i got the cabs together and started some styrene work wish i had another cab to use the window openings for the back doors it would be so much easier. i wanted to use the stock wheelbase for the hilift that way i could use it for the diesel pulling class. and i wanted to be different from the same ol same ol.
plans are to get the bushwacker flares
new front and rear bumpers
some kind of roof rack
CAC BAMF 2.0 wheels
