This is going to be sweet once done. Paint looks really sharp! How did you do the dash gauges?

Bending wire for the step/handrail should not be too terribly hard with a little jig. So I arrogantly say never having done this style myself....LOL

Still have a few more details to work out, but it is getting closer to finished!

I did the dash by painting the whole thing black, then painting the "wood" areas brown. I drybrushed some black on the wood grain to get a better wood look, then I used a silver sharpie to highlight each gauge. It took a while, but I'm pretty happy with it. Once in the truck you can't really see it anyways.

Hi,

It is looking really nice - lots of details changed to replicate a particular truck/look - I really like how this one is coming out.

KJ,

Sharp as a tack! Well done. Definately an eye-catcher.

[Trailking120]

Great job I love the stripping and details you added.

[Tesla]

This build is spot on! The paint job and striping is perfect. I have one of these kits

waiting to be built and learned a lot from this posting.

[Kostas Parchas]

Love it.
