378 peterbilt custom


Recommended Posts

Started on this back in may.my first big rig project I've ever even tried and I'm pretty satisfied with the finishing results! Started with dropping the truck as far down as it would sit then stretched it to a 115 wheelbase.double hump fenders on the truck and trailer.outlaw style front fenders,scratch built bumper,visor and headlights! Molded in the grille shell.cut styrene bars to fit and liquid chrome them as well as the stacks too,smooth the body of the rivets as well as the handles...made a cowl around the whole body to hide the frame as well as having the plates under frame to hide suspension and such..made a custom fuel tank strap to just be that much different..it's not a perfect build but I'm satisfied with it and already planning to build another one!
