Yet another great looking replica! I like the toast and sandwich graphics on the drom! I like the different metal finishes you use for the "shiny" parts. One tastefully done Pete...

Big rig neophyte question- what the heck is a drom?

[mackinac359]

Drom is short for "dromedary" as in the carrier mounted on a camel.

The front and rear wheels are from Jamie at Mo'Luminum. The lift axle.. I'm not sure who I got those from.

I know that company! Their step vans are always at the Mexican food stores in the area!

[Scalper]

Bimbo is the largest bakery in Mexico, one of the largest companies in Mexico, and has been busy buying up U.S. competitors for several years.

Thanks! Odd looking setup, but I like it.

[The Modeling Hermit]

This is a Bimbo that I do like. It's a beautiful build.

[Danno]

Yeah, I forgot to post that I really like these builds of Tim's, too!

I guess I just take for granted (which I shouldn't) that it goes without saying: 'Super nice build, as always, Tim!!'

Very nice Tim. Stil see the bakery droms here. Mainly on Freightliner COEs. Now you need to finish it off with the trailer.

Looks great Tim. I see those trucks just about every time I haul around the Euegene Oregon area. I also see the Franz bakery 362 droms and truck and double trailers. just a little note for you. There is a gyppo log trucker around here that has one of the old Bimbo bakery 362s and he is hauling short logs with it. He said it makes a great short logger. just thought you wouyld be interested in that little sid note.

Incredible build!

Does the chrome Mylar have a self adhesive backing?

AzTom

[mackinac359]

It does. Most automotive vinyl sign shops have this product and will sell "scraps."

Nice job. You are making me want to build one of these big rigs.

[Kostas Parchas]

How I missed this one???

Will you go for a trailer? I am sure not, but you should.

Fantastic one.

Kostas.
