Front fenders reshaped to match bumper, gives the truck a cleaner look. Few more adjustments, then finish work begins. -

Getting paint on headache rack and sleeper today. Also mocking-up front custom front bumper to trim fenders and build frame mount for bumper. Checking that cab is square to frame and hood alignment and grill are good. -

This will be fun to watch. I see more builders rebuilding old kits. I have never given this much thought, but maybe I need to give it a try. So be stealing some tips from you. -

little progress on this holiday. Got the sleeper modified and assembled, removed fake handles, will be using some PE handles. Need to find some cool cab marker lights. Had to make another bumper, broke the first one, will be mounting driving lights and turn signals in the bumper. -

Quick mock-up of sleep/cab to measure up the headache rack. Will be an enclosed three door , same dims as sleeper (height/width) with light bar across the top and maybe a flashing yellow lights on top. then I can finish cat walk on frame. Got to go back and do the final adjustments to the rear fenders for alignment. -

Brian, it’s a combination of CTM 24166 kit and for the small marker lights, I am using the CTM lights mated to KFS 2000 chrome backers. The little marker lights just happen to fit the KFS marker light backs perfectly. -
