...Finished Black washing and dull coating the engine...still a couple of shiny spots that need knocked down some more.   Started out with a shiny Pewter Gray from the rattle can.....the end result after applying some earth tone colors, Black wash and a couple coats of dull coat.  My wife Amy is choosing all the color for this rig and I must admit that she has a better eye for color coordination than I do.....should turn out to be a unique trash truck yet fill the bill as far as trash trucks are concerned if that makes any sense.  Next up is the frame/chassis 

Decking cut but needs some fine tuning, paint on. Next, lights, decals and some additional details then back to truck. 

Fab work nearly completed, didn’t realize the kit has no dolly legs so I got to fab some up. Some finish work on the frame then color. 

Trailer frame coming together, wheelset built. 

Took a break from the truck today and started the trailer build. Using the AMT Lowboy kit as the donor. Will not use the beaver tail, will stretch to 40ft. Build a set of 10 hole wheels. Paint will be turquoise for the frame and semi gloss black for suspension/axles. 

Rear fenders mounted, lights on, custom fuel tanks mounted, built aero skirt supports and mounted them. Think I will shorten the exhaust, but making progress. Finish up interior and cab next. 

Thank you
