All the weathering and details looks fantastic Bill.

Congratulations on a terrific win!!! You had that one comin' man.

Sorry for the late reply. The fuel tanks came molded in white on this one. I may, after cleaning the tanks up on the project build , decide to chrome them using Molotow thru an airbrush or some Alclad.

LOL!!! Yessirree! LOTS of work to do on this one!!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Gonna show off what's under the hood. Vortec 350 or 454?

I'll definitely keep that in mind in regards to the cab rests. Thanks for the heads up Jeff. OMG the clean up.!!!!!!! I'm going to a show this weekend and I've already got a couple of more sets of sanding files on the "to-get" list. lol Thanks for the comments Scott. I have not yet but I've omitted the front brakes and went a step further with the front wheels in regards to position. I'll cover this in a separate photo shoot session when that time comes. I am going with the aluminum tubing for the stacks and I've got a PE set coming for the heat shields (along with a slew of other stuff) Stay tuned..........................I aint done with this by a longshot.

LOL! Well...........among other little tidbits that I'll have about this tricky kit (along with some tricky instructions) is the fact that the cab rests will have to be installed at a later part of the build than what the instructions call for. At least that's what I'm finding. They interfere with the exhaust crossover pipe installation between the two exhaust stacks. They are called out in this photo: For the most part it's going fairly well. This kit has ALOT of seam filling, mold lines and ejector pin marks to contend with. I've marked most everything with a black sharpie so they'll stand out boldly for reference points during the actual build. I'm sooooooo glad I'm taking the time to do the build up because I'm finding some faults with the instruction sheet in terms of where stuff actually goes and I'm hitting the problematic areas with no fear of screwing anything I've painted/ detailed up. Here's where I'm at right now. I may have to cut the crossover pipe in two in order to install it but that's ok. Again.......I'll know about this before hand with the actual build.

'Preciate that Brian. Great to have you on board Carl. Thanks buddy. Thanks Dale. Sorry it was 4 months late. You know what I mean.

Great work with the effects. Those graphics on the side are a true sign of the times.

Yessssssssss! You already know how I feel about this one Dale. Good grief man! Truly impressive work!!!

I had this pulled up on the screen the other day to comment and got distracted. This ride is looking waaaaaaaaaaay cool!! Very cool!

Turned out very well Jonathan.

Man that is a good lookin' build Carl. The wood work is fabulous!!

Good idea and great work on this bad boy. Thumbs up man.

Schuuuweeeeet!!!!! Looks like a million bucks Dan!

Brian and Brenden, I really appreciate both of you guys help.

That paint is a work of art in itself!!!! Beautiful work Eric!!

I remember you putting all of this stuff together. The results were well worth all the hard work.

Perfectly built JC!! Glad you got 'er wrapped up pal.

I remember when this one was in the building stages JC. This thing looks swell! Real top notch work happenin right there!

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!! Good Lord Brenden!!! You......................................are DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!

I've searched high and low........................but not on Google. If that'll help I'll give it a shot. Thanks Clayton.

I've found a ton of reference sites for the exterior of these trucks but I've yet to find a walkaround set of photos or a decent detail book reference for this kit. I know of one truck locally that I'd really like to get some photos of because that truck is beautiful. If anybody knows of a site with walkaround photos that'd be fantastic. Stuff like detailed chassis , interior and engine shots. Till then........................the mock up assembly continues on.................

Thanks Gator!!

At this point we're still going Dan. Dude I hope everything is going well with you brother.
