The old "W" was such a cool basic work horse,nice job on keeping it that way....looks good!!

What did you use for glass? looks great.

[Jim B]

Looks really nice. I like your fifth wheel detail.

May I make a quick suggestion? Take some 3/16" (5mm) aluminum tubing and replace to solid piece of plastic rod that that AMT gives you for the exhaust stack. It'll realy improve the look. Doing it on this one might require some disassembly, so better to try it on the next one. Just a thought.

Your right about the AMT stack,I done this before without disassembly on a truck I finished and did this as an after thought, I just snipped the stack down a little and slid the tubbing over it which also helped to support it.

Nice truck!

Jacobus, I'm not sure what you have in Holland, but you can check with K&S Metals; they sell a lot of tubing to the modeling industry. Also, it you want a really chrome stack (probably not on this build) check in electronics stores for collapasable antennas for radios.
