..............so not much done the first part of the week with working a few hours each day and freezing my balls off and 2 Dr appointments for the wife and me thrown in ,,,,but today,,,today  the cab became one with the chassis The bed and boom are just sitting there not nailed yet. I got these Auslowe Mack tanks that look pretty close size wise ,,,that will be next and work out the stack on the pass side ......and I'll pull the hood pins and pull that off and do the wiring/air lines and figure out an under hood air cleaner

Your paint job is really shining - reflecting! - in these pics.  Looks great put together, even if some is just sitting in place at the moment!  I may have missed it, but did you clear over your decals (guess I could go back and check!)

I agree - looks great to have the cab set in and lots of your plumbing finished - each time I look it seems like you've added more plumbing along the frame, too.  When do you hope to have the truck on its wheels and tires?

I think within the next few days I should be able to get the wheels on,,,I still have to get the tanks and stack mounted yet

Scott, your engine detailing is getting very intricate - complicated as looking under the hood of the real thing!  Good to see the truck up its rubber, too.
