GMC Astro95

finally got some color on the cab.

Coming along nice, love the colors, and that dash…….., gorgeous!

Such a great image seeing it sitting in the workshop with all the tools on the bench. Cab looks great, it's going to look really sharp when it is finished.

thanks Stephen, glad you like it!

I got the windows put in and the interior installed. windshield outlined and the cab skirts painted.

[Bronzekeg]

stripped and painted the front bumper. spent today figuring out where and how much I can lower the cab and still have clearance. what a pain, love the kit though.

[Mopar - D]

Looking great Ken. I like your color choice. How much are you lowering the cab?  

[leafsprings]

Great work as always!   Like the stance. These trucks were so futuristic looking when the came out,  they still look modern today.

Looks great Ken!

thanks Dan, I took about 3/16 off the hinges and cab supports. it was the most I could get with the intake piping I'm using.

thanks Brian.

got the cab lowered and dressed up. pretty much finished now.

Love the look with the single exhaust !   I was never a big fan of the dual exhaust where the stacks are close together behind the cab.

[OldTrucker]

Got the look of a bare bones workhorse fleet truck! Fantastic job!

Like the single exhaust although it seems every truck I drove with a Detroit (other than a 6-71 ) had dual exhaust??? LOL

I love cabovers, almost never drove a hood, only when there was no other choice! Felt like I was on top of the world looking down!LOL

Great job on this one, Ken!

Nice built there man! Loving the copper colour. I'm building the same kit, so I'm looking through old WIP threads for any issues I may run into, haha.
