This should look really nice.  I'd go with the 5-hole wheels.  As for colors, maybe blue & white.

   Jacobus,

           The mock up with the 5 hole wheels and the headache rack look good.  I would go with that.

  The candy wrapper on the seats work. I like the effect.

 

 

   Be Well

nice work jacobus !

[Tesla]

The seats look so realistic! Thanks for the tip.

[leafsprings]

The aitm 351 conversion is a great choice, very happy with mine, its a shame AMT didn't offer it as a optional front end back in the day. A top view of the classic square door Pete cab shows it's triangular, the narrow nose 351 hood follows the triangular pattern.
