DRIPTROIT 71

Thanks for all the comments!! After fighting with this frame time and again, I finally took some of my son's Legos and made a jig to put this frame together. It is finally straight! The air ride minus the bags and rear axles are installed thanks to the help form Sean "Old buckaroo". R model springs were used on the front. The frame on an R model gets wider at the front, but on the B and H models it does not. After installing the springs, the Mack front axle from both the AMT kit and The MPC/Ertl kit were slightly too wide at the spring perches. Since this is a custom, I installed a Road Boss front axle with poseable front wheels. The engine is 85% together, the transmission will be a 4x4 Spicer. A 4 speed auxiliary is mounted as well. I'm casting tank mounts and brake chambers. It seems that I didn't have as many as I had thought. The wheelbase is right at 270" in scale. Still a long way to go!

Nice! I like the little tank on the back!

Wow! Painted without a decal! You have sure built some very nice trucks!!

Very nice Autocar!

Very nice! You've got a model building factory going on there!

Old Buckaroo "Sean" really helped me out with some suspension parts, and didn't ask for anything in return. Thanks Sean!!!

Thanks for the kind words Dennis!!

This one is my favorite build of yours so far! I have always wanted to cut down a Peterbilt cab the way that you have done this one! Very nice work!!

Very nice, but does it have sleeper enough room??? L.O.L. Great job cutting the cab for the stacks!!!

Nice build!!!

Very nice!! Great choice with the 903!

You really did a lot of work to this one. I like it!! Good work!!

The 110" 352 has always been my favorite Peterbilt. Nice work! I built a resin 110" 352 years ago, but I've never stretched one of these myself. I hope to try one day though.
