Frieghtliner Century Class

Next I cut a wedge out of the sides of the hood a little better than a 1/4 of a inch


After I cut the wedges out of the hood I cut the fenders free from the cab as so I could move them back a 1/8 inch so the front edge of the hood would line back up but I forgot to take a pick of this..

After I cut the fenders loose I started gluing the hood and the fenders back together and pitching the hood down and this is what I ended up with..

I started ruffing the roof top out tonight and mocked it up on a frame with the tanks..





have gotten a little body work done and have made the new frame and mounted the stacks and the mounting brackets for them also I have made a new mounting bracket for the front bumber to move it back even with the body. I will get some more body work this weekend...

Still on the look out for a new Knight Hauler grill "Joe did Ed check with you on one for me?" anyways somebody jacked my rear rims....ED :'( LOL Just joking I have new Alum ones coming for it..I will be wraping this one up soon..

Well since I do some of my best work late at night or early morning here is some of the finish picks of my 2004 Frieghtliner..Body and paint is done..This truck is my most stock rig ever I went semi gloss black on all the frame and a really cool silver tan sort of color I will get some out door picks later today..I still have to wire it and order a MFU for it and i have a set of alum rims comming for it but I am thinking of only useing the front alum rims and making bud steel rims for the rear. I am also waiting on a punisher shaft so I can do the double drive shaft with the bearing block..But enuff jawing here is the picks.
