Chu Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi, there's not much to show just fit the cab and check if there's a problem between the engine and cab. I also dechrome the parts and assemble the fuel tanks.I made a mock of the truck with the wheels hope you like it.

Superpeterbilt Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Wow! That really looks great Jesus. I like the stance, and the wheels. Are those the resin ones that were being sold on ebay? They look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chu Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Wow! That really looks great Jesus. I like the stance, and the wheels. Are those the resin ones that were being sold on ebay? They look good.That's from ebay they look great. I bought three set of those wheels and the six spoke rear wheels are superb. I love the stance too but it would be lower than you saw.

gatorincebu Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Jesus, Everything you've done so far looks good. Adding the vent screen is cool. Can't wait till you get some paint on it. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Jesus...this kit is notorious for the front bumper and frame interfering with the forward tilting feature when the truck reaches final assembly. When I built this kit (as a race car transporter) for Model Cars Magazine a couple of years back, I showed one way to work around this problem. I don't know if you will run into this problem, but if you do, let me know if you need to see the issue number - it was a two part series and the tilting feature fix was in the first of the two articles IIRC. Best of luck with your cool project...TIM BOYD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Nice looking engine. Too bad those red & yellow Ford/Caterpillar decals don't seem to exist anywhere, though. I could use some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
