That looks just like Vinnies truck. Awesome work. Ive seen the 1:1 in person, this is a very much like it. Beautiful like the rest of your builds. Your gonna need bigger ledge to display them. I hope the 379 im gonna build comes out lookin as good as this, mine is a 1:1 inspired build.

I just noticed you even got the tribute to Jake Eilen on the back. Your attention to detail is amazing! Cant stop lookin at it.

Thanks guys, really appreciate it! Petertrucker07, yes I'm gonna need a bigger ledge to put them on. My wife says I gotta fine a new place to put them, so that will probably happen frist. Lol yes I did the stickers on the steps and the jack eilen on the back. They didn't turn very good that was the fourth set I did. My printer isn't very good si I need to upgrade that.

KJ790 the canvas is a trash bag that I heat shrank it to get it tight.

That is just WOW !!

Have you ever tried Monocote ? Its the RC airplane fuselage covering. Comes in lots of different colors and shrinks tight with heat.

No I haven't Sam I Am. I would be interested in though do you have a link? Thanks for the info have to check into it

I like the stripe and sign work especially. Heat-shrinking trash bag for a trailer covering....simply brilliant! (going to "tarp" a flatbed load using your method, hope I can get results as nice as yours).

Overall, very nice rig.

I know I'm diggin' this one.....Luvin' the orange, too.....Very nice work.....MAN, this is good !!! Totally like what you did with the sleeper, and that trash bag is done very well.....I might just have to try that.....Being on a budget, that's right up my alley..... :D

The Monocote is not very expensive. You cut it to size, press it down on the sub-structure, and then lightly hit it with the heat. Shrinks, and tightens up real sweet..

Yes I'm on a roman noodle budget lol. At least I feel like she got me on one! Thanks again guys. I've learn a lot off here too it's great.
