I've finally got back to working on this game.
Cab artwork has been painted over (DOH!) 3 times by the look of it as there are 3 different colours over it, top layer being black.
Rob (Ford Fairlane) had scratched off the paint on the sides to reveal the original artwork before I bought the game from him.
With careful application of paint stripper I was able to sucessfully strip the front back to reval the original artwork there and have now made stencils. Still wondering how to cut them out though .. will be a bit tricky .. I might have to make one stencil for each colour .. not sure yet.
Today I also finally finished removing the siderails .
 The left rail proved very difficult and time consuming and 3 nail heads broke off in the process , of which I was only able to successfully remove the body of one nail , so will have to decide how to get the other 2 out (also have one nail body stuck in the right hand side.

Here's a few pics of the cab as it is now and one of my tracing of the side art. More updates coming as I make some more progress
I need more room ! and more $$$
