25November 4, 2024How the wheels look with tires on them.
26November 4, 2024Interior. I was going to go leather but then I saw a picture online of 2 tone gray and liked that better.

Back to my roots with this build. I'm not going to do any modifications, just box stock. Heck, with a semi truck kit box stock is enough.
