20dakota04 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I started this and it was put on the back burner so I could finish my Paystar.I have two of these 362's and they where both warped it took a lot of work to get them in usable condition.I made a Double Eagle sleeper and was going to paint it like the United truck below but now I'm not sure what the paint is going to be. Made a front bumper and some boxes that are being chromed. This is where it is at right now. The fenders are stretched Turnpiker fenders.

20dakota04 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well I decided on orange mist for the paint but need to figure out a color for the frame. I don't want to go with black it hides the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Looks nice. I like the orange. I thought the AMT kit was a 352? I'm so confused!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I like it. A suggestion for the frame might be to go with a Champaign Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20dakota04 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Just a small update. I did some more undercab detailing and made some hydraulic lift cylinders. What a pain in the neck to get them to work right. Edited May 19, 2010 by 20dakota04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20dakota04 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Got some under cab detailing done today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) This is a great looking project. The under cab detail is very good and I like the orange, this would look good with a metallic grey or silver frame!! Perhaps also try a white and black belt stripe or something like that.

ARTEMIS1759 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just for curiosity sake. Haven't delt with a COE in years. Should the end of the cylinder not go between the two tabs? Therefore making it stronger? Just wondering. Awesome build though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
