still waiting for the last of my parts to come in..take note of the proper double j brackets for the headlights and the grille is closer to the real one on optimus,the bumper is just on for looks so the truck does not look toothless as they say,proper one has been ordered with the right holes as brought to my attention awhile ago ,it is currently being painted and it should be back in the next few weeks ,by then the rest of the parts should be in and i can start to assemble this loooong ,sloooow build ,disregard the label on the right pipe as it will be removed and the polished,also take note the pipes are the correct 45 degree mitred cut at the top.thank you all for being patient and stay tuned as i am nearing completion of this build..hope you all like what you see so far
