Greg, I'll take whatever you've got: engine, sleeper (mine's the small 36", but I don't know what the walls are supposed to look like), cab. The engine on the model is a Cat 3406A. What's under the hood on your truck? I really appreciate it. You can PM me if you want to. Jim

Well, that's two negatives on the BMF Ultra Bright. Guess I'll shick with the "chrome". What about the flat aluminum?

Greg, Your photos of your dad's truck could not have come at a more opportune time for me. I'm working on the Revell Snap Peterbilt 395 which is a 1986-ish truck, and I'm planning on doing the Oxblood red interior. Your photos are great! Thank you, thank you thank you!

Beautiful as always. Fantastic work, and the lines look straight to me! When you usa the Bare Metal Foil "chrome", do you use the "chrome" or the "bright chrome"? Have you ever used the flat aluminum?

A 346. That's a big truck, kind of funny looking, though. I wonder if the front axle that far back gave it a better turning radius.

Tim, Your avatar, what exactly is that you're hanging on? I'm guessing it's you.

You can check with Daniel Gailloux from Plaskit. He doesn't have a Website, but his email is plaskit_resin@yahoo.ca and he has some Alcoa chrome plated resin wheels. Shoot him an email & he'll email you a catalog (at least he sent me one). You can also try Kit Form Services http://www.kitformservices.com/ , but since the prices are in British Pounds, be prepared to pay A LOT of US dollars. Good luck!

Well, that's different! Where did you get the picture? Jim

Jairus, That is my real name, but if you must know, my full name is James Bongiovanni. I'm 38 years old, and I live in Chittenango, NY (which is near Syracuse). Jim

Welcome to the forum! I'm relatively new here as well, but here is the link to Spaulding Trading & Shipping that you wanted: http://www.stsmodeltrucks.com/ You also might want to check out Truckmodeler.com at http://tahlborn.web.aplus.net/TMC/tmc_title.htm He has a lot of links on his site for truck companies, modeling links, and other cool things. Also, if you have ANY Peterbilt questions, Tim's the man to ask. (Sorry, Tim, had to throw that one in there!) Jim

I just looked up "Snapper" in a US dictionary, and found no offensive meanings. I don't know what they're talking about, unless they find fish offensive. Jim
