Nice work.

Did you virtual lift the front arches a bit aswell?

Great to see another one being saved.

This is looking like it's going to be one seriously nice looking truck. I can't wait to see what she looks like finished.

No i was going to cut them out like rear but there was only two small holes, so i cut the holders for the wheel arches off and just filled them ,

just need to find some wheel arches. just not liking the price tag on them

For the rears you could just use some sort of plastic/rubber strips like my truck but you might struggle to get the fronts looking the same.

Maybe you could use some little angled brackets to fit a small strip at the same kind of height as the rear and attach a plastic strip to that?

Thats the cheap way of doing it anyway :lol:
