Brian ,this truck is awesome ,all the scratch building is just amazing. Great job.

Jerry thank you , sorry responding so late I really didn’t have any issues with the front axle turning, sorry I’m not much help .

Thank you Brian the fuel stain is from AMMO wash’s first time I’ve used them. Thank you Hakan. Thank you Jeff , I was going for a truck that worked hard but not abused .the paint turn out alright sprayed right from the cans . Thank you Steve coming from the master of 1/32 scale rigs. Had a little time at the bench today , got the rear wheels done, wasn’t happy with lug nuts that came with the wheels so I used Meng 1.4 mm nut and bolt castings , hung some chains a spear tire on the headache rack , and added some lights also added full fenders and a Loves mud flap (the other flap fell off some where down the road ) LOL . Have too add the roof lights ,horn and mirrors plus other little things. Thanks for looking .

Thank you Chucky , sorry for the late reply.

Well I finally got a break from work and all the usual activities this time of the year . For the most part it’s close to being done the cab is permanently on the frame ,just have to finish up the small details yet light, mirrors and so on. thanks for looking

Thank you Steve it didn’t turn out too bad. I was able to get some detail painting and a set of decals on , you talk about pushing your patience those decals pushed them to the limit . thanks for looking .

Thanks Steve for comment . I did try the decal rivets I couldn’t get them work out so I decided to for go them . Just peeled the tape off the paint job , it didn’t turn out too bad I’m happy with it . Thanks for looking .

Awesome job it’s fantastic looking Peterbilt.

This is awesome build , great attention to detail .

Your off to a great start Gary , it going to be another great looking rig .

Thank you all for the comments. It’s time to move onto the cab since I cut the cab down and did a lot of sanding I lost some rivets want to replace the rivets , I have never use any type of rivet decals . My question is do I primer first then gloss coat or gloss coat then primer over it? any help is most appreciated. thank you

Thank you Steve . Quick update just got the sacks mounted .

Hello All I want too thank every one for all the great comments . It’s been a while sense I’ve been able to get any bench time life gets crazy sometimes. I was able to get a little done today , got all pipe work fitted ,not real happy with the way the exhaust elbows are angled but it is what it is . Also did some weathering I want it to look used but not too abused. thanks for looking .

Hello thank you for all the comments . Was able to get some bench time today, got the engine and transmission installed front wheels , fuel tanks and the radiator are all permanently mounted . Mocked up the exhaust and air intake. Thanks for looking .

Thank you for all comments . Finally had a nice day today so I was able to get the frame painted , the engine and transmission is done . Mocked up the modified front bumper .Now time to try my hand at using some rivet decals on the cab, never use them before so we’ll see how that goes. thanks for looking .

Thank you Steve , the bench was getting a little oily .LOL

Nice on the cab jack , the whole truck is just outstanding . Im thing of adding cab jacks on my K100.

Thank you Titino Thank you Brain I lost a few to the carpet monster LOL.

I want too Thank all you guys for the great comments .keeps me motivated. Nothing better to do on a cold icy , snowy Saturday than to finish up the rear air lines made a leveling valve plumed all the air bags have to finish pluming the air breaks .I know the pluming isn’t true to scale but it looks the part. I also decided to go with a Cummins instead of the Detroit I’ll save the engine for another project. Thanks for looking

Nice job Ken it’s good looking rig .

Thanks for the guys for the information. I found a picture of the same truck online . It’s been a while sense I’ve been able too get to the bench . I got CTM new air valve set had to get the rear air break plumed up . Thanks for looking .

Thank you Lee. I order the K100 dash from Texas 3d Customs, it a Beauty . I made 2 air tanks and added some bolt detail that’s about it for now . thanks for looking .

Thanks guys , I worked on getting the engine finished up just some basic pluming still have to do some weathering on it .

Thank you all for the comments. After the crazy busy holidays I was able to get a little model time today , I decided to go with the Detroit with Manuel transmission did alittle pluming on the engine , made new fuel tanks out of PVC, modified the battery box by cutting the molding in battery out and added plastic sheets to the bottom and back . I’m going with 2 hole Buds in the back from ST supply and 10 hole in the front from Jamie . thanks

Thank you every one for the comments. Sean glad to see your back on the forum as well , this axle is one of the easier one to modify. Gray thank you Jeff I seen the square lights I like the old school round ones Juergen thank you. Steve thank you. Lee this my 2nd conversion , it was a lot easier this time , that’s nice looking Golden Nugget. Hakan thank you for all information . The mounting pins for the cab hinges are horrible I used some 1/8 styrene tubing glued to the frame and I used 1/16 aluminum tube for the pins (it will be shorten) . Got some of the rear suspension built. The front bumper is to narrow so I’m trying to make a wider one , we’ll see out it turns out . The last 2 pictures are of the first conversation I did a few years ago . I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas .
