it's funny how every company has it's own styling cues and body lines that are specific to THAT particular brand or model. I like your attention to detail and how you've captured the flavor of the Western Star classic. Keep at it, it looks like you've nailed this one.

had to cut a hole in the hood to flatten it abit more in order to fit the cool grill from Paul.and i will have to section the front of the nose in order to get the grill to sit a bit more flush between the headlights.with this grill it is really starting to look like a Western Star...thanks Paul!!!!
