well here is an update and we are almost done just have to finish the headache rack for the bed. Here are some pics. Two of the pics are of the inside of the cab so you can see what an MFU looks like stuffed into a day cab mainly so Doug and Travis would not have to take the cab off just to see what it looked like inside and the third is a pic of the finished cab with bumper and mirrors.







Thanks for looking.
Travis

The light bar lens was bought from a member here and I added the trailer light kit to it and made a four led flasher unit for the center of it. The base of the light bar is made of ABS plastic bent into a 90 and I screwed the lens to it then servo taped it to the cab so it could be removed easily if the customer wanted to change it.

I have always done my own paint. The two Mack's will be the only two I have not painted. I wanted a paint job on my MACK CH that was a little more than I could do so I sent it to spudd along with the Model L MACK.
