Hi fellas! Had a good and bad day with this today.The good part is i got the interior in and all the chrome bits on.Now the bad part,the windows crazed up when i glued them in,the interior wouldn't stay up far enough and prevented the cab from sitting correctly on the frame and i can't get the cab to tilt.  Need to figure out how to make something so the cab will tilt.Hope you like how it looks so far and it is by no means perfect.

Looks great Leon, fitment issues ALWAYS hit me, but it's part of the frustration....
what glue crazed up on the windows mate? I always use "FORMULA 560" Canopy Glue,
it dries clear, and if the window moves, and the glue smears, it will come off when dry.

Hi fellas! Played around with getting the cab to tilt over the weekend and after going through all my spare armor parts i found a pair of shocks that were a perfect fix.Took me 3 tries to get them even.I'm a happy camper now. Got the hoses made up,painted and on tonight.I should have this finished this weekend.

Yeah baby!!!! You've gotta be happy with that buddy. That's one thing that I have to work on with mine is the cab tilt without it going over too far.
