body fan. Will be watching.

THAT....................is one SHARP truck man! Hats off to you.

Good LORD!!!! Man that's a lot of work!! Lookin' good.

'Preciate that Cliff!

Now THAT.......................would be cool! Let me know when you have a thread on that one cuz I'm there!!!! Thanks BTW.

Different color for a Harley truck but it looks great. Nice shine on it too.

Good looking truck Anthony. The wheels look like they came from the LX Mustang kit but I don't recognize the tires. Where'd you get those from?

Lookin' good. I like the stance and the paint.

Good lookin' truck there Cliff.

Paint looks great as does the wheels and stance Mike!! Good work buddy!

Looking forward to this.................

Nice work on that FL Ray!

That.................is a PERFECT reference for the headlamp problem. I dunno what I'm going to do if anything about that just yet. I've already got one project on my bench that I'm doing surgery on and I really don't want to add a second "patient" to the mix. lol. So far everything else is going fairly smooth. I did find that when I fitted the cab onto the chassis that the bottom of the interior tub was hitting the air intake for the engine at the top of the radiator. I had to sand a little from the bottom of the tub and at the air intake assembly but it all fits good now. Front tires are right where I wanted 'em so I glued those in place as well. The front bumper is low enough to allow the cab to tilt forward with no fit interference issues. So far, aside from ALOT of cleanup and the headlamps that are too high issue this kit is turning out to be a good one.

Good grief!!!!!!!!! And that one's going............going............going...........................and that baby's gone. Right out of the park folks. Impressive. VERY impressive.

This is definitely da bomb!! Wow man!!

Man! This is great!!! It reminds me of what folks would do to a truck back home when I was a kid. A brown paper grocery bag in the front seat with a some groceries sticking out of the bag would add quite a bit of humor to it.

Something else of notable mention. I was gonna ask what the deal was or if I was missing any parts but I had the other kit to refer to and my question was answered. The drivers side of the cab at the door area seemed to have a part missing at first but the more I looked at it, the more it didn't look right. So I dug out the actual build kit and compared and whaddaya know................it was a blem cab. No trouble with this one: As Merle Haggard says....................Movin' On.............

Thanks Brian. Okeedokee everybody. It's time for the cab updates. This is probably the most dreaded part of this build if building a sleeper cab. The day cab is a breeze in comparison. First off there is a nasty seam to fill between the passenger and sleeper half of it. This is after assembly and I cleaned this up as best I could. Gonna be a lot of work right here. Secondly, I've heard just as many horror stories in regards to interior fit into the cab. I shaded the areas in with a black sharpie that needed trimmed up for the interior to slide nicely inside: The sides needed a lot of work Then the rear of the interior and cab gave me some fit issues particularly in the area where both of the cab rest blocks are located. So a little sanding was done on the interior tub: and some on the rest blocks: Then the front of the cab had its issues with the interior tub and the front lower corners of the cab that had a little "slag" causing a fit problem. So I sanded a little off of the corners of the tub and the steering column since it protruded outside of the interior at the base of the column. (the black dot on the passengers floorboard is just an ejector pin mark that I'll have to take care of.) Here's the area of the cab that needed shaved in the front lower corners: So far so good with the overall fit. A little tweaking to do but it's no big deal:

Lookin' forward to this Bill. Did you enter anything at NNL? Inquiring minds wanna know..............................................

Man that's looking good Dan. BTW.....I won't be going to the show this weekend but have made alternate plans to make the HAMS show in July. Money and priorities this time around.

All the weathering and details looks fantastic Bill.
