Cossett asked me to build her a cab, a Freightliner day cab. So for some motivation I built a chassis to put it on while I am building it. Well here are some pics of what I started with and where I am at with it now. Cossett hopefully I am going in the right direction.

Lookin good Travis. I remember that cab sat on my shelf for like forever! Glad to see someone is getting some use out of it. I had nothing to do with the 4 layers of paint. I got it off Ebay that way.

Well I primed it to day while I had the paint gun out and it looks pretty good just a little more sanding, a final prime and I will be done with my part.:D To short maybe yours is to long.:p:D
