Bob, very, very nice truck!
Beautifully finished, well chosen exterior colours.

Always nice to see a DAF; they are manufactured in my hometown (Eindhoven, The Netherlands). When I was a teenager (about 16/17 years old) I worked as a production employee during summer holidays and I constructed cab interior parts for the 95 series.

I guess you don't find many DAF's in the USA, or am I wrong?

I've never seen a DAF here in the US. I know Kenworth is going to start using the DAF cab for their cab overs (Kenworth K500). Maybe I could start a DAF dealership. Think PACCAR would go for it?

Paul, thank you...I just thought it was a neat looking truck, so I built it. As for seeing any DAF here in the states...nope...volvo's a plenty and some medium sized euro macks{midliner I think} but no "big" euro trucks. -Bob
