Donor or new project? 

[Rockford]

New project. 

[Gary Chastain]

Those darn squirrels, can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Made a new exhaust stack from ali tube and plastic pipe. Mounted it into the cut out.

Put a kink in the intake and added a socket type joint at the bottom from shrapnel with the elbow to the filter. I've seen this form of mounting the stack on some of the older trucks.

I'm very happy with the overall effect.

Steve, this is looking spot on to your first two, inspiration pics on page 1.  Any plans to add the headache rack in those photos as well?  Would look awesome!

[Gary Chastain]

Impressive modifications

I've had a bit of a fiddle about with what could be a headache rack tbis afternoon. If it turns out you'll see it, if not I might use the several Snap Tite ones I have lying around.

I remember way back, making a headache rack for a logging truck and using some door screen for the grating.  I'm certain you'll make something work!

Nice scratch work there Steve! Very impressive!

[Pete68]

Very well done one the upgrades Steve I’m enjoying this build.

I agree with Jurgen and Gary …..I’d LOVE to see what you would do with a 1/25 scale truck! I still marvel at this being 1/32. Love the updates, Steve.
