Looks like you are building a RM, steel nose center mounted cab. ALL DM-800, 600, DMM's & U models were built with the offset cab.

That is very nice! How do you keep everything so symmetrical? Cab doors, hood, fenders.....separate parts that just look perfectly matched. You are a heck of a scratch builder.

I love the progress! I was wondering if you were going to go with the offset cab. You're al about the interiors now, eh?

What tires are you running? They look narrow, but aggressive, like old M35 tires.

That looks great! Is the door just sort of wedged in the door frame, or are there some hinges that I can't see?
