Nice change! Yes, that grille definitely makes the truck look like an IH. Now you need the logo and 'International' across the top of the grille. File some letters out of a aluminum, by hand. Just kidding. But I bet it could be done with styrene!

Re: "poseidon" my globeliner
 
yea sure:eek:...lol actually i would like to somehow get the eagle emblem put on there like the real thing but don't know of anyone that makes it in diecast .i suppose i could probably do a decal ,won't be the same 3d effect as the emblem but hey i am happy with the looks now so far...:D

Hey, wait a second.....why are the grille openings not cut out on the passenger side? Looks like you're going to have to shave the louvers off the cab, where the grille covers them as well.

the 1:1 binders are like that.

if you see a real one on the road after now, thats the first thing you'll notice. i saw them in russ's store, then saw one a few days later, and saw it right away.

looks good dwayne!

Thats the way it is to be Nate and that is how I had Russ do them them areas are to be painted black. On a 9670 Eagle they don't have the name header panel they are painted with the eagle over top of it. I wanted this grill to be from the first few years of the 9670 with that upper panel was alum and it said INTERNATIONAL in big letters all the way across it not the later years where it was painted with the eagle over it..

Dwayne the grill looks great nice work..

Paul, I learn something new everyday! Thanks for clearing that up. I did some digging for more information and I found a few photos that do show the grille with a black insert. Pretty interesting stuff. I guess I was looking at the wrong year trucks. Check this one out -

I just never realized it. Cool detail touch.

By the way, I'm guessing you had Russ switch the insert from driver's side to passenger side, to avoid trouble with the licensing?

Nope that was a oops cause we worked off a photo but got it backwards no big deal anyways when painted will still look great I have lettering for my grills on my 2 older looking IH cabs and my 2 new looking IH cabs Ill paint the header board the color of the field on the cab it ends up being in.. Russ is doing some cool stuff just like all the other great vendors and Dwyane's truck here is a perfect example of it..
