Jim, That is a nice assortment of aftermarket parts. I am looking forward to watching you put them all together. Be Well Gator

Alain, Are you going to build the front plow for it? I think you should. The truck is awesome either way. Be Well Gator

Dan, you have this project looking really good. But you really need to try to make that flapper that Sean suggested. This truck is crying out for that little extra touch. Be Well Gator

Ken, You are making awesome progress on this project. I like what I've seen thus far! Be Well Gator

Darren, I like your headlight idea. I was thinking along those lines as well. Only in a slightly different location. OH before I forget please send me your home address in a pm. I will be looking for those decals over the weekend. Be Well Gator

That is cool! i like your CB. Be Well Gator

Tom, Looking forward to seeing the final paint job. i know I have enjoyed this build thread and learned a few things as well. Thanks for sharing the build with us ! Be Well Gator

Michael, Our condolences and prayers to you and your family on the loss of your Step mother. may she rest in peace! Be Well Gator

Sean, That interior looks really good! And I like the suspension change. Good thinking there. Be Well Gator

Hmmm! That is really a nice looking truck! Be Well Gator

Now I like that! Good looking heavy hauler you have there! Be Well Gator

Now that is some kinda huge ! You think they needed to do some serious route planning before that move?? I would like to have the money for the steel used in building the cradle ! Be Well Gator

Man that is neater than Rice Crispies !!! :-)) Be Well Gator

Darren, Your bamboo looks like it will work for the bed rails ! I also like your idea to use the visor that you made and cut it out and insert the patterned paper. Maybe you could match the outline of the roof cutout??? ;-)) Be Well Gator

Dan , You have this project looking real good . Be Well Gator

I have had the chrome on some of my real old built models do that. But I doubt the chrome is changing colors. That binder I believe was molded in red at one time. I also lived in Florida a very humid place. and had no A/C. I don't no what the actual shinney surface is but the base coat is like shellac. Be Well Gator

Clayton, Congrats on the new ride ! I think it looks pretty good. And you got a raise with the new ride. man dude you be rockin ! Be Well Gator

Darren, I am pleased that you like the idea for the visor brackets . You could even do the whole visor with that patterned paper. If anyone can carry it off ? It is you! OH your idea for the inside of the doors and pick up bed sound cool, Over here, They do a lot of wall covering , using split bamboo. Sometime they use a torch to color the joints and add some texture or depth the the project. They also use a product called Amican witch is thin strips of bamboo woven into a mat in different patterns. The Amican is used aa a wall covering on houses inside and out sometimes it gets varnished, or possibly polyurethane. Be Well Gator

Sean , Looks like your are making good progress on this one. I like what I see here. Be Well Gator

X' s 2 Good luck in your treatments. You and yours will be in our thoughts and prayers. Be Well Gator

X 4 Gold , Silver , or Black. Be Well Gator

Darren, That might qualify. But I was thinking more along the lines of the paper you used for the roof opening ! Be Well Gator

Brian, That is a cool looking build. I think you did a good job on it. Be Well Gator

Regardless of the scale. That is one very good looking Peterbilt. and it fits well into your stated time period. Love the paint scheme and colors! Be Well Gator

Darren, I really like the map on the interior of the cab. That looks cool.The visor is a great idea as well . For brackets you might take some of the filigreed paper andsuper glue a couple of matching pieces together. And then us some plastic underneath where is won't show. Hope that makes sense??? lol Be Well Gator
