Thanks! My wife has been casually reminding me every year for the past 18 years that she wanted a new bathroom. I figured that I better not let it go to 19. ?

Thanks Dan. The cab came with a dash, door panels, seat, and floor pan. I’m pretty sure that Charles mastered all of it.

Thanks for all the comments guys!! I was able to start back on this one after finishing a bathroom remodeling job for my wife.? The interior is in. For some reason my hood warped after painting it. It doesn’t fit as good as it did before. Getting closer to done though.

A lot of work to put all of this together. Looks Awesome though!

Great looking Peterbilt!! Very nice work!

I’m like you Vince. I never noticed it before but now I can’t unsee it. I did find a few 1:1s. The first 2 are listed as 2012 models. If you Google search Maxxforce 15 Prostar a few come up, even a couple for sale.

Great information! Thanks! I usually build old stuff, have came close to picking one of these up before. I think that I will be pass now.

I had never noticed this until you pointed it out. Was this a matter of making the hood fit an existing kit set up or was there an actual 1:1 design like the kit?

Nice looking Louisville!! Great work!

I really like the color it looks very vintage! I like the big Mercury sleeper too. I’ve always wondered what would be a good use for those Louisville stacks, and I believe that you found the perfect use. The stacks turned back really finish off the vintage look.

Nice looking Freightliner! Looks great as a wrecker!

Looks Awesome!! Excellent scratch building! The paint is very slick! Very clean work! Top notch work!!

Very nice project! The good it looks great!

I started driving the lawn mower before I could reach the pedals. Then tractors and forklifts at the shop where my dad worked. The first automobile that I drove was my dad’s 69 Chevrolet pickup. It had a T10 Borg Warner 4 speed in it. I wish that I would have kept that old truck, but it had no power steering or power brakes.

Cool! I’ve seen several of the fake restoration videos, but this one looks to be the real thing. Nice work!!

Click the three dots on the upper right hand corner of your post for the edit option. I just tried it and it worked.

Sharp looking Peterbilt!! It has a real vintage look! Great work!!

This was an Amazing build to watch come together!! I enjoyed every minute of it! The extra details knock this one out of the park! I really took some notes on the engine! I hope to build one for a White project some day, as White bought that engine and used it in their truck line later. Top notch work as always! This thing looks Awesome!

Excellent work! I enjoyed watching this one come together! The weathering looks great! Beautiful build all the way around!

Ebay seems to have a lot of people trying to sell there A and B model Transtars before the new one comes out, but I found this one very interesting. I hope that this isn’t going to be the normal for the new kit.

Beautiful build!! I personally would like to see more pictures!

I cut down the cabs on the 7400 and the Transtar II, the Brockway is a daycab from AITM.

Nice fire truck!!

You really nailed the look of the truck!! Great work!!
