Looks good Rev. One of a kind looks. Definitely need the aluminium cleaned up a little. Where's the big Landstar decal going ? :P

It's on the door. They applied it after I took pics. I'll get more pics tomorrow, including some at dusk. The underbody lights are friggin cool!

I got the deckplate and air line box installed today (after fighting with it for several hours), and found I have a major air leak somewhere under the cab. Something tells me it is related to the fact that they went from a 2 horn system to a 1 horn system, because the leak is somewhere up front. I'm bringing it in for a DOT inspection first thing in the morning, so I'll let them find it, because I'm too tired to chase air leaks around.

Tomorrow afternoon, I pull the driver's seat, and figure out what I am going to do with the floor. Then it's on to insulating and soundproofing the underside of the cab. Sunday will be spent finishing all the little piddly things, then I'll give her a good wash. Tuesday morning it goes into the Peterbilt shop in Green Bay to get the air suspension leveler valve replaced (slow leak), then it's back to work!

S-W-E-E-T !

Outstanding Rev!

P.S. Some before and after pics (side-by-side) would be cool as well. No hurry.

That's awesome! I'm glad everything turned out for you. Nice colors as well, looks much better than a white would have. A lot softer.

I like your hood pull (for lack of a better term), and the mirrors on your grill. If I'm not mistaken, Landstar makes you have those mirrors? That was a good idea to use a small mirror to keep the look of the truck and satisfy their requirements.

Nice job all around Rev.

Now, let's get some stacks on that baby! :wink:
