Not completely finished, but getting there...what do you think do far? (Dennis Aust headache rack, Stewart air hoses, Plano mirrors, Microscale decals, LoneStar running/parking lights/taillights, custom added lift-axle)

I've been eying that up ever ytime I go into Wallyworld, which isn't often.
It's a wee bit too new for my era but what the heck, rule 1 always in effect!
Nice work!
 
Nice work. The lift axle really helps fill out the extra long chassis.

For the air lines, you might consider getting a little spool of silver or copper bead wire from your local craft store. Just wrap it around some 1/32" dia. aluminum tube and trim to a suitable length. It's far cheaper than buying any ready made product and the money you save can go into more vehicles.
 
They look nice. I also think the dirt on the side ends to fast and should fade more. Those airline hoses you mentioned for $3.25, how many do you get for $3.25?

One last think I don't like it the seems on the chrome parts. I just sanded them on one I'm working on and plan to paint the chrome over it. I was thinking of spraying over it myself with chrome spray paint. I hope it goes well.
