Thanks for the compliments guys, I actually started with the race truck I scored from a friend of mine but he had robbed alot of parts out of it so I thought perfect candidate for a custom. The rear fenders I bought from Spaulding, took a while to get them but they are cool, I see they do not offer them on their site any more, but there is a gentlemen in Kentucky selling some that are similar I actually like them better myself. There are a set on E-Bay right now but he tells me he is going to have a website to order off of in a month or so?

Well this thing is so slow going with all of my outside projects this summer, but I have managed to get a few more things done so I thought I would throw them up. Hope you are all liking it so far I am having alot of fun with it.

Chris, thank you your Pete is looking very good! Looks like they will almost be a match set when finished. I really like the look. I made a bumper similar to yours last night out of the alluminum I used for the deck plate. What did you use for your elbows? I am thinking of turning down alluminum on a lathe and then bending it. The thing is getting kind of heavy though! Again nice work and can't wait to see yours done.

Well I can see these pictures are bad, I actually forgot how I posted the first ones through photobucket. I like that alot better!

Finally got a few more things done this weekend, getting the visor just about done and worked on the deck plate and rear light bar. Feels good to have some color on this thing now!! Hope you all like it so far.

Looking very nice. Excellent work!

Dave, funny you sent that when I seen that truck on there a couple of weeks ago, it finally helped me decide what colors to go with on mine, looks nice and clean! Is that a relist? Last I seen on E-bay I think it was up to 86,000. Would be a super nice ride to have though!

Great!! Thanks, I guess I just never thought to try a website for the stuff.

Wish it was a cat, I still may buy one for it before it's done, but that's the cool thing about models you can do what you want! I strecthed the frame with other frame pieces, I would like to find some of that evergreen stuff, I read Tim talking about it alot but about the only hobby store around here is Hobby Lobby and they don't seem to have things like that.

Well I am not sure how to add pictures but I will try, here is whats happening so far with my pete, gonna be long low and sweet hopefully, I cut down a 63" to a 48" bunk got some mo'luminum vortox's and monkey claws hot rod head lights, double humps and lotsa cool stuff. Hope these pictures work, let me know. thanks

Thanks Rottin 1, your Kenworth and Bull rack look real nice, I like it! If I ever get this pete done I am going to do a needle nose KW resin from Matt at Monkey Claw, it is a nice piece!

Hello all, Just wanted to say hi. I have been building off and on since I was a kid, I am currently working on a 359 ext hood. I am excited to share this truck with all of you as I get it built. I may need some help in posting pictures. Though I am not on the road anymore I still have a deep passion for cool trucks and this is one way I can stay in touch with them!
