Here's my 1/12 scale 69 Camaro Z/28 built about 3 years ago. Kenny B.

Charles, Very Very nice job well done. So nice and clean something to be very proud of. Well done. Kenny B

Thanks for the comments. I'm getting real close on ordering the rivets, I figure I will have about 1500 holes to drill. I need to measure the size of the rivets on a 1:1 Pete just to make sure that they are the right size. Anyone out there drive a Pete 379 let me know if you could tell me what the OD head size is in MM. Also is the head size rivets on the sleeper and cab the same size? Thanks everyone. Kenny B.

Norman, sorry for the slow reply. I think ideal thickness is .050 if you can find it. My hobby shop seems to be out of stock on it. Kenny B.

I love this truck. Very very nice detail on the frame. More pics? Kenny B.

Thanks for the ideas Earl. Thin cardboard works as well or you will be spending alot of money on sheets of plastic. I remember my first scratch build back a few many many years ago. I took an International and used the Mack Convoy truck and some plastic from a window blind to build my first place winner at the age of 16. After all these years I managed to still hang on to one of the first trucks that I built as a kid. Buy the time that I started to get into doing another scratch build I was getting alot better. I then chopped up a 1/16 scale KW and first time with a cheep airbrush, built in the mid eighties. So my big Pete is only my third big scratch build that I have done.I am learning as I go along with the help from reading other forums. Nothing is impossible take your time and make sure that your body work is really smooth or the final result will look like a hack job. Thanks for all your comments and any helpful advise is also welcome. Thanks, Kenny B

JT, Very nice build. That's the kind of trailer I'm wanting to build. One question are you going to put lights on the trailer? Kenny B

Outstanding award winning for sure. Very nice work. Kenny B

Mike, Oops I 'm just learning to use a ruler. I was thinking 2 1/4" not 1 1/4" as it should be.They will fit but you won't see them it's all fenders. They sure look real nice and will have to have a set for future builds. Kenny B.

Thanks William I was all excited until I measured my rear fenders. Kenny B

Very very nice work love them all. Why did you sell them???? How do you put a price on something like that??? Nice work. Kenny B

Very nice clean build I understand why it took you 2 years to build. Kenny B

A couple new mock-up pics. Still have lots to do I figure there is about 600 rivits to put in. Kenny B.

Michael, Very nice work. Does it have the Cat 3408 under the hood? Kenny B

John, Very nice retro with new, right down to the old school painted hubs and headlights. Very nice work. Does the hood open? Did you do all the air lines as well? I remember that old paint scheme and eagle back in the late 70's early 80's. Great build. Kenny B

I have the aerodyne KW it was blue. The red one is the flat top. Why doesn't P & P resin make any 1/16 scale parts. They re-released the Pete 359 you figure that someone would come out with something. All in time I guess. Maybe one day the 53 Pete that P & P does will be done in 1/16. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH Kenny B.

Michael, It is indeed 4" tall. Kenny B.

Justin, very nice clean work. How many hours/years did that take to build? Keep up the good work. Kenny B.

Thanks Mark for the info. Hey Tim I must have missed that one can you set me up? Kenny B

This is mine. Still have lots of room to add more glass shelves. Kenny B

Mark, Very nice work, looking at this makes me wish that I went all out on my suspention as well. Do you have a link for the K&S air cleaners. Will be watching this one. Kenny B

Mark, Very nice work,very nice detail. Thanks for the info on the rivits will be using them on my Pete for sure. Keep up the good work, will be watching this one. Kenny B.

William, Very nice work on the Pete. Are you going to plumb the engine? If you need some good links for the 3408 let me know. Also I used doll house hinges on mine works fine looks real. Keep up the nice work. Kenny B.

Very very nice.Super clean build one of the nicest I've seen. Kenny B

David, Yes my plan is to use LED's on it but I want them all to be hidden. Kenny B.
