Very interesting, I'm amazed at the way you mounted the motor/trans sideways behind the fairings of the body. The tilt hood looks great, and the cab and sleeper are great as well.

Wow that is just beautiful! I love that engine in there and the transmission look just great. Very very nice, well worth the extra effort.

The paint looks great! The bodywork is perfect. Sometimes with builds like this, you see little flaws in the styrene, but everything looks so smooth, even after a layer of paint! I can't wait to see more photos, with color sprayed.

That really is a sweet color combo! I love the fenders! That yellow ring around the wheels is also very cool! Can't wait to see this truck all painted and set!

The styrene work on this is awesome. This is the best scratch build I've seen. Great color choice. Can't wait to see it all done. Great job!!!!

Painting the engine to match the truck is always cool in my book. And the mesh in the sides of the hood look's really nice. Your builds are always a pleasure to see come together. Great job on a masterpiece.
