Paul you done a great job on those steps. I love that red frame, it really pops! Can't wait to see the cab painted.

Oh, that cab is looking really nice Paul! Those Kenworth style fuel tank mounts - may ask where you got them? I thought Russ was making those, but I've never seen any mention of them in his vendor section.
