Did the wheels differently this time by painting them with Krylon. Was after a motor aluminum look rather than chrome, think it will work. Chassis painted, many thing down on paint bench. 

They look great Gary!

[Gary Chastain]

Reworked this grill (cut center out, added the three grill bars) and will add screen in the back, decided to go with aluminum look as well. 

[BK9300]

The aluminum looks really good, Gary.

[Gary Chastain]

Carrying on with the aluminum look, got the battery boxes painted. 

[Gary Chastain]

Stole an idea from Steve, reworked these mud guards, need some finish work them off to paint aluminum.

Amazing how a small change makes a HUGE difference. Those fenders look AWESOME! I love that look.  Makes them look real. I have to save that one. Thanks to you and Steve. Good stuff.

I totally agree. Changes the build a lot and for the better.  Great ideas.  This is the kind of stuff that makes a good build a GREAT build.  So much talent here.

Wow Gary,

I can’t believe how far along you are with this build already. I really like the extra work you’ve done on the 1/4 fenders. I may have to shamelessly copy that although the Transtar’s 1/4 fenders mounted differently. Inspiring work Sir!

Cheers,    
Wolf

Wow those wheels look nice in that Krylon color! Your different metal sheens will really stand out on this build

I agree a gravel trailer would look perfect behind it

Hey Jeff, kind of a different approach for me, less bling. 

[Gary Chastain]

After much time searching for a V12 Detroit with modern turbos that allow for intercooler connections, I have found a picture that gives me an idea of how to plumb them. 

[BK9300]

Wow - that will look awesome!.  Will make a great open hood display.

[Gary Chastain]

Productive day, finished quarter fenders, air canisters are ready for paint, fuel tanks built. Next fuel tank straps, filler necks and caps, then all these pieces off to paint. 

[Pete68]

Always feels good when you have a productive day at the bench. They look good 

[Biggu]

Always so much fun to watch your builds, Gary. Ides I never would come up with and always come together perfectly.  I love this
