Sterling Day Cab
 
Hi there!

I was lucky enough to buy one of those fantastic Ford-to-Sterling conversion grills for the Aeromax.
A great moment to start a new project (although my last project isn't done yet..): a two-axle daycab truck (supposed to pull doubles or triples some day) in Roadway livery.

Here's what I did today:

Frame cut and basic parts added:

Front bumper cut down:

Fender done:

Rear cab started:

Now I have to shorten the tanks and build a battery box and the entire aero
package..

Here's a mock up of what I'm aiming for (plus bigger flares behind the cab..)

Great looking start to your Sterling. Looks like this could be a very promising build and can't wait to see a sterling all done up.

Nice work Pippoe. Should make a nice mate with your K100. Is that a Rust axle under there?
