Sam I Am Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Thanks! I wondered what you used because it is such a fine mesh.

It is Scale Scenics (Division of Circuitron) Aluminum Micro Mesh 652-3500 It looks like it was designed to make chain link fence for model railroads. There is a well stocked model train store close by that I pick up scratch building supplies from.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 This one is finished and Under Glass. Thanks to everyone who commented along the way!

I was able to get a little done on the bed today. What modifications have you done to the dumb bed? I'm currently working on one myself

I'm currently working on one myself First I widened the bed so that t wouldst over my drive tires. I lowered the sides and removed the upper side boards. I made a new tail gate framed with plastic but sheeted with aluminum. I made a new cab guard with roll tarp. I sheeted the sides and inside with aluminum to create the dented effect. I made new outside bed braces. I made a new cylinder. I made a dump extension on the rear.
bigred63 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Wow, what an awesome looking truck! The detail, you painted the dump body with is out of this world. Great job.
