The air intake & exhaust are the hardest parts to do as this rig has a Detroit V6 under the bonnet and it all sits close to the cab so alot of cutting of pipe work is happening.

I reckon the new canopy looks better then before. All the accessories in the back look great, does the fridge open? I was thinking a little gas burner would look cool, then we can have cuppa's!!
