thanks man!

does anyone know of anywhere that offers decals to mark this cat motor? i know there is a company that did decals for a resin c series motor but im wondering about a 3406? (mainly for detail decals of a cat 3406) im still trying to figure out a paint solution for it to. also have the battery boxes painted ill install them when its dried and touch up the paint a bit then we will go who knows where after all this mess!

Making decals for Caterpiller anything is like playing with fire. There is a resin 3406E out there, but it doesn't come with any decals.

Update:

Got air duct piping routed...just needs trimmed and needing to clock turbo and do the waterlines then i think i can start priming everything for paint!...WHEW! i cant believe im getting this close to paint!...i need to find some cat yellow for the engine and the perfect shade of red for the truck! but right now i cant do anything much else until i get new blades since i snapped my last one in the process of cutting the turbo off the motor so i can clock it!

Ok...here is the air ducting and water lines i made from an old paper clip...i made two sets...one for this one and another set for a future 377 build that im going to build a dumptruck triaxle ...now to stregthen the bends to where they wont come undone and drill some holes so i can start painting while finishing up the turbo....Anyone have another 3406 kitty motor for me to modify for my future project?...will trade a 60 series detroit!

If you have access to a TSC they have equipment yellow which is the exact same as cat yellow. Are you using a cat engine or just the kit motor because thats a detroit. Sorry if youve said this before.
