DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Posted November 27, 2016 Great looking build's so far. Looking forward to see more work done on them. Thanks Gordon! Brian, Nice work on fabricating the new rear cab wall. It looks pretty dang good from where I sit. Be Well Gator Thanks Gator!! I opened up the windshields. They were a little too sort. Of course I've also came to realize even more that nothing is square on this cab either. I also added front access panel.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Posted December 3, 2016 I like this one Brian! Thanks Vic!! I added some paint. The decals are not 100% accurate, but neither is the truck. They were also defective in that the white underlay was not centered leaving it sticking out on one side. I left them that way though since they weren't completely accurate anyway. It almost gives a three dimensional look. IMG_1832 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_1833 by Brian Smith, on Flickr
