here are some updates on this build ..needed more fill to fill the rest of the little blemishes i saw after the first round of sanding.i also added the styrene strip on the sides which will extend past the front to make the custom visor look like it belongs there .did another round of sanding .i cut out the spot for the grille,as well as drilled and cut out the windshield and the body where the light buckets will go ..here are the pics to show the progress

for the rear of the cab i decided to do something different..usually there are 2 long stacked air breathers looming up the back to the top and facing the front ...well i want Frostbite to be alittle different .i decided to use the breathers from the kinghauler and join them into one intake at the rear of the cab.i scratchbuilt the double to single intake using evergreen styrene tubing and shaped it to fit both ..this will be another signature mod on my truck
