Thanks! I haven't tried the spray yet, but heard it looks good 

[Mopar - D]

I used it on my current Nova build to do the bumpers. It’s easy to use and looks good.

Wow Jeff, that paint is looking sssoooo good, well done.

Thanks, I'll have to grab a bottle next time I order. There's definitely times when a rattle can is a better tool

Thanks, it almost glows in the dark lol

Temps have been barely above 0 in Central NY, and keeping the heat downstairs instead of my upstairs work bench has been priority w the boss...I'll have an update very soon

Hood looks nice Jeff.

Small update today, couple parts I needed to build. Battery box and a couple diamond plate cab extensions to hide the peek thru underneath. Lastly the exhaust pipe w kit muffler

Fired up the booth, airbrush and Alclad Airframe aluminum, and sprayed everything. I'm really starting to like this Alclad

here's the other part of the exhaust painted Testors stainless steel

Well..the rivalry is getting close to starting..more later

Hi Jeff,   Wonderful build you have going on!!!  Your battery box finished with Alclad looks great.

Sorry for not updating the build, we've been making room for a saltwater aquarium and I've been buried building the stand. The only spot available was where my display cabinet resided..so everything was packed up.. I'll be back asap with more

After wayyyy too much slacking off, I started puttering w this build again! I ordered Whalen lights all around from ebay seller mbc 320, which are beautiful. Since there's no interior, I blacked out the windows w some black colored card stock from packaging. Hoping to swing by the FD this week for photos to have the decals printed. I need some fender flares too, probably ordered from Ranger detail tech. 

[Gary Chastain]

Looks really good, glad to see it getting some attention 

[Mopar - D]

Nice restart Jeff. I know about the slacking off I’ve been in a slump now for awhile as well..

Really cool to see this back in rotation, Jeff - great build going on here!

Thanks Gary, now to keep the pedal down and get serious. There's an ALF ariel truck right behind this...

[Firebuilder]

Jeff , nice work on the chevrons and lights.  Overall truck looks great!

[Rockford]

Unique, interesting and very well executed. Excellent build. 

[Jürgen M.]

Looks really nice! Precise and clean work. You don't see many rescue vehicles here. 

Cool build!
