its been cold here,  so i have struggled a little getting this thing painted.  went ahead and sprayed it to see how it would turn out.  could be better, but it turned out ok.

Frame is pretty much done, compressors and fuel cell are all that is left.  everything is made from scratch except for the rear axle.  bags front and rear and clear air lines.

well heres the finished product.  its probably around 98% custom made.  only parts used from the actual kit is the cab part and doors,  and bed sides and tailgate.  everything else was either custom made or kit bashed. had a hard time getting this thing painted due to the cold and rainy weather.  seemed like the clear didnt want to dry.  its been rainy and icy all yesterday and last night,  so here a a few pics i took,  try and get some better ones later today.











Built a custom stand for it.
