J.B. Customs

I built this truck in honor of my father. The roof and cab back are 3D printed, resin hood, the stacks, bumper, and corner sticks are aluminum, the chassis shortened 3/4”, and a few hand crafted parts and salvage yard parts. My dad started driving truck in the 50’s purchased his 1st truck in 65 he raced the Liberty Belle in the late 70’s into the early 80’s he retired in January 2023 at the age of 87 witch of the last 17 years he drove for Rochester Iron & Metal, he believed that if the wheels weren’t turning you weren’t making any money, you couldn’t make money letting someone else work on your truck, and a real race truck could pull a trailer, he passed away in August 2023

Still have to do some modifications underneath the hood still not tilting back to the cab enough

Just a little bit at a time still a lot of small stuff to do

SUPER KOOL 🤯

The roof is 3D printed, and it is a 1/24 AMT kit not a die cast. The frame rails have been shortened 3/4” the original batterie boxes revamped and the unused bunk used to make the lower panel’s below the doors and the cabs air ride

Going to take some work

Would like to see a flyer and categories list. Sorry not on Facebook

Always impressed

Simple Amazing so much detail 🤯

Another mind blowing 🤯 detail can’t wait to see what you do next this is a remarkable build

Every time I tune in to your build there’s always something new and amazing to learn great ingenuity

Great build,Outstanding Details

Well I think that I am finished I am sure that I will probably tweak some little things that I see in the pictures for an amateur builder I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. I would like to thank everyone for sharing how too’s ,tips, and coaching me along I hope that I haven’t disappointed

Engine details are amazing

Your detailing is utterly awesome

One last picture before I do the last remaining final details. The next post will be in under glass I would like to thank everyone for there help and encouragement this build has really been a great learning experience Thanks Again, Jeff

Fantastic fix great ingenuity

Getting a little closer to the finish line

Well I have to be totally honest I muffed up the last paint job trying to fix my mistakes and used air quality as a excuse. But the redo led to a couple improvement’s the mirrors and vents the vents I was actually going to leave plain l tried the filling in with marker suggestion but didn’t like the way it looked and then a friend gave me a couple of other ideas witch turned out really realistic so hopefully I don’t Muff it up this time around

I would have to say, not just another plain white box. They both look fantastic 👍

Still not perfect but but it will have to do

Ready to try it again I did swap out the stake side mirrors for a set of Louisville Hauler mirrors from the salvage boxes I think that they are actually a better fit for this build now to give it a good day to dry then wet sand then paint

Definitely mind blowing 🤯 detail from start to finish fantastic work
