  1. As they say in the U.P. of Michigan.. Holy Wah ! Nice SAR! Tim regards greenie
  2. Looking nice (and dirty) ! Tim
  3. Nice work on the dash! Smooth paint too! Tim
  4. Les This is just gonna look sweet! Aren't you glad Ben found that Apex slotted screen? Tim PS: Maude? You have dated yourself now.
  5. Looks like a cool project. Tim
  6. What brand of paint is this? I would use a big vat of SuperClean or Purple Power and soak the sleeper. Good luck! That's a lot of stripping. Tim
  7. Chuck I have done 4 trucks with the new style headlamp pods. Go to www.timstrucks.com and look at the Recent Builds page and also the contents then Peterbilt '87 and newer pages. Spaulding Trading and Shipping has the lamps, along with a 389 hood/doors/bumper conversion (it should be available soon). Tim
  8. Andy That is quite the undertaking! Tim
  9. Nice representation ! Tim
  10. Nice weathering. Your Volvo looks like it's been working. Tim
  11. Kurt I carved the headlights out of a block of plastic. Tim
  12. That is really nice. The base makes it look even better. Tim
  13. The owner of the real truck calls his truck Stacks. Here is my version. I started with an Italeri 377, stretched the frame to a 295" wheelbase. The hood, cab sides, extra tool boxes and bumper are resin from Spauldings (using my original pieces as patterns). The sleeper was scratch built except for the front 1/2 of the roof and the front panel. I modified the exhaust for the '08 emissions with DPF and dull piping. More pics are on the Recent Builds/On the workbench page at TimsTrucks.com Thanks for looking! Tim
  14. As Ben said, it is on my build list too. Nice work so far. Tim
  15. Chris Great job on the Peterbilt! Tim
  16. One of my first Trucker's Corner columns was titled "Frame up" and discussed the methods of frame stretching and cutting. I can't remember which issue it was. Anyone? (my mind is a blur anymore) Tim
