Today we got some more time to work on centering the front wheels in the fenders and also getting some more body panels test fitted. It’s nice to see it starting to “look” like a truck again. Given everything is just sitting on blocks, but it’s nice to visualize. The […]
Project Cars & Trucks
First Cab Mock-Up
With all of my other projects I have going on at once, I haven’t had much time to make progress on Project Pile-House. But, this past weekend I got a free Saturday morning and a set of extra hands to help, so we went to town on making some big […]
