"Project Bittersweet"
 
I just finished this truck up a few days ago and had the perfect day to go take some pictures :cool:

Its riding on 28" rails and has some custom and True Scale goodies on it.

Great looking build Russ that rear cab panel is killer looking!!

Nice work Russ. I like the metal touches. The rear cab panel, the deck plate, and the tank steps. Nice touches for a stock bodied cab. All you need to do is throw one of the new 3D printed Peterbilt cabs on this chassis and it would be over the top! Not that there is anything wrong with a slightly more mild stock cab build either though!

Very Nice truck, really like the custom metalwork. Where did you get the scale looking frame bolts? I'd love to get some for my Globe Liner. I'm planning on doing a little work on it this winter.

Nice ! I love all the custom touches on it.

Russ your fuel tank steps are awesome, you did a killer job on those. The rear cab panel is a nice touch as well. Gives the truck a "sleeper removed and converted to a day cab" look.

Re: "Project Bittersweet"
 
thanks guys, it great to read all the good comments on the rig

Re: "Project Bittersweet"
 
The rig looks sharp, unique and clean Russ. As all agree the metal work is a great touch and gives the truck personality but I did notice one thing that seemed out of place. I like the new way you mounted the rear 1/4 fenders but they are stock fenders:confused: after all the great metal work you did on the rest of the truck, would be nice to see some Russ custom fenders on it:D:cool:
