I like the muffin pan idea too. I bought a fishing box because it has a lid, and I need that. It saved me more than once

I got the muffin pan idea from some of the guys here on the forum. It is really handy. It would be good if there was a lid that would contain the fasteners in case of a spill.

Wow that is a beautiful truck. I don't think my first build will look like that! I do plan on making changes over time to the basic build. I need to figure out the best way to add stripe and graphics. Thanks 1strodeo for sharing!

I like that long green K100. A bit of a different shade that what is normally used. Is that the color you are looking at using? Would make your truck different and stand out. The color of your magnet tray is a cool shade too.

Thanks Diesel Demond. I was trying to go with a color you don't see much of. Just to be a bit different.

janderson, I like elements of each one of the trucks. I really like the paint scheme of the second truck but also like the simplicity of the first one. I will probably take ideas from many sources.
