DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Calling this one finished. There are some things that I would have done differently if I had it to do over, but over all I'm happy with how it turned out. It sits on the Freightliner chassis. The cab is a cut down Back Yard Shed cab.
