Last bits, new front bumper, with a lower tapered bumper with carriage bolt heads added. In looking over the Peerless kit's truck chassis mounting for the log bunk sub frame, it just looked too small & of course had no attaching hardware detail. I added styrene strip to lengthen & widen the mounting sub-frame angle iron shape. Once dry & sanded, more resin cast bolt heads were added. Next is paint & set it all aside for the paint to cure.

I want to see the hood. Is it fiberglass or steel?
This build is great. Keep up the good work.

I'm shooting for steel. It would look good with that beefy air cleaner.

Hard to look at this and this it is going to be a curbside model. Awesome detail! But what I like the most is it is an older rig and the plumbing is simplified. Looking good Rick.
