Matt,

Looks good!! I like the hood, is it an aftermarket item or have you scratch built it. Reason I ask is I intend to make my own extended hood when I get round to a planned 359 Pete project. But not for some time yet though!! Got a couple of Autocars to finish first.

Keep us posted with progress.

The hood is scratch built; as is the grill shell. I have corrected the sleeper opening as well. I will be casting everything (including the cab) to go right on ITALERI kit # 740. The hood will feature underhood substructure as well; and will have a corrected dash (O/O spec) with 2 larger guages in the middle; and P/E grill. I hope this helps.........matt

Matt,

That certainly does help. Let me know as soon as you have the castings available commercially. I,m interested in a couple.

Many Thanks
