Well finally decided what to do to that 379 i had started a few months ago.

Going for a  Transfer dump but on the clean owner operator style,
I got the ride height to how i want up front  and the fenders to hover over the
wheels much closer. For the boxes and trailer unit i want to go with reliance with the high sides.
I have more sratchbuilt parts to go on and a bunch of chrome for the truck but for now the boxes and trailer
is what im focusing on getting done first. I also have a bunch of Bill Drennen Parts to go on as well.

Boxes arent yet to my liking so i started another pair unpictured but they are a little lower then the one pictured.



Still gotta shorten and box the frame

Well took a break from my 351's and decided to Go ahead and start on this one
i had it listed on the trade add but i kinda had a hard time letting go so i figured
i'd save it.


The kit was basically a mild build up that started with the frame which when i got it was very
tweak so i had heated it up with my heat gun and bent it to where i could get all wheels on the ground
and the frame level.

The hood had both front headlight housings crack to i heated those up as well and glued them into
place. The cab also has some problems like the lower portion on the drivers side had a chunck missing from
the cab which i fixed and primed. i did Scratchbuild another side step box for the passanger as i didnt like the look
of the single fuel tank. i also managed to lower the front end on it so i wouldnt have a big gap which i dont like about the AMT Kits, Stacks will be with K&S Tubing.

With this build i wasnt gonna make a exact replica more of a box stock build  besides a few add on's
Later i'll build both the in tandem truck and the truck later used in the series.

Color will be Standox dark variant Pearl green metallic

Well guys first off im really enjoying this forum and the kool builds ive been reading and figured
i'd jump in after a long time off and start up again. For this model im not realy sure where its headed im
just havin some fun and practice. i started out with a italeri 378 pete and bought most of the resin from porky
to start me off. In the past 2 days ive managed to get a little done the unltra roof i did cut down and add a piece
of scrap to  tie in the day cab a bit more. mainly just cleaning up and straightening everything before i start
glueing.  The stacks i will definetly get a little thinner tubing for the  8 inch look, i have already stared on
the texas bumper as well as  the bow tie drop visor, the truck is also drop all around to eliminate some wheel gap. still alot more to go. cant wait to see it finished lol... have a good one

Hey guys im new around here and would like to say hello, Ive been looking for quite some time now for a resin Hood

spauling. If anyone knows where i can get one please let me no  or if any whoreders out there has one i would love to buy it.
