Tim, Nicely done! she is a beauty, if youre outa shelf space in your new truck room, I would be happy to show it on my shelf for ya I only have a 359 Pete (box stock) and a 350 Payhauler (box stock) so far. Tim

Thanks for the welcome, and the fast replies. Looks like I'm off to the store to get some oven cleaner (I can hear the "honey-do" list gettin bigger already) Jeff, thanks for the offer, I have been sanding my but off and almost have it back in shape, I will use oven cleaner on the other one and see if there is a noticable differance between the two (shape wise) and let you know. I don't have a spray gun yet and am using spray paint from Lowe's, I have aready learned that the VALSPAR yellow is ######! With two coats of primer and two coats of the Valspar yellow, it looks awful. Today I picked up some Rustoleum Yellow, and one coat put a smile back on my face Hopefully this won't melt the plastic. What do you guys use for a sprayer?

Hi, My name is Tim, I am new to the forum and just getting back into modeling after a 30 year break. I always loved the big rigs, and as a kid, built several kits (mostly ERTL, they were the bomb back then). I never did much customizing, so I feel like a total newb. I am Curently working on an Alaskin Hauler Pete, I have the paint scheme picked out ,but am having trouble removing the chrome from the tanks. Any tips would be helpful, as I already have made a mess out of one of them trying to use a roto tool. (seems plastic melts pretty quick) Thanks in advance Tim
