I keep admiring that build Jacobus, it's a work of art.

thanks guys, rears have been mounted. test fitting spring halves show an order that both sets line up better than vice versa. still undecided on paint colors for frame and cab.

engine painted and rear started

nice build of my fave lambo

hehe going to be a memory.

your work is amazing

you're building from one of my favorite peterbilt ads, looks good so far.

don't like building this way but it was the only way to make sure the intake manifolds line up with the turbo intake piping, oh well.

I decided to start with the engine, don't understand all the bling bling in this kit. this is why I don't care for show cars, all the chrome runs together into a mess. rather than strip all the chrome a light primer coat should work. the engine builds up nicely and looks the part. I want to thank everyone for their interest and input. the photos are great inspiration. colors for the chassis and cab remain undecided at this point. painting the starter, filters and alternator will be done after the gold paint dries thoroughly.

very clean build

well done

Thanx for the info and pics Jacobus.

thanx James for the great image and info.

lookin' good

I like full fenders but, that is one beautiful build.

wonderful build as usual Randy.

you could try 2 sets of decals layered one on top of the other. I have a set I won't be using If you need them let me know.

Jerry the Autocar I built went together fairly straightforward, by looking at the box art the 800 front axle needs slid forward a little.especially with larger tires, and shouldn't the engine be gold instead of red as shown on the box? Still in the planning stages but anxious to start. Looked at a bunch of 800 images on the internet for ideas. Thanx all for the input and interest.

thanks Jeff for the input

thanx for the link Jim,they're what i'm lookin' for.

thank you

gonna be a winter project, it would appear to be a challenge to make look good. does anyone know who makes flotation front tires that aren't too big?

Thank You All.

Thanks all.

great build
