Well it is finally finished except for window cranks and they're on the way.

I want to say thank you to everyone that was an encouragement along the way. It is not perfect, but it is done! Here's a custom Mack my way:

Great job Brian! i think it came out awesome....im a sucker for steel wheels though lol

Thanks Sam!! You've been an encouragement during this entire build!! I'm a sucker for steel wheels too. Of course, I almost put spokes on it all the way around speaking of steel wheels.

Very nice job Brian. The front bumper looks to thin. I have followed your build as it went along what a wonder build.

It looks like it would be real nice to cruse around in. Love the detail. Well done.

Thanks Ken!! That means a lot coming from a great builder such as yourself. Your interior work inspired me. The bumper is too thin. My thicker bumper interfered with the cab tilting and I couldn't make a brake on the thinner one that I was satisfied with. I may or may not change it later.

Thanks again to everyone!!

Wow, I didnt realize this was under glass already. Brian, what a superb build man. This truck is flawless. The body work on the cab, and that black paint look like glass. There are so many things that set it apart. The stacks, the dual Farrs, the wood deck, the sunvisor,are just a few of my favorite details. I wish this was a real rig! Excellent, super, amazing work man. I would put this truck in front of a spread axle flatbed, or a black and green 53' van. I know its going in a display case, and you probably dont have room for all of that, but it would look great.

Thanks Terry!! You have been an encouragement during this entire build! Not to mention your inspiring builds! It definitely has flaws though. I was thinking that a flatbed may need to be in its future though.

Congratulations Driptroit,you should take a bow on this one,it looks great,you,re hard work has really paid off.

Thanks Andrew! I always enjoy your builds here and over on Hank's.

Thanks for the encouraging words Dan

I liked matching the engine color to the trim. Looks sharp!

Thanks Kevin! It was different than my normal builds, but it almost makes me want to build another custom.
