This will be cool

Cool project

cant wait to see what yours turns out to be

I don't have pics yet but will get some up here later... hopefully next week ill have something if not by the end of the day

This is cool seeing everyones unfinished projects... I have to many to post and not with me...

this will be cool...

Ive done the google search who knows how many times and its always the same pics... just like you said mostly ones with the cheesy rubber band tires...

Where do you guys find these testors paint racks at for I don't have one yet??? O.o and btw wasn't there a thread already of WORKBENCH SATURDAYS that show pics of your benches on to?

Well I know for sure the cali. hauler has lately been reissued for I have three of em and about to finish one soon the sleeper is what I'm concerned about for id like to get my hands on one to just look at and know what they look like and maybe build one for fun? O.o Also I'd like to see the 67-72 c10 truck kits get reissued as well from the first 67 to the last 72 and all years b/w mainly for grill and build options... wonder what happened to all that tooling for those to?

Hummer h2 models what have you built and how for I'm looking for inspiration to build one myself...

Well I wonder if anyone has heard anything on the t-500 pete 359 cali hauler molds whether they found the sleeper box and what shape it was in and all?

How about this: How many letters are in the alphabet? 19! ET hopped in his UFO and took off for home with the FBI hot on his tail

Nice I think the only one I may have finished is my 349H tractor if that I'm not sure but nice rigs so far I do have one ALMOST done which is Cali. Hauler for I just need to find some time with some light...

looks good though could use the tire tread sanded would look even much better.

Gary Wallace is what GW stands for

There used to be a company location up in Marietta Oh where I used to live (Now last I heard its an IH workshop/Dealership) that used to run pete square noses with 60'' bunks I think the name used to be WETZ (I think they used to haul bulk stuff?) or something?... they were a nice blue with some fancy gold striping up the side... Even had a couple matching junk kw's

I checked it out and you are correct its a 72 via I forgot about that particular kit

I thought that stepside kit was a '68 model year and not a '72?

Awesome dash! looks like you hit it with gold foil and painted a couple different colors starting with a black then to a dark brown?

You don't have to lengthen the frame right there... You could have lengthened it under the cab/sleeper somewhere to where it wont be visible when you pop that hood?... and move the cab/sleeper back slightly without having to extend the front to clear that gw hood if you need anymore info get ahold of Tim A. the Pete Guru around here...

That's cool I may have to snag a few up... I have one of the older versions myself and didn't know about the decal issue... but will fix that with new ones soon via the old ones are destroyed in a flood...

I don't have pics yet but can get some later unless someone else wants to post? ie the Pete Guru... But an easy mod for the beginner is taking the hood off any of the 359 kits and sanding the rivet detail and removing the forward fender mounting bracket and maybe one other thing to take it from a steel hood to a fiberglass unit... can also take a snapper kit and an extra frame to lengthen the frame while retaining only two cuts instead of the usual 4...(May do that later to show clarification for not sure if you folks understand what I was saying anyways on that note...) Not sure what else can be done other than swap engines but that gets tricky with a couple parts (Note my Cat swap into a SBA 377 kit build I'm doing) Can also swap out tires and wheels from the snapper to a set of Mobius ones... (Note if anyone has extra snap tires that's good pm me please) Not sure what else other than the usual merc bunk on the cali hauler for petes is mostly what I build minus the one WS and maybe a Kw or Diamond reo kit...

Nice work so far... I may have to snag one and figure out how to convert it to a Coronet instead...

There was a CANCER AWARNESS BUILD going on at youtube... I had an entry called THE CRANKY SPECIAL and posted wip pics in the model car section... didn't finish it yet for I'm waiting on PINK...

There FIXED!!!
