Sounds good. Thanks Roger!

Can somebody recommend a brand or color name/number for this truck. I've started this project of a Freightliner COE but can't find a color to match the one in the photo. I have Testors Metallic Silver but it does look a little too flat/matte.

...

Looks more aerodynamic than modern trailers,

Thanks for your answers.

Can this type of setup back to a dock or anywhere? Or is it only forward all the time?

Why is it " gonna push your skills"? We've seen all your work so this one should be no problem for you.

Sean: Just placed the order for just one set and it went thru with no problems.

I'm going to place an order. I'll let you know how it goes.

Another from Hobby Lobby with 40% off. The plan is to replicate the one from the photo. Modeltrucking has the right decals.

What about the engine color on a 70s coe Freightliner?

I tried that myself and I personally find gloss black hard to apply. I always got tiny bubbles. Flat black is a lot easier to work with. I clear coat now flat blacks with Testors High Gloss Clear.

Check Tim's site. One of my favorites. http://public.fotki.com/mackinac359/peterbilt-model-gallery/california-hauler-2014/

Hey Terry. I got your same California Hauler at Hobby Lobby also, with a 40% discount. Love Hobby Lobby!

Beautiful combination of colors. You did a professional job for a first big rig. I would push the rear tires out over the wheels a little more. One of my favorite kits, I have two of these.

Looks like a good thread to me.

Coincidentally, for the last few days I've been looking over all the internet and mostly ebay for a pup trailer but they are very limited and the very few you find are ridiculously expensive. Finally I gave up and thought about doing the same thing you are doing but my skill level is not that good. But I see you are good at it. So if you are willing to sell at least one of those let me know.

Christmas gift.

A few more.

Let us see your trucks.

And don't forget our Daisy BB Guns.

Well said!!!

This is a beautiful funny car. I really mean it.

Thanks. I only have the Fruehauf flatbed trailer and a 3 axle gravel trailer. Would the flatbed be realistic for this truck? I know the gravel trailer would be too heavy.

I don't mind the issues.
