So how did you do the grille, it looks awesome! 

Thanks Everyone!!

The grill is painted aluminum and I added diamond pattern mesh from a model railroad supplier to the back.

Thanks!

I wondered what you used because it is such a fine mesh.

I found the package. 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.

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.

Wow, what an awesome looking truck! The detail, you painted the dump body with is out of this world. Great job.

Thanks Ronnie! There are a few more pictures in an "Under Glass" thread.
