DRIPTROIT 71

Incredible craftsmanship!!!

Glad to see you back on the workbench!! Looking good so far!!

I've been waiting to see this one finished. Glad to see it done. It was worth the wait. Very nice Build! I picked up a 4070B last week, and this one makes me want to get started on it. Again, Excellent Work!!!

Well as I had mentioned before, I haven't had much workbench time, but here is an update. Transmission cooler with fan (pictured left) made, deep core radiator with pusher fan (pictured right) made. Interior 85% complete. Started some paint work. I should have waited, but I try to get as much done as I can when I can. You can get an idea of the paint scheme. The tape removed some white on the other side of the bed, so it is going to be a re-do at least on that side. Still a long way to go. Thanks to everyone who has commented!!

This thing is incredible!! Very nice work!! It looks like the real thing!! The paint is Awesome!!!

Very nice build!! I put an engine in one very similar to that one years ago. It was about the same color and everything. I didn't think it was very cool back then though. Nice work!

Talk about corporate down sizing, a 12v-71 to a 6-71N with an automatic, no wonder it slung a rod.

Very nice build!! I'm partial to the old workhorses!

The only problem that I can see is that I haven't had a chance to build one yet! If I ever do, I hope mine can look this good!! Great Work!!

Very nice work!! I like the color combo!!

I was not familiar with the 4090 until this post. But I have done some research since. Is it true that they only made 62 of them? Where did you get the cab? Are they still available? Very Cool!!

Very nice KW!! Nice detail on the interior too!!

Sounds like a cool project!

I like what you have come up with! Nice Work!!

Very Cool project indeed!!! And yes, if it has a Detroit in it, it has got to be cool! I'm partial to cabovers as well. Very nice work!!

Welcome to the Forum!! You do some great work!! My kind of builds!

I like this one best! The power choice was excellent!! Very nice work!!

This thing is really coming together! Awesome work!!

Looks great!!! I could almost smell the interior when I looked in the window. Nice weathering as well!

Very nice on the details!! You're not missing a thing!

Excellent work! Looking forward to seeing this one done!

Nice! Definitely not cramped when it comes to sleeping in this one!

Now that's cool!

Nice pictures! Haven't seen you post in a while, good to see you back!

This one is my favorite of the three. Nice work on the body work. I've seen plenty of stacks like that, but right off I can't remember seeing an intake set up like that on a Freightliner. Very Nice Indeed!!!
