Reg, I've been in the sheet metal business for 25 years and have got to say, you are a master of fab work. Looking great.

The fenders are looking real good. I like the cab sitting up higher for dumps and heavy hauls, kinda goes with the heavier suspensions.

I know I am John. There just always seems to be a detail/shape that I know I could have done better on. If I had your painting skills I would feel a lot better about how this will look in the end.

Wow! Thanks Keith, that's a really nice thing to say! I have a lot to learn yet about metal fab but that's part of the enjoyment for me. There are a lot more wasted parts on the floor from trying to build this cab compared to the HD or KW850. I guess there is a reason that the 1:1 uses fiberglass for the fenders and hood and not metal.
