Moved the speaker to the front of the truck so I can do the interior. Used a small Glad container cut down to fit over the speaker. Held by some tape then glued on with foamtac. Double faced taped it to the servos for mounting.

Rear bumper lighting. I added two extra small LED's for the side markers. These will work off a second switch. I also found their stock running lights to be too bright. I used a resistor to dim them down a bit.

I had some plastic rectangular tubes sitting around. So cut one side open to make it a C channel, painted it green. Then made a box around what use to be the plastic chrome grill of the truck and made a cover for the rear over the frame rails.

Starting my body work to turn this into a Peterbilt. Ground out the old headlight buckets and filling in with plastic as best I can before using putty.
