1/16 Scale Pete 379 Livin' Large (Totally Coming Together)

[kilrathy10]

I'm gonna convert my first Pete 359 into something else....It's gonna be a large one, but I don't know exactly what it's gonna look like when I get done...I'm just gonna wing it, as usual...I finished making a hood, today...Here's what I got...

It will be a nice one I'm sure.

The hood looks very nice.

[signguy2108]

Keep us posted, J.T. Hood looks good!

[kilrathy10]

What a difference a day makes...I'm starting to get the feel of what it's gonna look like....

Another masterpiece in the works. You must have bought stocks in Evergreen, this thing is taking yards of styrene sheets man! Carry on!

[snoop]

Looking good so far. I will definitely be watching this...

[bandit1]

Watching this for sure!

If you had a big load on the trailer you may have trouble at the scales. Looks like you could jog in there. It's a "condo".

Uhhhh... WOW!!!

[ewaskew]

Looks very nice,thats some good scratch building you got going there JT.

Just a few more things made up for this one....I stretched the frame and put it together, of course, and made up new battery boxes....I'm going to use the kit tanks, but had to strip the chrome....I also made up some air filters out of PVC pipe and plastic with a little wire mesh I found at the dollar store in the form of a strainer....They're not done, yet...I still have to add some ribs to them....

This truck is going to be massive. Also J.T. I am going to steal the way you made the breathers, its such an innovative way to do that. I am an honest thief I tell you first.

[flat-top]

Nice, Livin Large indeed my friend.

I don't have a problem with that at all....If you can use something I post....Awesome!!!! Makes me feel good I was able to help somebody....I've "borrowed a few ideas, here and there, myself....Really like this forum for that.....You're welcome to use anything I post, Guys...Anything....

[bdnovass]

UPDATES!!! WE NEED UPDATES!!! Sorry... I can't help myself.

[kilrathy10]

I've done a few things...A lot of tedious stuff to do, yet, but I did get 1/2 of the interior mocked up....

HA! That's great ! - Did you scratch the sink and faucets? How long is the frame?

[Custom Hearse]

Whew!!! Thanks! I needed that update!!!

That is looking really nice! You've made it look like a masterpiece!!!

[Truck parts]

That's one very large car!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing this done.

[kilrathy10]

Got some more work done, this week....Once again, I've decided to go with my signature color, orange....Got the left and right side interior modules pretty much done, and I made a TV and computer....

I guess it will be on to the chassis and engine, after this...Then I'll be back to do the cab....That's what I'm thinking, anyway...
