  1. Very nice Peterbilt! I always liked these double bunk cabovers!
  2. Looks awesome! I like the colors! This one really came out great! Excellent work!
  3. You are truly a craftsman!! I enjoyed watching this one come together! It is by far the best Dodge cabover that I have ever seen built! As Charles said, the details and weathering is perfect! It looks real! Excellent work!
  4. Actually, I wasn’t aware that the 4-53 was available in these. Do you have any reference material on these trucks with a Detroit or even an engine compartment picture? I have 4-53 references, just not in one of these, at least not that I remember.😀
  5. You are really turning them out! Excellent work!! Looks great!!
  6. I like that blue and yellow together!! This thing is looking great!!
  7. Looking good!! I've always used a pocket screwdriver for doing the heat swadge. I was able to do it as a kid on the original kit, so I'm sure that you won't have a problem.
  8. You really captured the look of the 1:1 379! Excellent work! The Catroit engine even fooled me at first. Very nice!!
  9. I like it!! The headlights give it a look reminiscent to its predecessor the Emeryville. The weathering looks great as well. Nice work!!
  10. Beautiful build!! The added details really make this one!! You have a way with this scale for sure!
  11. I have addressed this issue two different ways. On this gold Ford I put Nascar tires on the inside of the Swampers and used rear drag car wheels. The Nascar tires had a slightly smaller inner diameter. On this Gremlin I simply increased the diameter of the wheel as well as widened them with styrene.
