    Bob. Thanks for the complement. Yes that Green is my favorite. I had the motivation to build this I just didn’t want to because it was so rare

    Here’s a update. I cut the wheels where the axles go so they would snuggle underneath the body. I also got some paint on it the green is Testors Emerald green metallic lacquer. I took a pic of it with the bench light off because it doesn’t give it justice.

    Thanks for the information. I let that teevee get away from me when it was at a reasonable price. I hope AMT has these molds stored somewhere and repops it. My decal sheet reads it was a 5/1970 year I don’t know when it was released or when they quit producing it.

    Steve. Thanks I couldn’t stand it anymore not to build this. Yes it would be really nice if they would I like the box art on this too. Vince. I think your right we just need the Glass Packs for it and the engine looks complete

    For many years I tried to buy this from my Brother Bill. Finally several years ago he gave in and sold it to me. I often thought about building it many times but decide to keep in the collection. Well today I decided to build it. I’ll be building the tow’dster version

    Thanks JT for the complement. I’m kind stumped on the back wheels at the moment I’ll probably go with Freightliner ones.

    Never built one of these Cabovers with a long chassis seen one in a pic one time and always wanted to build one like it
  22. Pete68
    I started this truck last year sometime I was wondering if a AMT Cabover Peterbilt would work on a AMT little window Peterbilt frame. So far so good. I’ve used some spare parts I had laying around and one I found was a Battery Box lid from my brother Bill’s old Pete Cabover he built around 1970 thought it would be a classy touch to the truck. This is what I have so far.
  23. Pete68
    Very nice well done
  24. Pete68
    Thanks for the complement Brian. It’s Caterpillar Yellow from Tractor Supply in a spray.

    It’s been a while since I posted but today I worked a little on the Pete. I added the grill and finished the frame and painted it.
