well i got a lil update on this one finally !! ;D ;D ;D i still got a lil ways to go before its finished, like the visor and air dam will be painted to match the truck, decals , lights , flaps , mirrors etc etc. i can see the light at the end of the tunnel so i am a happy camper!! ;D

hey jim will the "top hats" fit in the amt rims and if so can we order them by themselves ?

kostas the room is looking good , especially with all them peterbilts stacked up like they are !! youve got some building to do lol

wow ! youve got alot going on there for sure. looks good so far, i like the spring hangers

leo that just aint right at all :o !!!!! just looking at it hurt my feelings a lil bit lol :lol:

that sure is a good lookin truck !!!!!!!!!

WOW !!! what a great job, that ford looks right at home and you have done some super detail to it. im looking forward to seeing the next of your series. iwhen my dad got back from veitnam he was a fireman for a couple years in avenal cal. and i think i remember seeing pics of like this, lol i was to small to remember then. thanks for sharing this one with us

lol its gotta be the camera cause its blue phone line , i got like 5 floorescent lights on in my model room and it tends to make things glow and look a lil lite sometimes lol

thanks matt, i guess that lil coil for the fith wheel slider lock does look a lil grey, lol but its painted the same color. i might have to hit it with another coat maybe. im waiting on some awesome decals form that wierd decal guy lol then ill clearcoat it and put all the lights, horns mirorrs etc etc on it and hopefully be done!! :lol:

ok yall i got a few more things done: i got the tanks painted and mounted, the dog house insulated, suzie coils installed , the fith wheel release and slider airline on, bumper refurbished and drilled for fog lights. still got a lil ways to go before its done but im happy the way things are goin on it

oh yeah thats nice!!!! great looking ol 359 and tanker ooooops i mean great looking 379!! :lol:

thats a good lookin pete. anyway to get some pics of it out of the glass?? maybe a few different angles?

gonna look great once ya get the stacs and lights etc etc all on it. i like it !!

tim you have definately hit the mark of "destination excellence" . great job !!

amt/ertl also made a k-100 kenworth aerodyne you can find both of them on ebay for a half a fortune lol

looking sharp tim !!! top notch for sure

good find ben!! they look just like them wabash's ya see goin down the road. have you found any measurements yet?

it would definately pull it up lol, make a lil rack for it or something of the sorts

i would say the main reason for havin an upright exhaust system is to get the noise away from the cab, especialy if you have a set of team drivers. the one in the bunk will really apreciate it

oh i like it!!!! looking great so far pollock !!

im not positive but i think the ford c600 box truck is shorter then the louisville hauler, but im sure with a lil modification you could make it fit

i think this thread is right where it belongs robert please keep us posted on this one, i think its gonna be a heck of a race car hauler!!

i got the cab all adjusted , lol no more leaning. i made the exhaust from aluminum tubing, and thanks to a trick past on to me i got them mounted fairly nicely ;D. i got the air breather , radiator and exhaust from motor all plumbed. if ya have any tips or see my mistakes please help me out . lol im getting excited, this will be my second completed build in almost 20 years . waitin on decals so i can clearcoat the cab then finish the exterior. still got a lil ways to go

nice job on the old dog

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
