highway Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 What color are you using for the Weenie blue Marshall? It looks like a perfect match, and if I can get the resin required to build my old Pete 386, I've been thinking of building my old Weenie ride. By the way, are you going to make an MCP200 for in it? If so, let me know and I'll take my camera to work and try and get a clearer pic of the home screen than this one from my new pumpkin ride!

Custom Hearse Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's Dupli-Color Bermuda Blue Metallic. I picked it up at Autozone. I need to get some more when the roads defrost. My truck didn't have the MCP200 in it. It had the older model Qualcomm. I'm gonna add several little things to the interior that were in the truck, and add a bunk instead of the couch. Werner would never splurge for a creature comfort like a couch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 What gearbox did the prostar with the cummins? Is it the same gearbox behind the maxxforce? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains a lot too why you said in the thread I have with the new Qualcomm antennas why you said you still had a dome since you had the old Qualcomm in it. And a couch, Werner couldn't even splurge for a real engine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do agree that they could've been considerate and turned the truck up... 62 was just too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cummapart in my Pete was the exact opposite, I could go 65 but it wouldn't pull a hill for nothing. It seen a 6% coming up and it started dropping speed, I was lucky to be doing 25 at the top of the hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have no idea why mine climbed so good. I could have 40,000 on board, and I would pass O/O's going up(unless they were real light or empty, then I'd have to call the company to get the decals replaced...).

Custom Hearse Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Still working on puttying the cab and sleeper. Monday will be 70 out, but I have a doctors appointment in the afternoon. Tuesday will be great for painting at 73 degrees. Tuesday night and Wednsday we are supposed to get snow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Don't you know it! Got the lines that I wanted to putty up done, and now it's ready to paint. Unfortunately I have an appointment with a CT scan 70 miles away this morning... If the weather holds out tomorrow I'll be painting it up.

highway Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I hope you can get some painting done, Marshall, I want to see it in color before I go back to work Wednesday! I'm hoping this crazy winter will end soon too, I'm getting tired of it being 53 degrees when I leave and 30 miles up the road it be snowing!

Custom Hearse Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sorry Matt... I wasn't able to paint the cab yet. And to make matters more difficult, the paint I told you about is no longer available... It turns out that when I bought the can of Bermuda blue, it had already been discontinued. I don't know if I have enough to paint the cab, which means I may have to repaint the whole truck in a diiferent light blue. I picked up a couple of cans of DupliColor/GM Light Blue Metallic. It's a little darker, but it might just work for Werner blue. I'll keep you updated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing, because the new color looks close too. Have you thought of checking a local dealer for some touch up paint or just to find out what color Werner blue actually may be or be close to?

Hopefully the weather will hold out. Local for me is 70 miles away... As far as I know, Werner Blue is a custom color. So I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope that the metallic blue is close...

Custom Hearse Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Looks like the new paint color is an exact match for Werner Blue! I'm definitely happy with it! Here's the painted cab: Here is a comparison: Just need to gloss coat it next... Let me know what you think.
