BigBad Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I know that company! Their step vans are always at the Mexican food stores in the area! 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. (Emoticon indicating 'The dineros go south' here.)

Danno Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 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!!' (Emoticon indicating 'Super nice build, as always, Tim!!' here.)

loghauler70 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 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. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
