Wow Paul......that baby is so nice

Looks killer with all those lights...Very nicely done...

Have you thought about changing out the super white led headlights to a yellow glow led...it might make it look more "old school" or are you sticking with a more modern look....?

[Espeefan]

That's awesome! More photos, please! Outdoors? This is one of my favorite trucks of yours, Paul. Couldn't have turned out any nicer!

I'm mostly a Peterbilt guy, but always loved a nice A model. Truck looks like it could be straight from the 70s or 2013. I love that.

Hey Big D sorry I missed your comment.. Thanks much for the great comment no I am not big on selling any of my trucks I have learned my lesson it is too hard to see your builds wrecked when you sell them the owner of this truck is hot on getting it but he dont have a very good chance either..

Whats next? have to finish the Hot Irons, I have 2 other show trucks for clients I am also working on I have enuff parts to build 3 more trucks for myself then I am done building new trucks for myself just going to work on details for there on out on what I have.. I have finally reached a goal I have had for a long time so picks to come on that..

awesome how the sleeper comes up and off. really nice rig!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Finally got some out door shots of my trucks so here is the A Model.








Had a little photo shoot at the truck show with the real A Model and a custom built DCP of the A Model a guy made and the owner of Largecar Mag was taking picks of them with the 1:1 for the Mag..

Awesome! Paul did you build this truck for Tracy, or for yourself, just as a replica? I'd have a hard time letting one like this go, if it was for someone else. Between this KW and your IH COE, I can't decide which I like better. This is one of my favorites though. Beautiful truck, in every way!

[Bigrigger]

This truck is fantastic! The comparison is great, too! It shows how realistic and accurate it is! I agree with Nathan, these rigs are incredible!

[sneaky-pete]

WOW
This truck is the bomb!
I love the hood detail

Thanks again Nate.. No I built this truck for me the owner of the real one is a good friend and I just love his truck so a mini was in order..
