I suppose those would work.

Good to know. Where do you recommend you get correct front floats for the Bill Signs Peterbilt 359? Isn't the actual truck a 359-127?

He has the Bill Signs Peterbilt 359 on "Pre-Order" for $79 as well.

Do you mean the Peterbilt 353 "Western Life" or the Peterbilt "Canadian Hauler"? Model Express has them listed for about $65.

Have you check out Old Dodges? They might have some good photos.

That's pretty!

That looks pretty good. I guess you can say you're the first with a LoneStar model! Good job.

Nice combination.

KJ, those are rally nice. I've got to find one of this Great Dane reefers. One of these days. Are you planning on bringing these to Fulton?

Thanks, but I cannot take credit for the paining on the Astro. A friend of mine did it for me.

I'm pretty sure that both the W900 & K100 Aerodynes in 1976 had the tandem torsion bar suspension as an option. So, on that note, both of my Bicentennial Kenworths will have the tandem torsion bar suspension. Have to make a matched set, ya know.

Nice job. I like your engine detail, and the color is really nice, too. What sort of mirrors are you looking for?

That looks really nice, Ray. Much better that the stock fifth wheel plate. I'm glad I could inspire someone! I have another one of these kits in the stash that will be made into one of the Bicentennial W900s, so now you've inspired me to try this. Between this & replacing the 8-bag suspension with the tandem torsion bar suspension it should be an interesting build.

Those are both looking really nice.

Thanks, guys. The steerable front axle on the GMC is a kit modified part. Didn't come out quite as nice as I'd hoped, but it's ok. There's too much "slop" in the wheels.

Looking good, Ray. I like where this is going. That orange plastic is tough to cover!

I like it so far! Very nice work. Is that another one in the background? I like the visor on that one.

Nice save. That KW looks really nice.

Might have to look into this one.

I think everyone will agree with me when I say that the wheels on the Revell USA snap kits are not very good. The rear wheels are worse. It's the same wheel that's in Peterbilt 359 snap kit. I happen to have an extra set. If you want them, I'll send them to you. The Alcoa Wheels logos that I used came from SourKraut.

Who does Howard at KFS use? His parts seem really nice. Then there's Eric (Porky) over here in North Carolina.

As promissed! It was a bright, sunny day here in Central New York, so I managed to snap a couple of pictures of my Fruehauf tank trailer with a couple of different tractors. And I only managed to break off a mud flap from the trailer!

I like it!

The articel was in Phil Jensen's book. I'm pretty sure I have that articel scanned onto my other computer. I'll try & remember to post them.

Oh, Bumper Chrome isn't all that shiney. I mean it's shiney, but it isn't like the chrome that comes in the kits.
