leafsprings Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 The pride and joy of Red Ball Transportation, a '62 Pete 351. Has a Mercury sleeper, chrome sun visor, spot lights, road lamps, chrome air tanks, chrome deck plates, chrome fifth wheel and bumper. A lot more chrome than I'm used to using, but I think its appropriate on this one. 351 hood conversion from AITM, aluminum front wheels from Keystone, and tires from Double Take.

leafsprings Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Thanks for all the previous comments. Appreciated. Update, decided to go with Alcoa's all the way around. Hard to believe, but this 351 has over $150.00 worth of gingerbread added to the California Hauler kit.
