Awesome job on the build!!!! Old Mack looks like it lived on the "back roads" most of it's life!!!! DJ

Great job on the build!!!! (Love the "ice cream" van too!!!!!) DJ

DITTO!!!! DJ

Nice job on the Pete!!!! DJ

Extremely sharp!!!!! Stripes really set it off!!!! DJ

Turned out real sharp!!!! DJ

Really a sharp build!!!! Great job!!!! DJ

Second that!!! DJ

Bless yur heart..... whatta bunch of work!!!! Your efforts have proved "worth the hassle" tho!!!! Sharp truck, and fantastic fabrication!!!! DJ

Sharp build in spite of the kit's "shortcomings"!!!! Very impressive!!!! DJ

Excellent build!!!! Very realistic!!!! DJ

I would LOVE to see the 4070a re-popped!!!! The last truck I saw dad in (YEARS AGO) was one, but just have trouble shelling out the BIG bucks they want on Ebay…. DJ

Prefer the older generation models, but.... for one of the "newer" one, sure does look good!!!! DJ

"Show-Stopper" is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!! Your efforts and TALENT really show!!!!! DJ

Nice job!!!! What type of trailer are you gonna put behind it? DJ

Really a SHARP lookin' build!!!! Like the color/stripe combo!!! DJ

Absolutely agree!!!! That's is truly one of the BEST jobs I've seen done on one of these conversions!!!! (and I can attest to how CRUMMY some of the resin castings are.... bought one at one of the model shows, when I got to examining it once I was home, I ended up giving it away....) DJ

Followed your "WIP" on this one..... Turned out FANTASTIC!!!!! Like the others said : the weathering in first class all the way!!!! DJ

Watching this one..... What engine/trans are you gonna use Jerry? DJ

Outstanding job!!!! Gives me some ideas for a couple of the ones I have left over..... DJ

Great job on the "overhaul"!!!! Looks FANTASTIC!!!! DJ

Now please let me start by saying that KERRY's method (mentioned above) is BY FAR the more "correct way" to keep it straight while drying, but...… One of the guys that used to belong to our local hobby club used to heat the warped frame rails over the stove top, cool with water, glue together, then placed a brick on top to keep it straight while drying...... I can't be the one to criticize him..... his old stuff always seemed to have a straight frame!!!! DJ

100% with what Jeff said..... judging from the size of the dump-bed in the picture, looks like the one from the Louisville kit would be closest.... and yes, those that Dave casts are really nice units.... If you do decide to use one from the Paystar 5000 (and don't have one) holler at me. DJ

Second that!!!! DJ

Great looking old Pete!!!! What engine did you use??? DJ
