Great looking build so far, What did you use for the head light lens? They look great

[gino]

looks great dan ! ,     love those exhaust shields with the short pipes !

[Mopar - D]

Gordon. The resin is thick behind the lights so I used a drill bit to create a round concave behind the lense. The lense came from my parts box. No telling what kit they came with. 

Thanks gino.

You're making some nice progress.

Too bad ya can't make some flappers for the tops of the stacks. When I drove for Rehrig Pacific we had flappers.

Randy,  I've been thinking of how or what I can use for some flappers. 

[Old Buckaroo]

Dan do you have a set of punches ? I punched a disk out of .010" styrene and cut another piece for the hinge piece. A thin strip of Tamiya tape made the bracket around the stack.

 

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Sean I'm going to give it a try. The picture helps me a lot.

    Dan,

           you have this project looking really good. But you really need to try to make that flapper  that Sean suggested. This truck is crying out for that little extra touch.

 

 

   Be Well

I added the flappers 

[Old Buckaroo]

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Sean,

I now have a full set of punches that I've needed for some time now.
