I like the colors, and the headache rack.  Tell me, where is the material for the grill from?  Thx

Thank you, the grill material is from ST Supply, I bought several scale sheets from him and just look for the pattern that best fits the original grill. I didn’t add the vertical bars in the grill, maybe I should have.

Great heavy hauler there Gary. I especially like the full rear wheel covers. Colour combo looks great. Well done. 

Cheers,

Great build, Gary!   I do agree with you that the vertical bars on the grill would finish it off a bit.  A fine piece of work.  Clean, everything where it should be.  Thanks for posting!

Thanks for following along and appreciate your feedback. Every time I finish a build, I sit back and look thinking I could have done that better or a detail there would be better or……or…..  Guess that is what drives us to build the next one.
