mountaindewd Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Pete Rebilt! I've been whittlin' away at this for a couple weeks. Not sure of its future yet, but, on its way no less. Started with the AMT 359. So far I've chopped it, scalped it, dropped it and performed rhinoplasty, narrowing the hood and scratchin' a new grille. Will be constructing a frame soon and see where it goes from there. One thought is possibly hauling the toys around in the 44' Galaxy gooseneck or even leaning towards a wrecker of sorts. We shall see as it progresses. Edited November 25, 2012 by mountaindewd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I vote for building it as a tractor- it just looks awesome leading off that trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterj1 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wow...that looks STOUT. I bet that they couldn't build those fast enough if they built them on 1:1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewd Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks for the comments, y'all! I got a little more done to this one. I've made two different bumpers and not yet sure which one will be used though I am leaning toward the bigger one. Cut the kit sleeper up and using it as the fuel tank/storage box. I still have to finish sanding the roof of the sleeper tank and scribe doors into the upper portion of it. Interior has been started also. This is all in mock up, nothing is glued yet.

fordsixty Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 wow, super cool truck. you have some great ideas there; very aggressive. about the bumpers, i like the second one best, really enhances the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Super tuff little hot-rod you have there! I like both grills, the first one with the chunky bumpers makes the truck look tougher, but the second one looks a little better. This is turning out pretty nicely. What are the plans for the exhaust and air intake ? Decided on a color? Edited January 4, 2013 by BigBad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platerpants Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 For exhausts please find a way to put stacks on it a diesel cant go without stacks even in hotrod form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Customs Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Maybe im a little off my rocker here, but I think this truck is awesome. I love the Short Stubby look to it. Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGE61795 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have to admit.. I wasn't sure how I felt about this truck until I saw this picture, this bumper completely changes it, I dig it! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
