I guess that I never posted any progress pics. of the A100 truck that will be part of my dually and trailer combo/diorama. As I may have mentioned with the other two pieces these were orginally built back in the late 90's when my skills were less than they are today. That explains the rebuild.

These first pics. are what the basic build was looking like when I started the rebuild.

Then I started to add many more necessary frame rails and some wedge shape to the body.

I've also added a tonneau cover for the bed, got the doors hinged, scratchbuilt a set of wheelie bars and got some paint going on the engine. That is where I'm currently at.

It will be painted to match the dually and trailer. It looks the way right now because it is a rebuild and you're still seeing some of the old paint.
