BMI.... Body mass index, i think im done venting for today

Most of 2 axles are cali hay haulers, the white and dark blue is a locdl truck where i live, i see it all the time, the owner bought a really nice w900l blue metallic and ordered a matching set of western hay trailers, ill get a pic and post it, its a clean truck

Gorgeous, im jealous, looks so good, very nice work

Theres a you tube video of him tryin to get out of a dock, it took like 6 back up and forwards to get away from it. Its what would be considered a dock with lots of room. It looks cool but not a real a good idea out there, he makes it so power to him.

Well then get out here, in the traffic, fight all the morons that cant drive a yugo, and be a truck driver, NOT A STEERING WHEEL HOLDER, people say the most ridiculous things but wont do anything about it, find us healthier, more affordable food, until then, get out of the way and let us work, your holdin up progress. I am over weight, but do not have any problems with my breathing or apnea, i do my job, i do it well, and look good doin it. Yes there are drivers that need cpaps and do need observation, not ALL. As said above, the way they are going bout it is all wrong. The government needs to get out here and put it in the wind, jamb some gears, get some bugs on the glass, keep the left door shut and hammer down, before they anybody how to do what some of us love passionately, that have diesel runnin our veins. That live for those moments that make you glad to be alive, drivin through some of the most beautiful parts of this country that most will never see, see the sunrise or sunset that nobody saw, thats who a real driver is, someone that just loves to be out there grindin away on these highways. Before anyone starts tellin me how to do my job, why not step back and observe how i do it, watch and learn.

The long black 1 with the reefer, the wheelbase is 350", its called project 350.

Here are some pics of peterbilts, built by clint moore at kansas city peterbilt

Or spark plugs on a diesel!!! I mean really, i thought they were crazy, my trucks gone through 4 in a year and a half

The problem are these retards writing our rules and regulations. If they want to write our laws, you BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH sure well as get in the truck and drive it too. You cannot properly tell me how to do my job if you cant do it yourself, they have no idea. They are the people going up and down same highways as us and have no idea of how to even get in the truck and theyre tellin me how to do my job. This is an issue that really, deeply bothers me and do not agree with it at all, not even remotely in the area of kinda. Im sure they enjoy the house they live in, enjoy the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the toilet paper they wipe with, the car they drive, the drive way they park it on, everything at 1 point or another was on or in a truck. Their goal is to get trucks as much off the highways as possible. This greatly does not sit well with me. This country would grind quickly to halt if the trucks stopped for 1 week. It would be anarchy. Grocery stores empty within 2 days, gas stations out of gas within a 1 day, fast food and restaurants out of food, this country has no idea how screwed it would be if the trucks would just stop. I know it would never happen, but the politicians and legislators who bark and tell us how, what and when for our jobs. To quote elmer fudpucker, leave us truckers alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats exactly how i do it, connect bigger stacks to smaller plastic. My cabover is done that way. These 1:1 trucks are purposely built stubby, sucks the trailer close for fuel mileage, i think it looks goofy, but im still and always will be a fan of wheelbase and cool lookin trucks. Think ill post some pics on the 1:1 page.

That is a clean little truck. Nice work!!! Colors look great

That is outstanding work. I need to find a better source for sheet plastic and formed pieces. I want to build an RGN, someday....

Great classic styling, lookin good

Lookin good man, grey and black looks really good together, it goes with any color body. Great progress, wish i could say the same for my projects

I agree with, things are never finished. You always see something or decide to change things, im changing the fenders again on my "finished" little 359.

I'd have to agree with everyone else.....This is one very nice build.....I like 1/32 scalers like this one.....Stretched and built well....Very nice setup..... The best cabover, is a stretched cabover!!!!

Ooohh my, i just got the inspiration i needed to build the pete cabover finally, this absolutely awesome. My jaw actually dropped!!

Heres a couple pics to get you cabover ford model fans to think about for some possible inspiration!

Thats right, i drove an 88 379 pete with a mechanical 3406 with 700 horse, got over 8 mpg, i now drive a '13 386 pete, cummin isx and 500 horse, gettin 4.5, doin the same loads, on the same roads, dont lie to me that these new motors are more fuel efficent, cleaner burning, ok, not fuel efficent. Very aggravating, the maintance and extra cost of the DEF and DPF servicing, makin hard to enjoy driving, constantly forkin out money. Down time, all this is doing is costing the driver, owner , and company money with no change in rates. Ok enough venting for me

Lookin good, creative, different, i love it when see outside the box thinkin!!

Thats an awesome weathered old chevy, i also like the little guy takin inventory of the tires in the background

Thats exactly what he did, its different, outside the box thinkin, kinda jealous i didnt think of it. They probably would drag the ground but thats how we roll on the west coast. Low and slow!!

Thanks for the info. Again nice work

You could do stainless look on the sides, bmf, alclad or whatever you use for that look. Gold on reefer unit, fuel tank, landing gear and suspension. Or black instead of the stainless look, gloss black with a waving ribbon of that gold down the side.
