Thank you! It’s a relatively easy customization to carry out, I just recommend using a fast setting glue

Save me a seat in the front for this one! Looking forward to watching this one be built.

Air ride front axle is complete! I’ll plumb the air bags and brakes once I start plumbing the rest of the frame. The new leaf springs are made out of strip styrene, airbags are from Iceman Collections, and I used the existing kit shocks

Revell of Germany, I specified in the title because Revell as a whole actually makes two Peterbilt 359 kits: the level 5 from Revell of Germany which I am assembling, and the snap tite 359 kit made by Revell of America I believe R.O.G Kit Snap Tite Kit

My pleasure

Thanks for following along!

Yes some of them actually do haul freight! The airbags on the axles can be aired up to increase the ride height. Air can be let out of the bags to achieve a “slammed” look.

Anyone have an air line diagram for a Peterbilt 359 by chance? Looking to start detailing on the frame soon.

Thank you, I hope to get the look of that top 359 but also make it a unique build. I sure hope for it to be a show stopper!

Thanks for following along Ron!

Thank you, fine looking trucks indeed! Great work on that plow truck you’re doing, your scratch building skills are second to none!

Thank you, been closely following your resto rod Autocar, super cool truck!

Here I will be posting my build of a custom Peterbilt 359 based off of the Revell of Germany kit. I plan on fabricating an air ride front axle, adding custom fenders, and detailing the engine along with a lot of other custom touches. I hope to start on this model towards the middle/end of this week so stay tuned for this build as I will try to provide frequent updates. Questions, comments, and constructive criticisms are greatly appreciated! Attached photos below are my inspiration for the build.

Great build! That paint looks phenomenal. Do you happen to know the measurement of the gap between the front wheel and front fender on this model? I recently got it and I plan on making an air ride front axle for it. I’m curious how much room I have for lowering it.
