Brian thanks for the nice comments I didn’t think those scraps would make it that convincing. I appreciate it.

Pete68 Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 (edited) Last update for today. Completed the Control tower and added it. Added more details to dash including warning decals. Painted PTO knob and picked out the gauges. Made a RD bumper for it by adding some tread plate to the top of a DM bumper. Did a quick mock up to insure fit before painting. More updates tomorrow.

gotnitro? Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Nice work Lee The interior definitely looks like a typical work truck ready for another trip 1
BK9300 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I agree! Very good interior - like I said before, like all the detail painting you do. 1

Pete68 Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 Little more progress today. Built the mirrors and made a Grass Burner Exhaust and added the mudflats. I also added a light on the salt spreader I remember these when I was a kid salt trucks having them 1
BK9300 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Lee, you're moving right along - I've never heard the expression, 'grass burner' referring to the exhaust, but makes sense! Did your salt spreader spot come with the kit? Great progress, overall! 1
