And your a little late on the debut. If it's called frostbite it should be unveiled in January or February .

i split the knighthauler roof cap in half and attached it to the roof only to find out ,this made the cab sit too height too high ,so i removed it and shaved it down and reattached it now purely for strength and rigidity

this is the look i am going for ..while the frame was drying from paint i have another extra frame ,this one is for my 95 Western Star ,i wanted to see what it looked like .it will have Bens monster turnout pipes and it will have a custom bumper as well as the driver will carry a scale matching white ninja bike with him.some were expecting a vintage chopper ,but i felt this gent is a young guy and the truck is not really vintage so this is my vision on this .pipes are just sticky taped on and i will be scratchbuilding the time period air cleaner and the front axle will have the heavy duty supersize balloon tires ,just to be different
