Wow! You definitely have ambition! And you love those monster sized sleepers! LOL! I'll be watching to see where you end up taking this one. Good start so far!

Sleeper edges sculpted and sanded down... got it about 90% done.

Starting on the hood, fenders and raise the cab roof to the proper stand up cab look.
