Started breaking down the A model to get the frame painted and back together this week.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Still got lots to do need to get the tranny painted and finish the door handles and some body work but then it will be ready for paint and then all the wiring and MFU and lights..

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.

[Espeefan]

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.

Thanks Nate.. Yep I picked one up to try it out as a custom build I am doing the owner wants one on his truck so I wanted to check it out before I used one on a customers truck and I am happy with it.

[dirthalr]

Wow this is a cool truck. Awesome skills.

[Claus]

That is one sharp rig!
