kilrathy10 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yeah, I'm with everyone else on that, Man....The paint looks great....Gotta go with that..... If you can, check out the dollar stores in your area.....I know the ones down here, seem to always have some discontinued paint in there.....Of course, this is Houston, so......If you can't find it, here, it doesn't exist.....

Custom Hearse Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Got the cab glosscoated. It's a little shinier then a normal Werner truck, but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks J.T. We only have a a small Dollar General here. I went out yesterday to the local NAPA Auto Parts to get a bulb for the interior of my car at 3 in the afternoon, and they were already closed... The motto in this tiny burg is, "If you can't find it, ya shoulda got here EARLIER!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 That is looking darn nice Marshall! I think you hit the color dead on, I'll have to find some so if I get the bits and pieces I need to build my old Pete 386 or if I have a case of stupidity and build my Classic XL like my old Classic from my first Werner go round in 1999!

Custom Hearse Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 It would be somewhat easy to build the first truck I ever drove for Werner. It was a '99 379 Peterbilt. I miss driving those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck parts Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Great build so far.and great match on the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 A PROSTAR!!! Thanks Sean! I'm enjoying this build, although I'm taking my time on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 You should do that one next. Cheers. Ben. I just bought the Revell snap Pete. I'm seriously thinking about it. I just need to find someone who makes the correct sleeper in resin(too expensive to buy a Italeri 377 just for the sleeper), and find the roof cap. The hood wouldn't be too hard to modify(famous last words...). I'll let you know whats up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Great build so far.and great match on the paint Thank you Gordon! I thought the first paint was a great match, but they didn't make it anymore. The new color was found by accident, and it is a whole lot better! I'm seriously glad I found it!!! Thanks again!

highway Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It would be somewhat easy to build the first truck I ever drove for Werner. It was a '99 379 Peterbilt. I miss driving those... Yeah, they tried to give me one when I worked there back then too, but in 99 the cab on the Pete was much smaller than the Ultra Cab version they make now and that my 386 had. My trucker belly wouldn't fit behind the wheel back then!! I just bought the Revell snap Pete. I'm seriously thinking about it. I just need to find someone who makes the correct sleeper in resin(too expensive to buy a Italeri 377 just for the sleeper), and find the roof cap. The hood wouldn't be too hard to modify(famous last words...). I'll let you know whats up. I'm not sure about the roof (I know they make the new ultra cab roof, but not sure about the older one), but P&P Resin makes the sleeper and the hood for the 379. Of course, the 377 would also give you a correct cab, you'd just need the hood and move the SBA forward, and of course the Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatswhatshesaid Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) P&P no longer has that stuff on the website. Not sure if he still offers it or not. Edited March 27, 2014 by Thatswhatshesaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks Matt!!! Just checked and they do have the ultra roof, but they discontinued the sleeper roof. I have seen the sleeper roof on ebay evry now and then, but if I can't pick one up I'll probably buy the 377 kit. Thanks again Matt!!!

I just need to add the next set of parts to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
