THanks buddy. Still waiting on some more parts. Hoping to get an aluminum grill made for this. I'm sure Russ can handle it with no problem at all.

Wow, I could drool all over this one. I think this is my favorite truck, out of all the ones I have seen you post, from your collection. The paint is incredibe, and I love needle nose Peterbilts. If you get that aluminum grille machined up, and installed, it's going to be one of the best looking trucks on this forum. I really like that visor too. This truck is so awesome.
