forgot to post over here..

been working on this for a bit, attempting snowman's truck...

trailer is standard box trailer, got the stickers from ebay, attampted to make my own dayton wheels, but i think buying them is easier

for the truck i cut the sleeper up and shortened it, lowered the roof, still have to make the doors and add more rivets.. had to drop the alum 10 holes on just to get an idea of what's to come...lol

i think it looks pretty good, i hope i can get the sleeper rounded off right though. any suggestions welcome.

like the man said... "we got a long way to go..."
