Don,
You did an amazing job on this truck! Thanks for sharing the in-progress photos. The truck and hopper lines are sweet! And the color, graphics, and rear detail are perfect, too.
I'm impressed by the hints at scenery in the backgrounds of your photos. Your ground cover project should keep the driver of that truck busy :-).
