Is this your first semi build? Looking good so far! Sometimes with all the heavily modified rigs out there, we forget how nice the stock ones are, even though your's will be warmed over slightly! Great pictures. I like where your project is headed. That stretched frame will make your trailer look like a shorty!

Thanks!!! Yep, first semi build.

As for the trailer, the plan is to make a long lowboy to haul my scalers.

Here are some of my RC's.

Nice color, and great smooth finish on the clearcoat. I do like the idea of flipping the darker color to the top.

Got motivated to work on this truck again. I decided to go a new route with the over all look, more of a "show-ish" truck. I cut off the sleeper cab and lower the cab about .4".

Got the back of the cab filled in and cut out the previous sun roof shave job, then filled it in again.





Used a axial trans as a transfer case(if that what this unit is called in a 1:1, I am not sure). Had to do this because the frame is so long and having a day cab. I still need to make a cover to seal the case.
