angelo7 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I'll try to replicate the Pete from the Truck Um Up posters from the seventies (California Dreamin). Got the decal set already. I'll use the tow bed for a future project. This kit includes a 36" sleeper. Edited June 12, 2016 by angelo7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Excellent choice Angel. Thats a nice rig. Will you swap in some modern Alcoas to pull off the look of the poster truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo7 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Will you swap in some modern Alcoas to pull off the look of the poster truck? Actually I was just looking in my parts box for the more modern front wheels. I only found the ones from the Snap kits which are the same as in the poster but more cheap looking also. So if anybody has two of them extra, let me know. A little progress here. Just opened the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelo7 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Monthly report. Started painting today. The brown part should be more like a gold color but I want to match the decals which turned out brown. Edited May 3, 2016 by angelo7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
