Hey, real truck drivers know what cool is. This is what I'm going to building when I get around to actually building it. Long, low K100 with a spread axle reefer.

Thanks for checkin in fellas. I appreciate the comments. I did a little more on this tonight. I did some "massage" sanding to the roof line, removed the wing wind and squared the windshield a little. I also removed the vents on the side of the cab. Next I'll be filling in the holes where the kit air cleaner and Luberfiner tank were supposed to go.

Very nice choice Matt. I think your wanting more like this I'm guessin.

It's about time for John Bonham to go again to the next level. He's been gone long enough. The way things are going, somebody will joining the massive super group concert in the beyond.

Makin head way on this. Lookin good. Oh, and Happy Birthday!

I've always like Desperado and Take It to the Limits. This news just sucks. The future of music isn't lookin very good. I cringe knowing that people like Miley and Dweeber are what's popular.

Lookin forward to your pics and progress on this.

Another great musician gone to that jam session of a life time in the sky. The sad part is, all these great musicians are getting up there their late 60s and beyond. The music world is really gonna suffer some great losses in the future. I know death is inevitable, but now it's close than we want to accept.

Finally got something going on this. I decided to do Tim Alborns poor man 379 conversion on this. I filled in the air cleaner cut out on the hood, then removed the intake panel on the cab. Next I'll spray some primer and start sanding the edges to make it more rounded like a 379.

Great choice Jim. Lookin forward to seeing what you end up with.

Thanks Dave and Ken.

Good to see ya makin some progress on this. I've used your glue and color technique. Works well on them tiny bits. Lookin good man.

Great job Sean. I loved the show, love the build. Good to see this one done and another off your bench.

I agree totally. I'll add my "handle" and maybe start making a cool name tag to wear when I'm gonna hang out at a show.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Micheal.

Here's the link to Tim's directions. http://www.timstrucks.com/PB4.html As far as a decal maker... Modeltruckin.com He has decals, but someone to make them, maybe someone on here will chime in to help out. I don't have the program or a decent printer, other wise I would.

You can! Pick you up an Italeri 378 day cab, it's just been released, then scratch up or find a bed that you like from a kit. Tim Alborns site has the way to make it a 379. I've driven a few Pete transfers. I'm drivin a Western Turd transfer now.

I vote Pete, but I'm a little bias.

Yep, agreed with Sean and Dan. Parts box are very interesting.

Great lookin Deuce. Love the color. Awesome job all around on this.

Great work. Every update is like a lesson in super detailing model cars. Love it man, awesome stuff.

Thank you very much everybody. My original thinkin before even buying the kit was classic black and red. I'm sure happy with the white and green. Definitely not the usual.

Don't fear the Reaper!

Dan Haggerty today, Alan Rickman yesterday. Some young Disney actor, Celine Dion's husband, Otis Clay, a few actors and singers from the 50s. Something like 16 have passed already this year.
