Thanks.. Your guess is as good as mine.

Well I think I'm going to give up on trying to have a normal life. I'm back on the da@# road AGAIN. Seems to be the only way I can make any money.

So know again I will have the cash to finish the truck just no time to do so.

I think I have to be one of the top contenders for longest build as I started this thing in 2007.

I am getting some progress started on the trailer. Or I should say I have got plans made up for it and been talking with some of our best machinist's to get the foundation for the build made.

I am going to have the rear door frame and DOT bumper made so that the lights at the bottom have the same design as my rear bumper on the truck and this is going to be repeated on the DOT bumper as well.

This has to be the first thing made so that I can build forward from it.

The trailer will be constructed just like the real ones. It will have the inside skeleton made from brass then skinned on the outside and the kemlite on the inside. I would like to have the floor ribbed like a real one as well but have not made up my mind on whether I want it machined out of aluminum or make it a different way.

As for the truck, I have 1000 LED's on the way. Then I have to get a bunch of small detail parts, and the MFU then it will be ready for some paint.

yup, i switched from long haul to regional, now i have lots of time to look at it but no $$$$ to get all the parts.

but it isnt a race, and the more time you spend the better the finshed result will be. on the bright side, youve got alot of miles to think about how to make the new stuff you talk about

ride safe, and keep up the awesome work, this is IMO the nicest truck on the board
