Cab meets Frame

Well, made a major milestone tonight.

After about 20 yrs (not sure, bought in peices) the cab has been reaquanted (spl?) with the cab, after a bunch of new metal I couldn't wait to get it on the frame.

I am going to put all the body back on so I can see what I have.

Couldn't be more happy.






Mark

Here's a picture with a few more parts hanging on it.

I'm so glad to get it to this point, i was starting to burn out on the cab metal work, this gives me a new kick.
