Thanks Gator! I hope I got it right now, the fix seems to have worked. I plan to get the body back in shape today.

Gator, I haven't even started to paint the frame yet, I need to scratchbuild the fuel tanks or at least adapt kit issued ones. Also I'm trying to find time to get the cab finished and the details on the hood, but this is the second weekend in a row with too much planned. And next weekend no building either, since I'll be over to my friends in Switzerland again. But you're right, it's past the halfway mark! ;D

Finally an update on this build. With the crappy weather here today and nothing else to do, it's a good day for kitbuilding. The exhaust plumbing is done, some cab detail is on and I'm working on cutting back the diesel tanks. Here's some mock-up/ test fit pics without and with hood, just to give you an idea.

Thanks guys!
Yes Gator, I think I can say Home Stretch on this one. Time is the factor now, I have the bumper on too and the tanks cut short and primed.

Thank you Robert! It has been a head-scratcher from time to time, but hopefully I can finish up on this one in the forseeable future.
