Looks great, for a first time build! I'd do something with the stacks though. Loose the heat shields, and the stock diameter elbows at the bottom, for one big fat pipe. But I like the paint and love the front window trim. Is it painted like that, or did you use bare metal foil around the gasket?

Not a fan of the exhaust stacks either. Hope to swap to a set of chrome stacks from SnP in the future. The front window trim was just painted silver before the clear. Making steady progress. I want to add some red lights to the back of the sleeper next. Will try to get some good outside pics this weekend.

Looking good!! I like that you did a simple lit bumper! I think it looks just as bad a$$ as a fully lit one! great job so far!!

Some pics in the sunshine today, looks better this way. Still some touch-up work to do, like the rear deck plate and some red lights in the back of the sleeper. Can't wait to get the trailer wired and lit up.

Nice! Thanks for the info on the painted window trim. Now that I look, I see you've done the same with the trim around the doors. Love the night time photo too. One of my favorite things is a full set of working lights! Nice work.

Really sharp looking set up you have there. What type of aluminum stock did you use on the trailer decking? looks very scale.

Very clean and simple, you have one sharp combo there like the tool boxes and where did you pick up the sleeper visor and the tool boxes very nice...

This is a great build some of the newer guy may not have seen. Beautiful yet simple looking truck.

Awesome combo! Love the short bunk look on a truck, especially a Pete! :)

An impressive work, have you thought about putting another fuel tank behind the first or a toolbox? I would be great, because it is a truck 10
