Two tone green is going to be sharp as a tack! What kind of primer did you use on the chassis? How well does it stick to the frame rails and plastic parts?

Steve, I think that most of the CAD programs run about the same. Bob Cad and Auto Cad are similar but different- can't have 2 programs work the same. I am in the same boat as you on CNC computer. The 1 I have now is DOS only- dinosaur!!- because the CNC program is in DOS format. You can still buy this!! They make a system for Windows but then I still need a new computer for it. 1st CNC system I had used Windows and would run from a laptop. Like a dummy, I sold it after not using it for 2 years. Not going to tell you what that system would cost now but it is about twice what a system from Sherline would cost.

Truck really looks nice. Hope to see it in St. Louis!!
