    Heres my old beater. Bought it for $100 3 years ago with the front end smashed in and 4 bald tires, fixed it up and have driven it every day since.

    Hello all. I got this AMT "California Hauler" kit for christmas back in 2016 and started putting it together in january 2017. Its been on and off my bench since than. Its not the nicest build on here by far but its the best bigrig I've built so far. As for the buildup I did it pretty much out of the box, sleeper is from ebay, I believe from the White western star. The frame was shortened a bit before i decided on a sleeper so it looks a bit stubby but thats ok. Quite a few parts were changed out and added from other kits. Tires or from the AMT Mack R kit. Thanks for looking any comments welcome!

    I decided it needed a sleeper so i dug through my stash of truck parts and found a mercury that was in decent shape. Here it is as it sits, almost ready to move it over to under glass, just need the one window, the exhaust pipes and trailer hookup.

    I have made some progress and now she is almost complete. I now have bothe stacks on, both mirrors done and the interior bucket glued to the frame. I added a larger tank on the drivers side and put steps on both tanks, decals done on both sides the passenger side seems to be lacking somthing, it just doesnt look as nice for some reason. I also got the ac painted and glued on. As of right now i have to put on the exhaust pipes, paint the underside of the hood and glue in one last window. I also have to fix the passenger side front hubcap thats crooked and the antenna that for some reason leaned. Sorry for the long winded post, any suggestions or comments welcome.

    Awesome work, looks really nice. Tje blue is a pretty close match, it will be perfect if you weather it a bit.

    I've been super busy all week but today I put in a DAC album and worked on her for about 2 hrs. I didn't get much done but here's the progress....

    Thanks guys, i was sitting here looking at the body and just realized how crooked the decals are, they came right off and after some light sanding and another thin coat ill start over and pay better attention to it. Luckily i have a few sets of those decals sets around! My step dad used to work in a truck shop and he echoed what Force said. Also i need an opinion, what color frame should i do? I am thinking either red or black, i set it on the unpainted white frame and it didn't look right. Thanks again fellas!

    Hello all, its been awhile but in my spare time this last week i opened up my amt pete. I got the motor done and have started on the chassis and body. Im doing it pretty much out of the box, taking inspiration from other members builds. I know, i know peterbilt engines are supposed to be white but i like DD green better. How'd i do mixing the paint? It took 4 or 5 batches for me to be happy with the color. Thanks all!
  22. JUNK-MAN
    Beautiful work! I lobe it!! Also, I think I've found my inspiration for the amt I'm building, that is if you don't mind me kinda sorta using your paint scheme.

    Nope, came off the amt ford van.
  24. JUNK-MAN
    I have had a huge pile of old ford parts kicking around for awhile and got to throwing this together awhile back. It is finally at a mock up point where i can post it. It has an '80 cab and interior bucket as well as the front 4x4 axle. the bed, seat, steering wheel, roll bars, and the wheels and tires all came from two 1991 kits, the engine, transmission and and rear half of the frame came from the amt '78 kit as well as other parts from other things. Its far from done but here it is so far, i know it is far from accurate but i like the pieced together look
