Diamond Reo save

This is a Diamond Reo that I bought already started. I stripped it down and have some of it completed. Traded off the star burst sleeper. This will be a day cab for a construction crew when finished. You can see the test fit of the Cummins engine and tranny into the frame here. Have a lot more work to do to it.

Looks like its in pretty good shape for being already started.

The paint was really bad. Hand brushed and all.Real hard to get off. I did leave the wheels yellow and trimmed them in black. I thought I'd do that since I will use a construction yellow painted flat bed on it and the spoke wheels on it will be yellow too. This truck will be a low gloss black. I'm further along with it and I need to take some more pics of it. I managed to get everything unglued and cleaned up. As you can see the engine cleaned up well went back together pretty easy as well as the frame. Cab took some work though.

I love it when someone restores and or improves a previously built model. I will be watching this one to see how you finish it out.
