Thanks much on the real truck it is not painted.


Ok a little more done I am waiting on the roof to the sleeper but I got some done..

I built the deck plate and the 5th wheel mount I went with a fixed like the 1to1.


Then I was able to get it sprayed and let it dry a day as i went with a signal stage instead of a base clear on the frame..Also went semi gloss black on the trans as the motor in the real truck is semi gloss black with a red head on it.








Let me know what you think guys..

That paint looks good Paul.....and the tanks look even better.
This truck is going to look mean when you are done!

Wow, Paul that paint job is really nice, the red and black work so well together. I also would never had thought that reg pvc pipe would make such beautiful fuel tanks,(thank you for showing us how you did the fuel tanks) i can't wait to see more of this rebuild.
