Re: CAT 773G
 

thanks man, yea they do justice.

Thanks bud, im very happy with the progress so far.

You said it right, very time consuming but well worth it. Thank You bro

Thanks Brother, stay tuned for some more tricks I got up my sleeve ;)

Re: CAT 773G
 

well I was able to finish it right on time for the show, still needs some details and some final touches but overall was very impressed and happy with it!

A HUGE THANKS to Keith Forman "Kaf343" and Mario Perron "SuperMario"! Keith, for bending up the dump bed for me and pieces for me to assemble my bed, without him I would not have been able to pull the build off, and Mario, for sending me all the pics, schematics, and parts print outs from Caterpillar directly so I could pull this build off! Thank You guys! :)
