  1. It is a revell 359 peterbilt that I’m building for the 2018 cannonball run community biuld:

    it will be shortened into a day cab, three turbos with water to air intercooler on a 3406 cat engine, 4 fuel tanks, custom interior with a roll cage and much more. 

    Here are some mock-up pics as I can’t start building until January 1st but I want to know what you guys think of it.

  2. Thanks guys. I am building the truck as a race truck for the cannonball run community build and just want the engine to make lots of HP. So it won't be pulling a trailer. But you guys did give me an idea to run an inercooler and if anyone has pics of a bigrig inercooler that would be great ( I have a problem with google images and it won't let me view any pics) that would help a lot. 

    Thanks

     

  3. There are a lot of trucks like that running around northern BC Canada for the oil and gas industry. They are mainly used to move parts of drilling rigs.  

    I have a revell kenworth t900 Australia that I am currently building as a tandem steer bed truck. The pic is just a mockup and I have the original frame laying beside it for size refrence

  4. I had an idea when looking at the new hot rod magazine today. 

      Has anyone heard of hot rod drag week? Here it is: hotrod and here's  last years results with all the different classes: hot-rod-drag-week-2017-official-results-winners

    So the rules would be that you have to build a car that you would want to drive 1000 miles on 5 different drag tracks and must be street legal. 

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Cale, you'd be doing us a favor if you'd pick a build that will be your "main" build, the one you intend on completing no matter what, to be ready on race day. With fewer build options than normal, freeing up some build ideas and potential kits/ engine sources, would be appreciated. You can still build all three of course. No one wants to be up against three other Skylines on race day. Catch my drift?

    Me? I'd build that Skyline.

    Yeah I think the skyline will be my main build. The reason I have 3 builds planed is for backups incase I don't like the way the first one went or something happens to it. I probably will build 2 out of the three I just need to figure out what one will be the backup.

    Hope this helps.
