Fuel tanks look great, Gary - you've really got that Revell Chrome working well for you!

Kinda, trying not to get finger prints on them is near impossible, gotta couple small smudges.

I made some chrome bases for these yellow lights (that come in almost every kit). Used my hole punch to make these washers, I think they work, two for the truck, two for the trailer.

Looks good, Gary - what particular kit did you take these roto lights from?

These come in a ton of kits as generic lighting, I have collected a bunch over the years. I am getting better at organizing left over parts and putting them in organized containers.

In keeping with the mild custom vision, this how my grill will look. I used a screen material with just a bit more bling. I need to detail the Kenworth badge on grill surround but it has very little detail in the plastic, hoping to find a decal to work with. I have done this type of grill work on many builds and it works well and not so fragile.

I am using this tool to punch out those washers, when the punch punches out the washer, the bottom side has a real nice radius, but a slight dimple, which I flat sand smooth, also a quick flat sanding of the bottom just for glueing purpose.

I feel your pain on the grille situation, very frustrating. Good fix though. Truck looks great as a whole, a real head turner.
