Donnie built some new shelves & needed something to display on them new babies.
So Chris & I are going to see if we can give him something worth putting on one of them.
I'll post a pic of the one we're shootin for,as soon as I figure it out.
Got the cab back from Chris the other day,& let'me tell you what! He knocked this baby right out of the ball field!:eek: Take a look.

Nize....HUH? & the best part is it's not even done yet.:D He had to send it to me so I can to do the easy part.The chassis & the goodies that hang on it. Of coarse there made out of my favorite model'in material(Aluminium).

What a pain tryin to get the cab to sit right. Cutting the floor pan & makin fit the modded cab was no walk in the park. It took me two hrs just for that little task.BUT! She sits just ducky on the chassis.

That's going to be a beauty, when it's all said and done. The cab looks accurate and the grill seals the deal. Very nice.

Well had a little problem w/the length of the motor/trany.
